The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  23:24, 25 March 2024 (UTC) Unused. From what I can gather, this template's only function is to display a download icon where transcluded, but not at the top where topicons go, as implied by the name. DB 1729 talk 13:59, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Template:Growth of solar PV

 * The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. 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 keep for now. I personally agree that if graphs are not making an imminent comeback, it does not make a ton of sense to keep graph templates around. However, the consensus here is to keep this graph on the off chance that they do. My suggestion would be to start a larger discussion about graph templates as a whole, as clearly if they do fix the graph situation any deleted graphs will be immediately restored with no prejudice. Primefac (talk) 12:43, 3 April 2024 (UTC) Unused graph template. Gonnym (talk) 08:36, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Growth of solar PV


 * Keep This is unused because the Graph module is still disabled. If we start deleting all charts using the graph extension, there will be no reason to reactivate it and we will miss an essential tool for data visualization Ita140188 (talk) 09:14, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * It's unused because it was already removed from everywhere it might have been used. Disabled templates are still transcluded and show up as used. Also, the graph isn't coming back. Gonnym (talk) 09:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes it was removed because the graphs are disabled. Graph isn't coming back is not the official position of the WMF, until then I would avoid deleting charts which would be lost forever Ita140188 (talk) 13:35, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * They've basically said they can't fix and don't have resources for it in a recent post. Gonnym (talk) 17:47, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep and add transclusionless to the documentation. It is difficult to know whether mw:Extension:Graph/Plans will go anywhere, but this template has a clear use once there is some way to generate graphs again. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:31, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I very much oppose falsely identifying a template as transclusionless when it isn't. Growth of solar PV may have been used at some point but the someone or a group of editors have decided they don't want it anymore. Gonnym (talk) 17:49, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure that they decided they don't want a "graphs aren't working" notice in the articles that were using this template, so it has been removed temporarily until graphs are fixed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:03, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Other graph templates haven't been removed and keep the ugly notice. As it stands this template was removed and the graph isn't coming back in any foreseeable future according to the ticket comments. Gonnym (talk) 18:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was delete. ✗ plicit  13:20, 25 March 2024 (UTC) The only content is the documentation of another template and thus it should be deleted. Noah, AATalk 12:10, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Winter storm bar gap

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  13:07, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @Hurricane Noah it's used in Template:2020–21 North American winter buttons and Template:2021–22 North American winter buttons. Not sure if it is really needed, but that is a different issue to what your argument was. Gonnym (talk) 19:52, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I missed what it did the first time around, . I still don't think a whole separate template is needed just to insert the   break. Noah, AATalk 21:03, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete it is literally just adding  , this doesn't need a template for it, as it's 8 characters. <b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b><b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 14:07, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
 * delete, no longer functional after changes to the parent template. we could make it work, but the gaps are not needed and inhibit auto formatting that happens when you use browsers with differing screen width. Frietjes (talk) 16:01, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Keep. obviously the template is used in hundreds of articles, so either this is nonsense or it is vandalism. But surely the comment direct in front of me is clearly wrong. Besides, The content of the template speaks for itself. ist no reason for deleting sth. at all. --Matthiasb (talk) 16:29, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
 * This template is used within 256 other templates and those are transcluded to the hundreds of articles you mention. It serves absolutely no purpose anymore since its only content is within the noinclude tags which means it does absolutely nothing. It appears to have been made obsolete back in 2023. <b style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200">Noah</b>, AA<b style="color:#ff0000">Talk</b> 16:43, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

The result of the discussion was speedy delete per author request. ✗ plicit  11:19, 18 March 2024 (UTC) Unnecessary template that clutters up pages, and is also misleading, because the templates linked aren't specific to 2024 squads. We have separate templates for all 5 teams, we don't need a combined template, as this means that every article has 5 templates linked on it instead of the 1 that is needed in most cases. All the articles currently using this template are already linked by 2024 Women's Premier League (cricket) which is a better template. <b style="color:#0033ab">Joseph</b><b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 09:15, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
