==== [[Module:Naval Vessel Register URL/rules]] ====

* {{Tfd links|Naval Vessel Register URL/rules|module=Module:}}

No longer used after [[Special:Diff/799049703]] [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 20:19, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

 

==== [[Template:Sclass]] ====

* {{Tfd links|Sclass|module=|type=merge}}

* {{Tfd links|Sclass-|module=|type=merge}}

'''Propose merging''' [[Template:Sclass]] with [[Template:Sclass-]] and

[[Template:Sclass2]] with [[Template:Sclass2-]] <br />

:It was intended that {{tlx|sclass-}} and {{tlx|sclass2-}} live short lives; that once all of the ship-class article titles had been properly hyphenated, {{tnull|sclass}} and {{tnull|sclass2}} should be updated to link to hyphenated article titles and {{tnull|sclass-}} and {{tnull|sclass2-}} redirected to {{tnull|sclass}} and {{tnull|sclass2}}. Further, it was intended that the {{tnull|sclass-}} and {{tnull|sclass2-}} redirect transclusions should be replaced with {{tnull|sclass}} and {{tnull|sclass2}} through normal maintenance until the redirects were no longer needed at which point the redirects would be deleted.

* Sclass and Sclass2 only have 1 mainspace usages, which seems to mean that all ship-class article titles have been hyphenated. Per Trappist the monk's response that the intent was for the Sclass- and Sclass2- to be temporarily, I support a two step solution: Change Sclass and Sclass2 code to match the hyphenated versions then replace all usages of the hyphenated versions with the non-hyphenated template name. --[[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 14:45, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

* And now thousands of articles are rendered unreadable by this proposal - these templates are designed to be used inline so you are breaking the articles - please fix this.[[User:Nigel Ish|Nigel Ish]] ([[User talk:Nigel Ish|talk]]) 22:23, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

 

==== [[Template:RFARcasenav]] ====

 

==== [[Template:Loc]] ====

* {{Tfd links|Loc}}

Notice that text from a Library of Congress Country Study is used in an article, which is deprecated in favor of {{tl|Country study}}. While replacement will take significant manual work, the template should be placed in the [[WP:TFDH|holding cell]] so it won't be forgotten and there is a clear consensus in favor for the replacement. --[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 13:29, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

**** Oh yeah, cluttering the search results is a drawback. Otherwise: deprecating certainly does not require TfD red tape, and new users will hardly have a hard time figuring out whether to use a template that says on its page in big red letters "Do not use". As for keeping in sync, or integrating with other templates or modules, why would anyone want to make such improvements to deprecated templates? – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 01:55, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

***** Because when the templates are "deprecated" but still in use, sometimes in over 1k+ of mainspace articles, those templates still need to keep up-to-date with new HTML specifications, MoS updates and other consensus changes. As an example from our /holding cell section see [[Template:Aircraft specifications]] which was deprecated with another similar template for a newer version which was almost the same, but with updates. It was left to rot as deprecated because no one wanted to deal with fixing them, which Trialpears was slowly doing. Also, to answer your question why would anyone use a template that is marked as deprecated? Most just copy/paste from one article to the next and others don't care. [[Template:Wikify]] is still being used in mainspace every now and then. --[[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 09:35, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

 

==== [[Template:Dispute-resolution/medcom]] ====

* {{Tfd links|Dispute-resolution/medcom}}

Unused and deprecated sidebar redundant to {{tl|Dispute-resolution}}. --[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 12:59, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' there is an existing dispute resolution template, this is unused, and I don't see the benefit in retaining this template for historical purposes. --[[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] ([[User talk:Tom (LT)|talk]]) 20:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

 

==== [[Template:Assessed]] ====

* {{Tfd links|Assessed}}

Deprecated talk page banner informing users that the article was assessed for quality a specific week. The problem with this is that no one cares about this, especially since they were all added circa 2006. --[[User:Trialpears|Trialpears]] ([[User talk:Trialpears|talk]]) 12:54, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' definitely delete this. Millions of articles are now assessed; there's no need to note on a template that this happened in a week in 2006, and it certainly adds clutter wherever it is. --[[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] ([[User talk:Tom (LT)|talk]]) 20:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

 

==== [[Template:Add-desc-S]] ====

==== [[Template:AMEX link]] ====

* {{Tfd links|AMEX link}}

Unused version of [[Template:NYSE American]]. [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 11:10, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' unused and superseded. --[[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] ([[User talk:Tom (LT)|talk]]) 20:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

==== [[Template:2014 MAAC men's soccer standings]] ====

* {{Tfd links|2014 MAAC men's soccer standings}}

Unused in the article(s) it can be used, so either the community does not want it or it should be added. It should also be noted that since the bundled nomination a year and a half ago, it's still unused. [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 11:03, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

==== [[Template:Point Cook Football Club]] ====

* {{Tfd links|Point Cook Football Club}}

The template isn't really needed as the club is notable enough. [[User:HawkAussie|HawkAussie]] ([[User talk:HawkAussie|talk]]) 07:58, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' this club really isn't notable enough; the navbox links to another team. --[[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] ([[User talk:Tom (LT)|talk]]) 20:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

==== [[Template:SubTable]] ====

* {{Tfd links|SubTable}}

Unused template with no documentation or clear purpose. <span style="color:#AAA"><small>&#123;{u&#124;</small><span style="border-radius:9em;padding:0 5px;background:#088">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF">'''Sdkb'''</span>]]</span><small>}&#125;</small></span> ^{[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]} 06:53, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

* '''Delete''' per nom. No purpose and unused. --[[User:Tom (LT)|Tom (LT)]] ([[User talk:Tom (LT)|talk]]) 20:51, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
