 * Keep These are templates. WP:TEMPLATE, in its first paragraph, helpfully explains that templates "contain repetitive material that might need to show up on a larger number of articles or pages". They do. They are used in more than 300 articles. The deliberate destruction of these templates means that the contents will have to be pasted into 300 separate articles, which will need to be maintained 300 times to keep the connect correct, rather than 10 templates.

 * This template is a violation of WP:TG, which says Templates should not normally be used to store article text, as this makes it more difficult to edit the content. Which is exactly why the previous one was correctly deleted, and exactly why these should all be deleted too. Article text should be written in articles not templates, even if similar text is warranted in a number of articles. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:53, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Ugh; there is no policy "violation". This is a rather clear situation as specified by the guideline where the content should be in a template. Your goal appears to be to make editing these articles harder by trying to eliminate templates that make the task much easier. Editing ten templates is far easier than editing 300 articles, one at a time. Thanks so much for making the point even better than I did. Alansohn (talk) 00:12, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
 * There is a clear violation of template guidelines, as article text shouldn't be in templates. The point of templates is navigation, these templates don't aid navigation. Not sure what bit of my one-line quote is so difficult to understand? Joseph2302 (talk) 17:49, 10 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete all per previous TFD noted. If content duplication is a problem, it can be mitigated using selective transclusion from a main article, instead of hosting article text in template namespace. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 17:10, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  03:51, 10 November 2022 (UTC) No longer necessary as linear gradient is now fully supported by the MediaWiki-supported browsers. Undocumented, so the original intent of the template does not appear to be available. It kind of looks like it meant to be able to shift its color inputs from one format to another, but I don't see that as generally necessary in this kind of template. Also disenables TemplateStyles.

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  12:21, 10 November 2022 (UTC) I've made this one use, as in all other locations it was an unneeded template. The majority of remaining uses were for  and some , properties which are no longer necessary for the browsers that MediaWiki supports. It's not a very good template because it assumes the structure of vendor-specific CSS will be the same as the non-vendor-specific, when there are sufficiently many examples in the wild where that was not the case. It otherwise might be a reasonable template for tracking vendor specifics, but we have Special:Search these days to find uses that no longer need to have vendor specific CSS. Izno (talk) 03:10, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Css3
 * As the creator of this template, I agree with it should be deleted. There's no longer need for the browser-specific CSS prefixes except for esoteric properties that we likely wouldn't want to rely on anyway. The pace of browser adoption of new features has greatly increased since this template was created, and these days it's best to simply wait for the broad adoption of new CSS properties before using them. --Waldyrious (talk) 03:33, 3 November 2022 (UTC)

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template(s) or module(s) below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  03:50, 10 November 2022 (UTC) I do not see a need for this template any longer. We no longer support any versions of any browsers which require the prefixed versions, meaning the only statement in the template is a pure statement of  (see  versus phab:T266866). Additionally, the way this is implemented makes it fundamentally incompatible with TemplateStyles. This can trivially be added directly into the pages using this template. Subst and delete. (See similar earlier discussions about these kinds of templates at December 2020 and others there, as well as January 2021.) Izno (talk) 01:29, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Transform
 * Subst and Delete, assuming that the substitution is straightforward everywhere. This TFD was messing up a couple of route diagram templates, so I modified transform-rotate to use the code in this template directly. It was a straightforward fix. This template is now used in about 6,000 pages, but I suspect that the vast majority of the usages are through these 80+ templates, so the replacement work shouldn't be too tedious., have you looked at MirrorH and MirrorV? – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:49, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
