Contains redirects as there are no individual articles for elections in the LPR as it redirects to general Donbas regional election articles. And all links are in the War in Donbas navbox. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:18, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Create a template for the elections in Donbas. Delete the template for the elections in DPR and LPR. PLATEL (talk) 19:35, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You still would have somewhere between three to four links which doesn't the rule of thumb of five links. Thus a navbox wouldn't be needed. The War in Donbas navbox does the job better. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 20:11, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Single-use template. Suggest subst and delete. Izno (talk) 17:27, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think am missing something here. Is this a new policy that a template should be removed despite it being very useful? How else is the complexity of the political parties splitting and reuniting going to be explained? All in words is not a solution. This is too complicated for that. Any other suggestion is welcome. I'm not an active editor anymore. But it pains to see hardword done by me and a few other editors just put off for deletion. I honestly don't see the reason explained here. Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 18:12, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The template may be deleted but the content inside the template would be substed onto the only page which uses it. Izno (talk) 18:49, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
And so, what happens when a new political party arises, which happens all the time in Dravidian politics? In fact, two major splits are not yet included there. Like most pages on South Indian politics, this is waiting for updates. That does not mean the information there is wrong, but just not complete. This page needs an editable version of a tree/network. Please get a South Indian editor to look into this. Please avoid the Anglo-American bias here. The political systems are not the same. And I cannot stress that more. This is just a futile effort to undo someone else's hard work. Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 21:37, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For your references Amma Makkal Munnettra Kazhagam is not mentioned there, as well as the split and remerger of factions [1] in 2016-2017. The options are that we sacrifice comprehension and get rid of the template. Or make the template uneditable and ensure that it always stays outdated. Or the final crazy idea where we leave it as such. What do you think would be the best unbiased option? Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 22:02, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
FYI the substitute page says "will continue to show the old version of the template". How is this editable? Or is that information wrong? Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 00:49, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So what is the alternate for this information? It doesn't load well on mobile seems like the worst excuse to remove content. Back in the day we carried this vandalism. Looks like this is part of the policy now. Wiki San Roze †αLҝ 00:43, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I replied below in a way I hope is clear, but the thing about "difficult to edit on mobile" is an argument (a weak argument) for keeping the template instead of copying its contents into the one article that uses it. Folly Mox (talk) 06:59, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Need at least a dozen links for a category or template to be useful. Especially when you consider episode and character lists don't belong on here, this template is useless. It's useless, regardless.Magical Golden Whip (talk) 19:47, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The widely cited essay WP:NENAN uses five as the lower bound of links to establish usefulness. Discussions at and near the contentious WP:SMALLCAT have repeatedly brought up other lower bounds for categories, but a dozen is a relatively extreme position (my own position is also outside of consensus for navboxes, but in the other direction). No vote; just sayin. Folly Mox (talk) 20:01, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete after substitution in Pharmacokinetics#Metrics Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 17:30, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is really only worthwhile to use this table in Pharmacokinetics. It occurs in 3 other pages Volume of distribution, Biological half-life, and Loading dose under a "Sample values and equations" heading but I think such use is redundant. Subst into Pharmacokinetics and delete. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 21:58, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Mathnerd314159: Could you please elaborate why you think "such use is redundant" with valid reasons? — CrafterNova [ TALK ] [ CONT ] 03:20, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It's not clear to me, after skimming the three "other" articles, why this table in this form is present. Especially unclear is the last column, "Worked example". All the values are hardcoded, and don't relate to specific examples in the articles where the template is transcluded.
    I think this template would make more sense if it came in a shorter format, like a navbox for pharmacokinetics topics, maybe with their units and equations to show interrelationship at a glance, but I don't think the short description in the second column, nor the worked example values in the final column, are parts that need to be transcluded outside the main article.
    That said, I have an opinion opposite consensus on the value of "single-use templates" that sequester off a complicated bit of wikicode well away from article prose, so I won't !vote to delete this. Scare quotes because this template has four transclusions. Folly Mox (talk) 03:23, 1 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Basically, the table doesn't have any connection with the 3 other articles. For example volume of distribution, how does including a table row "infusion rate: Rate of infusion required to balance elimination" improve the article? Infusion rate is mentioned nowhere in the article. In fact many parameters in that table have nothing to do with volume of distribution. Similarly the majority of the table is irrelevant for half life and loading dose. Overall, about the only relevance of the table for these articles is that these metrics appear in the table. But the metrics also appear in the Template:Pharmacology navigation template, which is a much more compact way of listing all the relevant metrics. So that's why it's redundant - the table's main function is a navigation aid, but that duplicates the already-existing navigation template.
Now in the pharmacokinetics article, providing an overview of all of the commonly used parameters makes sense, so that's why I would say to keep it there. Mathnerd314159 (talk) 23:23, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
