Template:WikiProject Chechnya

• Template:WikiProject Chechnya  (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:WikiProject Russia  (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:WikiProject Chechnya with Template:WikiProject Russia.
It's a task force. It's been one for many years. Task forces are not supposed to have their own WikiProject Banner. 48JCL 19:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Merge. This looks relatively easy, at least for a first pass. There are about 300 affected pages, so someone handy with AWB should be able to edit the pages. Ideally, someone should move/rename the relevant categories that are assigned to Chechnya-related articles, but that can happen after the merge. [Update: I have fixed the categories.] – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:31, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:Triángulo de Amor Bizarro

• Template:Triángulo de Amor Bizarro (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Just two links in the body of this navbox. Not useful for navigation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:35, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Delete unless someone creates articles for the band's other albums. I warned the template creator on their talk page four years ago that this template was in danger of deletion as it stands. However, they stopped editing on Wikipedia shortly afterwards, so clearly they have no interest in improving the template. The band do have two other charting albums so there may well be sources out there to create more than two links, but I don't have access to Spanish music publications, so unless someone with access to sources is prepared to take it on, this template should be deleted and recreated without prejudice if further articles are created.

Template:User Riana Welcome

• Template:User Riana Welcome (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions, and no apparent use for probably ten years or more, if it was ever used. Redundant to other welcome messages. The most recent 13 edits have either been maintenance edits or reverts. Note: this is not a userbox. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:1966 Central Conference football standings

• Template:1966 Central Conference football standings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:1966 Pacific Southwest Conference football standings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:1965 Pacific Southwest Conference football standings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No transclusions, documentation, template parameters, or incoming links. The editor who created this template has created dozens of unused templates of this type, including some in the last 24 hours, despite being asked to stop doing so multiple times. These are the oldest ones, created in April 2024. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Keep. All three of these template are now transcluded on two articles. Jonesey95, can you withdraw this nomination? Also, for future reference, can you clarify what sort of documentation or template parameters you would have liked to have seen? Jweiss11 (talk) 18:52, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Withdrawn. In the future, to avoid these nominations, it would be helpful for you to follow the process steps that I recently suggested on your talk page. As for template parameters, they are an indication that the template-space page is being used as an actual template rather than as regular wikitext article content repeated on one or more pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:21, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:1949 Ivy Group football standings

• Template:1949 Ivy Group football standings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:1950 Ivy Group football standings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:1951 Ivy Group football standings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:1952 Ivy Group football standings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:1953 Ivy Group football standings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused templates with no documentation or sourcing, no template parameters, and no incoming links. Created in 2023. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:21, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Delete - Unused and no sourcing. Nosferattus (talk) 16:47, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Cbl62, you may want to take a look at these as you created the analogous Tem``plate:1941 Ivy League football standings and Template:1954 Ivy League football standings. Perhaps these can be sourced and used? Not sure "Ivy Group" is a meaningful term. Jweiss11 (talk) 18:55, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

I've never heard of an "Ivy Group". The sources I've seen from this era refer to the "Ivy League". Cbl62 (talk) 19:00, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:Southern Football League (Victoria) seasons

• Template:Southern Football League (Victoria) seasons (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

All red links. DB1729^talk 11:38, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:North West 200 Circuit

• Template:North West 200 Circuit (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No useful links. The two blue links point to unrelated subjects. DB1729^talk 10:19, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Delete - useless navbox. Nosferattus (talk) 16:42, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:Glass Beach

• Template:Glass Beach (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

For just three links which are already made in multiple places in their respective articles, I don't see much use in this template. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 05:52, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Delete no need for a navbox for only 2 albums. Nosferattus (talk) 16:41, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:Australia squad 2011 World Women's Handball Championship

• Template:Australia squad 2011 World Women's Handball Championship (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Almost all the entries in this template have been deleted, so as a template it is not useful for linking related articles. LibStar (talk) 04:36, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Delete as not enough links but also, a navbox for a team that placed 24th seems strange. Gonnym (talk) 09:14, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Template:Deomyinae

• Template:Deomyinae (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is unnecessary as we can always navigate the taxonomy via the taxonomic infoboxes. And now we have to maintain the taxonomy in 3 different places: the infoboxes, the genus articles (which list the species), and navigation templates like this. Why do we need such redundant systems that just create more work? Nosferattus (talk) 04:07, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

• Keep. This is a standard navbox that is used in many articles. Clearly useful. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:44, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
• Delete is my preference, as I share concerns about keeping redundant information up-to-date across multiple pages. However, I don't understand why this template was singled out over everything else in Category:Mammal species templates and it's subcategories. Many (but not all) mammal species have navboxes. Very few other organisms have navboxes like mammals do. If I was going to single out one mammal species navbox for deletion it would be {{Murinae (Others)}}. The subfamily Murinae is split across 10 navboxes, why not just make one (massive) navbox for the subfamily? And putting two genera in the "Others" navbox is completely unintuitive for readers when the other navboxes are arranged by parts of the alphabet. Plantdrew (talk) 20:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
