Unused, not edited in 10 years except for cleanup edits. It's better not to have unused templates that need to be cleaned up periodically. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:30, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was keep. Withdrawn after the purpose of the template was clarified. Pppery expressed an interest in renaming the template but that doesn't require a TfD to discuss. (non-admin closure) User:GKFXtalk 09:47, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

After talking to the template author, it seems that this template was created in the belief that ((pipe)) doesn’t work. ((pipe)) does work as discussed at that link and so this can be deleted. It’s also a hard-to-type name for for many (most?) users. User:GKFXtalk 21:29, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That is a blatant mis-characterization. There have been periods in the past (when ((pipe)) had been redirected to ((!)) ) that it did behave as I described, so I stopped using it. The "hard to type" argument is dangerously close to WP:IDL; however, if GKFX can suggest an alternative simple way to insert the unicode character │ I'd like to know it.

Inserting ((source?)) into another editor's comment is not a good idea. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Fine; GKFX's claim that It’s also a hard-to-type name for for many (most?) users is baseless and unsubstantiated, and must therefore be treated as a straw man argument. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 04:12, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
There are long Q&A threads of people discussing the matter. Many keyboards do not have a key for it. It's nothing to do with whether I like it. User:GKFXtalk 07:07, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That thread is not particularly long, and is a decade old. If Pppery can dismiss something 13 years distant, why is your example any more relevant? AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:21, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Pppery: The template appears to be unused because I always ((subst:)) it so that the Unicode character is inserted. And as I alluded to above, I'd be happy to support deletion IF you can show me a just-as-easy-to-use alternative for inserting the unicode character. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 04:12, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Add it to your special characters tray with a user script? (The one under the editing textarea). User:V111P/js/Simple_Keyboard_Layout_Changer might also be helpful, although I haven't tried it. User:GKFXtalk 07:07, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're just guessing. SKLC is convoluted, not fully developed, and has drawbacks — hardly an easy replacement for a simple template. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:21, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also, please not the difference in height between the two characters: E|E│E; the Unicode line is taller and whitespaced. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 04:27, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
So, you are adding the │ character for some reason other than not being willing to code a template that produces a pipe that is never treated as a template parameter? This appears to contradict the claim you made on your talk page in January since, if it was true, the behavior of ((pipe)) would be irrelevant. * Pppery * it has begun... 11:45, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop|Station 
Stop│Station
The "some other reason" is stylistic. Is that a problem? Take a look at the Example to the right (which is how I employ it most often): much better visual separation with the box-drawing character. And again what was said is being mischaracterized. I wrote that if  [((pipe))] is subst'd (and possibly … deeply-nested … – which was true at one point. AlgaeGraphix (talk) 13:21, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The "at one point" is in 2008, which long enough ago to have no bearing on what decisions to make in 2021. * Pppery * it has begun... 13:53, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Every single page in this template link back to the SAME EXACT article. You aren't even supposed to link to the same article twice in a given navbox so this template is 100% completely unnecessary and serves no purpose whatsoever. AEWFanboytalk 19:06, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
