Propose merging Template:Bibleverse, Template:Bibleverse-lb, Template:Bibleverse-nb, Template:Biblesource, Template:Bibleref2, Template:Bibleref2-nb, Template:Bibleref2c and Template:Bibleref2c-nb.
Silly quantity of templates that all provide external links to Bible chapters and verses, but vary ever so slightly on capabilities: one prioritises links to biblegateway.com (unnecessary, seeing as you can already choose translation – there's nothing unique it offers iirc); others create little inline superscript text; some provide wikilinks to the books referenced; and so on.

These templates don't accurately describe their differences in capability in their naming – "ref2" is a holdover from when {{Bibleref}} wasn't a redirect to {{Bibleverse}}. Moreover, there's no need for all of these differing capabilities to be separate templates – {{Bibleverse}} is the most descriptive in its name, and the only one I'd say is needed, if all other capabilities were rolled into it.—Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) ({{ping}} me!) 17:23, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support merging all, as above. – QueenofBithynia (talk) 21:51, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support merging as above and share preference for using {{bibleverse}}, but {{bibleverse-nb}} should also be retained as this omits the name of the book, as in the example given in the template article. BobKilcoyne (talk) 04:05, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Yertis Pavlodar roster

Template:Yertis Pavlodar roster (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Single use template. Substitute and delete. –Aidan721 (talk) 17:18, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Over-coverage

Template:Over-coverage (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:Globalize (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Over-coverage with Template:Globalize.
These seem to say the same thing. Simplifying the choice of templates for such purposes makes life easier for editors and reduces the maintenance overhead. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:28, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree with this merge. – QueenofBithynia (talk) 21:21, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One is about a specific region being over-represented and another is about a global worldview not being represented enough. They are the same thing. Roostery123 (talk) 04:15, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Agree with above. --WriterArtistDC (talk) 15:02, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
