Template:Clarifyref (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages
)
Template:Clarifyref2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages
)

Created and used mainly by a single user to tag references that are not in their preferred format. Misuses Template:Clarify, which is used for requesting clarification of article text. Citation style is not something that needs to be tagged. Dodo bird (talk) 23:13, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Surely the "specify" templates are the wrong basis? They're concerned with missing citations, not incomplete ones. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:35, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Well, a citation too inspecific to tell it from spam or an error isn't much different from an entirely missing one, and it seems a closer match that just generally needing "clarification". A third option is custom code. I would encouraging asking
WT:WPILT for input. — SMcCandlish  Talk⇒ ɖ⊝כ⊙þ Contrib. 13:47, 15 March 2013 (UTC)[reply

  • Delete. If the primary purpose of navboxes is to cross-link existing articles, this template famously fails that basic criteria. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 20:11, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Modelref (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

A couple of dozen transclusions. This promotes linkspam, and many of the links in question are to unreliable or user-generated sources. WP:EL discourages this sort of scattergun external linking. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:02, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

    • You misunderstand. This will be substituted onto the pages that use it. I'm not suggesting that attribution is unneeded here, only that we don't need a template to do it. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 08:35, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's hardly a misunderstanding if you don't tell people that you plan on substing it (we're not mind readers)! Please be clear about your intentions in the future. Switch to delete after substitution. --Izno (talk) 12:52, 19 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was no consensus, although given it's very limited use, I have removed the cascade protection. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 03:06, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Recent changes article requests (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

"Article requests" have nothing to do with the rest of the "recent changes" header. The purpose of recent changes is tracking recent changes, correcting entries, reverting vandalism, ... The purpose of the article requests is to create new articles. The recent changes header is already rather large, removing this line from it would make it a bit more compact by removing clutter. Note also that since July 2012, two articles have been added to the list[1], so it's not intensively being used either. Note: all subpages of this template should be deleted as well, if this one goes.

  • Technically, they're not quite the same. One is used in the case where the wiki page is a substantial copy of a part some external page, and the other in the case where part of the wiki page is a substantial copy of an external page. That said, the currently used templates are those of the bot that's currently doing the copyvios (madman's), but there is no reason to think that CSBot might not need to be revived in the future. — Coren (talk) 01:09, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • I still run VWBot on occasion when MadmanBot goes down (most recently on February 11th), and I use these templates directly. So they have been used since August, just not on a regular continuous basis. VernoWhitney (talk) 01:48, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as is (no action needed) per above discussion -PC-XT+ 11:50, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Likewise keep – I've made user space copies of these and other CSB templates for MadmanBot, but as Coren says there's always a possibility CorenSearchBot will be revived, and if it were not so then the preferable course of action would be to merge my user space copies back into template space.
