This editnotice is not needed anymore now that the linked "Recent changes article requests" page has been deleted. OutsideNormality (talk) 23:37, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – I don't understand why this existed in the first place, but it's definitely pointless now. jlwoodwa (talk) 22:40, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Uw-llmtalk with Template:Uw-aitalk1.
Template:uw-llmtalk seems redundant, since the multi-level warning series says pretty much the same thing. I propose that uw-llmtalk be redirected to uw-aitalk1. 137a (talk • edits) 23:20, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nominator's rationale. Dandykong1 (talk) 23:28, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No objection from me, as the creator. When I made the llmtalk template the multi-level version didn't exist; now that it does, it makes sense to merge. GorillaWarfare (she/her • talk) 23:38, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This navbox will essentially never be completed (and it shouldn't have been created). There's five existing articles: two state-specific MUTCD, one that is list to signage in Puerto Rico, one that is a list to signage in the US, and the federal MUTCD. The same list is explicitly mentioned in Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices#Adoption and serves the same purpose of the navbox. – The Grid (talk) 22:59, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Navbox with only 2 different links, none of which are for the actual episode that won the award. Unhelpful for navigation. WP:NENAN. Οἶδα (talk) 20:13, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was snow keep. I'm withdrawing this as the nominator as there's a much, much clearer consensus now compared to last year's nomination.(non-admin closure) FaviFake (talk) 20:43, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The various protection-specific edit-request wrappers should be redirected to {{Edit protected}}. These wrappers once served to work around the absence of automatic detection of protection-level, but that limitation no longer applies and keeping them distinct actually makes the situation worse.

They are already functionally merged (they all call the same module), but not redirecting them creates avoidable errors. Editors assume that transcluding a specific wrapper guarantees the banner for the level they chose ("If i choose {{FPER}}, the template will always create a fully-protected edit request" → wrong!), but they're often unaware that their "choice" is always disregarded (such as when the page has a different protection level, or when the requested page is specified only in comments). In other words, using {{TPER}} or {{FPER}} or {{SPER}} outputs the same exact result, regardless of which is used.

This can mislead responders, cause unnecessary back-and-forth, and involve users who did not need to be drawn in. If these wrappers were redirects, editors would be aware that they all work exactly the same. I described a situation in which this mess of identical wrappers caused 2 more people to needlessly waste their time.

A single wrapper would be clearer and much less likely to be accidentally misused. To the best of my knowledge, no features would be lost if they were all simply redirected right now. FaviFake (talk) 18:07, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This barely used template is a simple link that creates an MOS:EGG link. This should be replaced in article with a full link and not one that displays only the number as the link. Gonnym (talk) 16:34, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete – this is used in citations, and I disagree that it's a MOS:EGG violation in that context. It's similar to what {{cite book}} does with |chapter-url=: the link text doesn't include the name of the overall work, it just identifies the portion being linked to. Similar citations in these articles are formatted the same way (e.g. "Thucydides, 2.65"), whether or not a template is involved. But this template doesn't actually work, since s:Athenian Constitution doesn't have any anchors with numbers alone; I also find it strange that it doesn't produce the whole citation. jlwoodwa (talk) 01:01, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2.65 is also an egg link. It does not in fact link to 2.65. Gonnym (talk) 08:32, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This overly complicated barely used template should just be replaced with direct image links. Unless I'm missing something here which this template does. Gonnym (talk) 16:23, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete – as far as I can tell, the purpose of this template is to get the lead image from another article, and to automatically update whenever that article's image is changed. I could see this being useful in some circumstances, but it breaks unpredictably if there's a filename-looking thing in a hidden comment or if the article at the given title is replaced (e.g. with a disambiguation page), is likely to confuse editors who want to change the image, and allows for something similar to template vandalism. jlwoodwa (talk) 00:39, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Way too complicated. Just use a regular file link. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:35, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This sidebar is duplicative of Template:Mark Carney. We just don't use sidebars for Canadian political leaders, see Category:Canada political leader sidebar templates. This will never be properly transcluded, and thus serves no purpose to our readers: it only has two transclusions, and we most decidedly do not want it elsewhere. Having this around will only serve to cause trouble. MediaKyle (talk) 13:18, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Custom formatting for {{Graph:Chart}}, which needs to be converted to use {{Chart}}. Should be easy enough to use GraphBot (talk · contribs) via {{PortGraph}} to accomplish this. BlasterOfHouses (HouseBlaster's alt • talk • he/they) 00:12, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
