 * Delete all the articles are redlinks, and I wouldn't expect any of those articles to be created. We only create those group/knockout stage articles for major competitions like the Euros/AFCON and the FIFA World Cups, not for the Olympics, which is a minor tournament in comparison (especially for men, where it's an under-23s tournament).

 * Auto compact TOC
 * Compact TOC

Should we implement the idea of this little-used template into the standard Compact TOC? Compact TOC currently allows for the omission of letters by requiring each letter to be removed individually with parameters, which will inevitably lead to a TOC in an article becoming outdated as the article is altered but the template is not. Automatically omitting unused letters could make navigation clearer, while still allowing for alterations and overide through Compact TOC's other functions. MClay1 (talk) 09:48, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
