Obsolete Reference desk subpages

Unused subpages for creating infrastructure of the Reference desk. Pages were created around 2008 but haven't been in use for a long time – there's been a redesign in 2021, but I haven't checked to see when they actually stopped being used, if ever.

Most of these pages are completely unused. Aside from Wikipedia:Reference desk/header/addnew, the only other few usages remain in old abandoned user sandboxes (User:Froth/refdeskfixedalt, User:Froth/test0, User:Tcncv/nav/aux). Side note: the author of most of these pages—User:Froth—retired from Wikipedia. —⁠andrybak (talk) 19:24, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Wikipedia:Reference desk/header/addnew - actually, it's usage on the archived page can be just removed - it's just a button to post new messages, and it being an archived page it doesn't make sense to encourage new messages. I've crossed out the substitution comment in the nomination above. —⁠andrybak (talk) 13:30, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
