• Template:Wikimedia Meta-Wiki redirect (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused template, I see no reason to link from mainspace to Meta-Wiki as Meta-Wiki is a wiki for coordination of Wikimedia projects and would not be useful to most readers, hence the name. We already have a template covered for {{

• Keep - The plain {{
  specialized soft redirect templates are used when redirecting to another wikimedia site. I anticipate this will eventually fall into use somewhere in the mainspace, though its need will indeed be quite rare. With the exception of {{Wiktionary redirect}}, most of the other specialized soft redirect templates only have 5-10ish uses (e.g. see Category:Redirects to Wikisource). — Godsy ^(TALK_CONT) 07:22, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

  • Like I said, I am thinking about how useful this will probably be for readers because this template is intended for main namespace. I completely understand linking from Wikipedia to another content project, that is why I did not nominate the other soft redirect templates for deletion. I can see the "meta" interwiki redirect template as potentially problematic because I do not think readers looking for content on Wikipedia are going to be benefited by soft-redirects to Meta-Wiki. After all, if a reader searches "Wikimedia forum" by chance (which is so extremely unlikely that it would be better to invest our time and resources into creating more useful templates and redirects on the project), the page m:Wikimedia forum is going to provide no help whatsoever to them if they want to learn more about the topic. (In the example I gave, it would probably be better to redirect that title to something more appropriate on-wiki like Wikimedia movement.) Soft redirects to Wikimedia Commons makes sense (I can picture readers searching for "gallery of X images" or "List of images pertaining to Y" on Wikipedia, then we can direct them to Commons), soft redirects to Wikiquote and Wiktionary make sense as well and have use on articles like "X proverbs" and "[insert dictionary word here]", but an interwiki redirect to a non-content project like Meta-Wiki makes little to no sense whatsoever.

• Delete as unused; I cannot think of a single page on meta-wiki that would be useful to a reader of the encyclopedia. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 01:20, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Meta is not user facing and none of the participants in this discussion can think of a single application for this template. From experience giving people a template to make inappropriate links is often seen as endorsing that type of link increase the amount of people adding inappropriate links. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 09:07, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Recentgame (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I am fairly certain that we just don't need this template. Games are not special from a {{current}} perspective and even if they were, they don't have the kind of editing pattern that usually necessitates {{current}}. Izno (talk) 16:49, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Mandattabel start (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Mandattabel slut (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

• Template:Wycliffe Global Alliance participating organizations (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Mostly red links. Fuddle (talk) 03:13, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• remove all the redlinks and the collapsible sections (see here), then reconsider if there are 5 or fewer links left. Frietjes (talk) 16:38, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom and my comments at the last Wycliffe template proposal. Most are redlinks and links are better placed within articles.--Tom (LT) (talk) 07:43, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Rating-10 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

It should probably deleted in favor of {{Rating}} as were deleted {{Rating-4}} and {{Rating-5}}, because {{Rating-10|4}} → {{Rating-10|4}} and {{Rating|4|10}} → {{Rating|4|10}} give the same. Wikisaurus (talk) 18:51, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Subst and delete. I've changed the code for the template to {{Rating|{{{1}}}|10}} (which is equivalent). Subst and delete. --Mdaniels5757 (talk) 16:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
