    Template:RDIndex

    No transclusions. This appears to be an experiment (many of the links in the "question" column are broken) that was never completed. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:06, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    The module it uses probably also should be deleted. Used on a dozen pages from 2013 and that's it. Module:RDIndex. Izno (talk) 16:30, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree. If it isn't used anymore, then the data should be subst somehow and then the module deleted. Gonnym (talk) 10:09, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Draftify Give the template a second chance and ask publisher purpose of the template Servite et contribuere (talk) 20:52, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Draftifying a template from over a decade ago is just plain unnecessary. If it were going to be used seriously, it would have been by now. Izno (talk) 22:49, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
    Relisting comment: Tagged and listed the module too.

    Template:Quotient

    Newly created math templates for which I see no actual usage for them. Wikipedia template space isn't a coding language where such things are really needed. Gonnym (talk) 17:18, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    There are other math templates. There's a multiplication template, and an addition template. Also, pretty sure there aren't any templates for exponentation (or at least, not like the other math templates. SeaDragon1 (talk) 17:58, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Temp call

    Newly created template that shows an example of a template call. We already have other templates that do that, including the {{tlx}} family of templates. Gonnym (talk) 17:16, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Delhi–Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System

    Unused route template. Gonnym (talk) 17:13, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Unused sub templates of Template:Deletion process cheat sheet. Couldn't find usages in an insource search. The parent template itself seems to not have been used since its creation 4 year ago. Gonnym (talk) 17:13, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Unused after being removed with this edit. Gonnym (talk) 16:55, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Culture of Åland

    Unused sidebar. Seems Template:Åland topics is used instead. Gonnym (talk) 16:54, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Contao version

    Unused version template. Gonnym (talk) 16:51, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Star Jalsha Shows

    Total of three shows. The rest are non-navigational. CNMall41 (talk) 07:28, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:Singapore National Day Parade

    A sea of red links, nothing to navigate. ✗plicit 06:46, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Template:CoordDec

    We spent a lot of time and effort, back in the day, merging all coordinates templates into {{Coord}}, not least so that users could choose their preferred display format. These little-used templates do nothing that {{Coord}} (1,372,385 transclusions!) cannot do:

    We were told in 2013 that these were essential, but in the intervening 12 years they have barely been used. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:22, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    • Merge as proposed. If the Visual Editor still can't handle a million-transclusion template that has just 15 parameters and good TemplateData documentation, VE needs to be fixed. Let's not let the tail wag the dog. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:14, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      The TemplateData is sufficient to work around the earlier request, but it doesn't really change the fact we've named a parameter 1 rather than what it represents, which is typically a snappy name of some sort or another, which is a usability hit. Izno (talk) 15:55, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
      I would love to ban templates using more than two or three unnamed parameters, especially in combination with named parameters – or worse, named parameters that are aliases of unnamed parameters – but this TFD is not the venue for that decision. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:28, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep Have people tried using {{coord}} with the visual editor? The Template data help is
    Encodes the latitude and longitude coordinates of a location, provides a link to map of the location. This template does not work well with the Visual Editor, consider using {{coordDec}} for signed decimal degrees, {{coordDMS}} when degrees minutes and seconds are specified {{coordDM}} when only degrees and minutes are specified. To use this template you will need to use positional parameter following one of these schemes: {{coord | D | M | S | NS | D | M | S | EW | geo | opts}}, {{coord | D | M | NS | D | M | EW | geo | opts}}, {{coord | D| NS | D| EW | geo | opts}} {{coord | sD | sD | geo | opts}} where D is degrees, M is minutes, S seconds, sD signed decimal degrees, NS is N or S, EW is E or W, opts are named parameter and geo are the coordinate parameters described on the main doc page.
    1 - Either degrees latitude or a signed decimal degrees latitude
    2 - Either: minutes latitude, signed decimal degrees longitude or 'N' or 'S'.
    3 - Either: second latitude, degrees longitude, 'N' or 'S' or GeoHack parameters
    Being very old {{coord}} is a poorly designed template, positional parameters, who's meaning depends the number of parameters, make it prone to errors. These templates provide a user friendly interface to the same underlying system.
    If someone was to work on {{coord}} so it plays nicely with the Visual Editor, say with named parameters, I would happily delete it, but thats not happened in 14 years. --Salix alba (talk): 09:14, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The documentation makes a claim (template does not work well with the Visual Editor) that the actual transclusion usage does not appear to support. 1.3 million transclusions versus less than 200 for the three alternative templates combined. If the documentation needs to be fixed, it is not protected; anyone can improve it. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:31, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The point I was alluding to above is that there is literally no way to fix the documentation to work better with VE. The current version is the best we get. Izno (talk) 17:04, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

    • Merge The people have spoken. Maintaining this weird hack on a tiny fraction of articles to make it possible for the even tinier fraction of editors who use VE on those specific articles to edit coordinates just isn't worth it. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:41, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
