| Proposed deletion |
If process guidelines are met, move templates to the appropriate subsection here to prepare to delete. Before deleting a template, ensure that it is not in use on any pages (other than talk pages where eliminating the link would change the meaning of a prior discussion), by checking Special:Whatlinkshere for '(transclusion)'. Consider placing Template:T1 on the template page.
ToolsEdit
There are several tools that can help when implementing TfDs. Some of these are listed below.
- Template linking and transclusion check – Toolforge tool to see which pages are transcluded but not linked from or to a template
- WhatLinksHereSnippets.js – user script that allows for template use to be viewed from the Special:WhatLinksHere page
- AutoWikiBrowser – semi-automatic editor that can replace or modify templates using regular expressions
- Bots – robots editing automatically. All tasks have to be approved before operating. There are currently five bots with general approval to assist with implementing TfD outcomes:
Closing discussionsEdit
The closing procedures are outlined at Bharatpedia:Templates for discussion/Closing instructions.
To reviewEdit
Templates for which each transclusion requires individual attention and analysis before the template is deleted.
To mergeEdit
Templates to be merged into another template.
InfoboxesEdit
- Merge into the singular {{infobox ship}} (currently a redirect):
- Template:Tfdl
- Template:Tfdl
- Template:Tfdl
- Template:Tfdl
- Template:Tfdl
- Template:Tfdl
- I have hacked Module:Infobox ship which implements ship infoboxen without the external wikitable that the above templates require. Uses Module:Infobox;
{{infobox ship begin}}is no longer required; parameter names are changed from sentence- to snake-case; section header height for career, characteristics, service record sections is normalized; custom fields are supported. I chose to retain the individual section templates as subtemplates:{{Infobox ship/image}}{{Infobox ship/career}}{{Infobox ship/characteristic}}{{Infobox ship/class}}{{Infobox ship/service record}}– Module:Infobox ship implements only the 'ship' portion of{{Infobox service record}}
- In the main infobox these subtemplates are called with the
|section<n>=parameters (aliases of|data<n>=).
- I have hacked Module:Infobox ship which implements ship infoboxen without the external wikitable that the above templates require. Uses Module:Infobox;
