  • Delete. Our naming conventions have discouraged "railway halt" in favor of "station" or "railway station" in the article title. I think the exception is Thailand. Mackensen (talk) 11:11, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. There are other emoji related templates. On a side note, this one was created by a user who joined to create this and some random shortcuts, renamed their username, blanked their page and seemingly quit. Very odd editing pattern. Gonnym (talk) 10:52, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions or incoming links. Created in 2006. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:13, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was one of the first templates to do that mapping, created in 2006 and fully documented at that time (and the best way). Further templates are more poorly documented, sometimes incomplete. It has been used a lot, but visibly bots have replaced its uses by other templates. If there are no incoming links, it's because it was designed to be "substed". Other templates do not offer that. The reason of its existence was the fact that many browsers at that time did not recognize all X11/CSS3 color names (and there are still some browsers implementing them incoherently). It was made as a simple helper to convert pages and may still be usefu; notably with subst.
Note: NEVER not post notices inside the code transcluded by the template: such notices should be inside the "noinclude" section, without introducing any newlines in the transcluded part. I move your notice to the existing noinclude section. When a template has a do page, you should place it in that doc page instead of modifying the template code! The way you did it broke the template (and all its examples shown on the doc page!). Be careful. verdy_p (talk) 05:23, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If you have an issue with how notices are placed, bring it up at Wikipedia talk:Templates for discussion and WP:Twinkle. Placing the template in a noinclude tag prevents the notice from appearing on transcluding pages, which it's designed to be. Gonnym (talk) 08:23, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Twinkle is wrong here. It cannot arbitrarily place contents in templates (because it beraks the templates). This MUST be done inside their "noinclude" section (usually where the documentation template is inserted), or inside its /doc subpage if there's one; if there's none, a "noinclude" section must be created to place the banner, without adding any newline before or after it (because it also breaks these templates that would transclude this newline, especially here where the template is intended to be used only inline, but as well when these are block templates, to avoid introducing paragraphs, or breaking lists). Don't trust "easy" tools that make things incorrectly, you are still responsible of your edits, even when using such tools, and fix it instantly before applying/saving your changes.
Placing such banner in a "noinclude" section of templates is the appropriate thing; it does not hide the template, the notice is present (and still tracked appropriately in tracking categories). There's no reason to also "spam" the banner everywhere the template may be used, possibly many times (making things worse on pages using it, if the template is substituted as it was documented). There's absoluetly no need to transcude even tracking category in those pages, tracking the template page only is always sufficient: pages referencing such templates are listed by Mediawiki itself (Special:WhatLinksHere in the sidebar).
Also note that this template was designed in 2006, and other labeling templates in its doc page were not existing at that time. And the existing doc was clearly showing that "subst" was fully supported (without being necessarily required: this is not a "subst-only" template, used for example in talk pages for their historic archiving), so such labelling is superfluous. verdy_p (talk) 15:54, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Instead of waging this one-man wall of text war on this page where no one sees it, you could bring up your points in one of the other venues I listed. And yes, placing a notification inside noinclude tags hides it on every place a template is used. Regarding the inline comment, there is an option in the template that doesn't break these templates, but when a template is unused, this really doesn't matter.

  • Delete Unused. Wikipedia is not a repository of ancient code. And I remember engaging in this very same conflict with Verdy p over whether to noinclude TfD tags way back when I first joined in 2016. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:28, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
