The result of the discussion was delete after we are completely sure that the module has been orphaned Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 15:48, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced by require('strict'). My understanding (from the talk page) is that User:Legoktm and User:WOSlinker have already done a number of replacements. It will take some time for the job queue to process these and reveal how much usage is left, but we might as well discuss deletion/deprecation now. User:GKFXtalk 22:20, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wait - I don't think we should do anything yet. I already marked the module as deprecated, there's no one contesting that (AFAIS). I think it would be better to discuss this in a month or so once the job queue has actually finished. I assume it'll get deleted at that point. Legoktm (talk) 03:36, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Legoktm: Can we not just deprecate this one and just categorise its usage for some time. Just in case someone reverts a module to three versions back, it will just break, if this is deleted. Someone might come back from inactivity and not know the new feature. Also, this module has been imported/copied to at least 200+ other Wikipedias and possibly other projects too, as it used to be a major component of most modules. I think it needs to be kept for attribution purposes? —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 07:20, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You could probably say that about a number of templates that get deleted. They might well have been copied over to other Wikipedias, but it doesn't stop them being deleted here. You could always put the original authors names in the deletion note if you wanted to as well so that it is still visible. -- WOSlinker (talk) 09:33, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
My knowledge of copyright is extremely limited, if established TfD editors think that it wouldn't cause issues, then I'm perfectly fine. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 17:13, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@CX Zoom: I don't understand, how is it not already deprecated? In any case, Pppery's plan sounds good. Legoktm (talk) 17:25, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It is well established at TfD that preserving old revisions is very rarely valid reason to keep a template or module. While I top would have waited for the job queue to process all of the uses, since we're here the template can sit in the holding cell while that happens. The English Wikipedia is not a template repository and should not care about what other projects to. Delete * Pppery * it has begun... 17:24, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, agree with Pppery on timeline and implementation. --Izno (talk) 22:09, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Articles about the presidency of Ukraine. Normally the only navboxes we have for such a position is the presidents navbox listing all those who have served as president of the country. We don't have a need to list articles about every little thing we have related to the concept or the topic of the presidency. It's best to link them on related articles. Such as the elections, inauguration, agencies/departments of the government, and so forth. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 18:02, 22 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 19:47, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Those navboxes you cite are specific to a certain subject. They are packed with relevant articles because they are related to the scope of the navbox. So no, your rationale is wrong and just false when you say "similar navboxes exist across the entire Wiki." They don't. This is the only such navbox of its kind that just adds links about a broad subject that's better off being in other navboxes. All election links are covered by Template:Ukrainian elections. All presidents are covered by Template:Presidents of Ukraine. And the vast majority of the links are covered by other navboxes for specific topics. This has become redundant. And linking them on related articles still works as well. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:27, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and did some cleanup so it should look better, this template should be about the Presidency of Ukraine as a whole. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:51, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Nimravidae with Template:Feliformia.
Not large enough for a standalone navbox, and would be better off being merged into the Feliformia navbox. Magnatyrannus (talk | contribs) 17:58, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, Nimravidae is enough for a perfectly serviceable navbox on its own. SilverTiger12 (talk) 18:24, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I've done this template to navigate around the already existing ones, not to merge them with it... If they were to be merged, the best solution would be to create a new collapsed section for Nimravids, which would pretty much negate the interest of the merging... Larrayal (talk) 19:51, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, I see nothing wrong with it. "It's small" isn't exactly a compelling argument.--Gen. Quon[Talk] 19:42, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Song ratings and Template:Single ratings with Template:Album ratings.
Aside from some minor visual differences (text alignment, text size, etc.), I'm not sure I see the difference between these two templates or any reason for them to be separate. Both use the same code (stated explicitly at Template_talk:Song_ratings#Just created this template), both have a default title of "Professional ratings" which can apply to any release without issue, and it appears that song ratings only appears on a few dozen pages compared to album ratings' thousands. Perhaps renaming album ratings to something more general like "music ratings" would help eliminate potential confusion. I think that's a much better solution than just having two separate templates that accomplish the exact same task. QuietHere (talk) 06:18, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
