• Oppose - I'm still working on this as a long-term project, and I'm not sure exactly what harm it's doing in its current form.

• Userfy since apparently it's a sandbox version/incomplete. 76.65.128.132 (talk) 07:22, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Userfication is appropriate if it's not currently deployed. I'd also recommend that the navbox styling be removed, as this is more of an illustrative / informational template than a navbox. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 08:49, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Userfy or maybe delete. The reason: the navbox/template/whatever includes at the moment only redlinks and thus I doubt that there will ever some useful transclusions (or say in the next years) - and if it is/will be included in only one article - then it should be substituted! mabdul 13:55, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If the purpose is unclear, then ask. I don't like this process of going through all unused templates and trying to delete them. It's like digging up every unused road, you soon end up with no infrastructure at all. Rich Farmbrough, 11:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Rather "you soon end up only with used infrastructure". Note that as effect of this process I reminded authors about existence of unused templates and stopped certain harmful templates + removal of spam and vandalism Bulwersator (talk) 16:29, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, you'd remove all the little roads that people aren't currently driving along, then you'd sometimes find the big roads that lead to them were empty and eventually you'd have nothing. Rich Farmbrough, 21:15, 16 January 2012 (UTC).[reply]

• Question(s) Has WikiProject Years been notified of this? Do they still use this template when constructing new years? Were they even aware that it existed? And if not, would it be potentially useful to them (for e.g. a "create new year article" preload)? --NYKevin @818, i.e. 18:37, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm not sure if they'd use them, but they were used in a rather nice category heading template. The categories got consolidated, and the template got deleted as unused. Rich Farmbrough, 21:15, 16 January 2012 (UTC).[reply]

these templates were split into 25 year span templates, so there is no need for one that includes all the years, and requires updating lists in more than one template. Frietjes (talk) 00:36, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep the main templates and delete the 25-years intervals. If we have a navbox on those, let's have them grouped in a single template per genre. De728631 (talk) 01:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep All All the templates at Category:Olivier Awards templates are formatted using standard formatting for acting award templates. They are laid out like those at Category:Tony Award templates, Category:Drama Desk Award templates, Category:Screen Actors Guild Award templates, Category:Golden Globe Awards templates, Category:Emmy Awards footer templates, and Category:Academy Award templates. There are dozens and dozens of similarly formated template system that are all in the format like the three above. This discussion should be about a much larger set of templates and should probably be introduced on a couple of project pages. I don't think three should be randomly chosen for this discussion when dozens are formatted the same way.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:44, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • P.S. the standard usage of these template systems is to link the 20- or 25-year interval templates on the subjects articles in order to keep the number of interwiki links on a page down. There is a maximum you know. On some pages if you try to add a template or two with 50 or 100 interwikis each you will get an error message saying the maximum number of links has been exceeded. For the actual award article we use the full template. This is how it has always been for awards even though some of these templates you have nominated are newish compared to the longstanding precedents for awards templates in general.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 15:02, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• comment, since there is a concern that I am including too few, I have added four more, which should be all the unused Olivier award templates. if not, I am happy to add more if that helps. Frietjes (talk) 17:18, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • There are about 15 or 16 different Olivier Award template that fall under this description. Plus there are similar numbers for all the awards I mentioned above and many others. It seems that these were accidentally not transcluded. However, I have added these seven to all of the appropriate pages. They are now all used.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:31, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep All. by now it's a pretty well establlished convention that's useful in reducing clutter and simplifying editing and updates...particularly for newer and less experienced editors. --emerson7 21:50, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • How does having the information in two different templates make it easier for newer and less experienced editors? That would seem confusing if you ask me. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 20:52, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all or rewrite them to transclude the 25-year or 20-year span templates. Having the information in only one template, with only once place to update, will reduce the chances of things getting out of sync, and will reduce the work required to update each year.
