WP:TFD/H

This page has a backlog that requires the attention of willing editors.
Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared.

If process guidelines are met, move templates to the appropriate subsection here to prepare to delete. Before deleting a template, ensure that it is not in use on any pages (other than talk pages where eliminating the link would change the meaning of a prior discussion), by checking Special:Whatlinkshere for '(transclusion)'. Consider placing {{Being deleted}} on the template page.

Tools

There are several tools that can help when implementing TfDs. Some of these are listed below.

Template linking and transclusion check - Toolforge tool to see which pages are transcluded but not linked from/to a template
WhatLinksHereSnippets.js - user script that allows for template use to be viewed from the Special:WhatLinksHere page
AutoWikiBrowser – Semi-automatic editor that can replace or modify templates using regular expressions
Bots – Robots editing automatically. All tasks have to be approved before operating. There are currently four bots with general approval to assist with implementing TfD outcomes:
- AnomieBOT - substituting templates via User:AnomieBOT/TFDTemplateSubster
- SporkBot - general TfD implementation run by Plastikspork
- PrimeBOT - general TfD implementation run by Primefac
- BsherrAWBBOT – general TfD implementation run by Bsherr
- PearBOT II – general TfD implementation run by Trialpears

Closing discussions

The closing procedures are outlined at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Closing instructions.

To review

Templates for which each transclusion requires individual attention and analysis before the template is deleted.

Template:Columns2020 December 20 – Columns ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
- Don't delete Template:Column/styles.css as it is not part of this template (and should probably be renamed).
- This is the basic gist. It won't work for columns 6-10 in Columns. The set wherein it won't work is currently 0. --Izno (talk) 07:13, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- I found that sometimes a mix of replacements would be good. See this change as an example. In other news, basically the only cases left to deal with are 2 and 3 columns, as I have sorted everything with more. --Izno (talk) 20:47, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Scratch the news, I just filed phab:T271071. --Izno (talk) 22:29, 3 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Down to article space col4 and lower. I'm working my way down from the top. --Izno (talk) 03:58, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Just 2/3 cols now which is apparently the vast majority of use. Sorted out some regexes so here we go! --Izno (talk) 03:58, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Down to col2. Some 600 in mainspace and another 700 elsewhere. Article, Elsewhere --Izno (talk) 01:18, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  Updating figures - 85 in mainspace and 119 elsewhere done by someone. Gonnym (talk) 15:19, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Hover_title2020 December 19 – Hover_title ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:Tooltip2020 December 19 – Tooltip ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
SMcCandlish What's the status of this one? I feel like you're the person with the best grasp of what needs to be done and if you could implement it that would be lovely. --Trialpears (talk) 16:57, 1 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's been on hold (since no one else is working on it). I think where I got in the sandboxing is about as good as it's going to get. I did solicit further input and analysis, and will have to check again, but I don't think there were further improvement suggestions. I'll probably need to set aside an entire day to pore over it all again and re-test. And that day is not today. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 13:00, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Auto_archiving_notice2021 May 13 – Auto_archiving_notice ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases ) - merge into {{Talk_header}}, replace uses with either that template or {{archives}} as appropriate.
Template:TVQ2021 June 4 – TVQ ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )

To merge

Templates to be merged into another template.

Infoboxes

Template:Infobox_German_railway_vehicle2020 March 18 – Infobox_German_railway_vehicle ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:Infobox_locomotive2020 March 18 – Infobox_locomotive ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Pigsonthewing, a mapping for the params would help for this. I don't know anything about trains, but here's what I've figured out so far:

Param mapping

    mapping = {
        # Header / misc
        'boxtype' => nil, # only support boxtype = 'locomotive'
        'Farbe1' => nil, # color
        'Farbe2' => nil, # color
        'Baureihe' => 'name',
        'Abbildung' => 'image',
        'Name' => 'caption',

        # General
        'Nummerierung' => '', # "Number(s) allocated to the vehicle(s)"
        'Hersteller' => 'builder',
        'Baujahre' => 'builddate',
        'Indienststellung' => 'firstrundate',
        'Ausmusterung' => 'retiredate',
        'Anzahl' => 'totalproduction',
        'Wheel arrangement' => 'whytetype | aarwheels', # ambiguous? which one is it?
        'Achsformel' => '', # same as above
        'Gattung' => '', # some form of class (eg "S 37.19")
        'Spurweite' => 'gauge',
        'Höchstgeschwindigkeit' => 'maxspeed',

        # Wheels (should wheelbase sub-params be used in [[Template:Infobox locomotive]]?)
        'Laufraddurchmesser vorn' => 'leadingdiameter',
        'Laufraddurchmesser hinten' => 'trailingdiameter',
        'Laufraddurchmesser außen' => '', # Outer carrying wheel diameter, Garratt locomotives
        'Laufraddurchmesser innen' => '', # Inner carrying wheel diameter, Garratt locomotives
        'Laufraddurchmesser' => '',
        'Treibraddurchmesser' => 'driverdiameter',

        # Weight, dimensions and Axles
        'Leermasse' => 'locoweight', # "Total weight of vehicle when empty"
        'Dienstmasse' => 'tenderweight',
        'Reibungsmasse' => 'weightondrivers',
        'Radsatzfahrmasse' => 'axleload',
        'Höhe' => 'height',
        'Breite' => 'width',

        # Steam traction / cylinders
        'Zylinderanzahl' => 'cylindercount',
        'Zylinderdurchmesser' => 'cylindersize',
        'Kolbenhub' => '', # "[[Piston stroke]] - I think current template requires this to be <br>'d onto cyclindercount, if so, that should probably be changed in template"
        'Heizrohrlänge' => '', # Heating tube length. totalsurface/tubearea is provided, but this is an area, not a length?
        'Rostfläche' => '', # "Grate area"
        'Strahlungsheizfläche' => '', # "Radiative heating area, Firebox + combustion chamber"
        'Überhitzerfläche' => '', # Superheater area
        'Verdampfungsheizfläche' => '', # Evaporative heating area, Firebox heating area + combustion chamber + heating tubes + smoke tubes (total heating area)

        # Misc
        'Steuerungsart' => 'valvegear',
        'Tenderbauart' => '', # Tender
        'Wasser' => 'watercap',
        'Brennstoff' => 'fueltype + fuelcap', # in practice, may solely be 'fuelcap'
        'Lokbremse' => 'locobrakes',
        'Bremsen' => 'trainbrakes',

        # Undocumented
        'VorneLaufraddurchmesser' => '',
        'HintenLaufraddurchmesser' => '',
        'LängeÜberPuffer' => 'length/over bufferbeams', # ?
        'Kesseldruck' => 'boilerpressure',
        'AnzahlHeizrohre' => '',
        'AnzahlRauchrohre' => '',
        'IndizierteLeistung' => '',
        'HDZylinderdurchmesser' => '',
        'NDZylinderdurchmesser' => ''
    }

A number aren't documented in Infobox Schienenfahrzeug, others I can't figure out the proper mapping. Those would be any empty with '' or with comments left after #. This also isn't a complete list of all params, just a handful I found were common across ~5 transclusions I checked. I imagine a mapping of these should be enough to handle the majority of templates, and rest can be done by hand. Would appreciate a hand filling in the blanks, and checking over the mappings made. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 13:52, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@ProcrastinatingReader: Please see User:Slambo/DE infobox. Does that answer your questions? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:32, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Pigsonthewing, thanks for that! Yes, it fills in most of my list. Some further params didn't match up, so I made some educated guesses. There's a number which need to be added to {{Infobox locomotive}} on that list (ignoring the train infobox for now). Perhaps it's faster to just add the most common ones, as I think a number aren't used. Some adjustments to existing params would help too (eg I've made a request at Template talk:Infobox locomotive for a change to cylindersize).

Besides the ones that need to be added/adjusted, an immediate issue that pops up to me is that the page maps 'Brennstoff' to 'fueltype', but a number of pages use this param as if it were 'fuelcap' instead, e.g. DRG Class 05. Also, is "Wheel arrangement" necessarily always Whyte and never AAR?

Also pinging Slambo, since you have more experience with this template (and can edit it), if you'd be willing to add/adjust those parameters to infobox locomotive? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 19:31, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Template:Infobox_song_contest2021 August 31 – Infobox_song_contest ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:Infobox_Sanremo_Music_Festival2021 August 31 – Infobox_Sanremo_Music_Festival ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )

At this point this is ready for large scale replacement. I said a while ago that I could do it but due to me being quite busy IRL this seems unlikely to get done in a timely manner. If you feel like doing a large scale replacement job feel free to take this one. --Trialpears (talk) 17:34, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Trialpears, what large-scale replacement? I (foolishly?) jumped into this rabbit hole, and have been in it for over a day now. This is a very complex merge; I've got the documentation diff to show fewer differences, but there's still more to be done. – wbm1058 (talk) 15:04, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Clickable_button2021 June 18 – Clickable_button ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:Clickable_button_22021 June 18 – Clickable_button_2 ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )

I made a few changes to Module:Clickable button 2/sandbox that would combine the functionalities of the two different templates. Someone may want to review that. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 23:21, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
MJL, as our resident expert on this module, what in-line changes need to be made to {{clickable button}} calls in order to get them working properly with the module? The /doc examples don't give a clear enough indication of the differences, and to me it looks like they run on the same syntax. (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 11:55, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Primefac: So, my current computer is bricked a la an upgrade to Windows 11. I'll have to get back to you on this until it gets fixed, sorry. –MJL ‐Talk‐^☖ 02:51, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Talk_archive_notice_with_diff2021 September 29 – Talk_archive_notice_with_diff ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:Archive2021 September 29 – Archive ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:Pinnaroo_railway_line_(SA)_RDT2021 November 24 – Pinnaroo_railway_line_(SA)_RDT ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:Pinnaroo_railway_line2021 November 24 – Pinnaroo_railway_line ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:IFIS2022 January 8 – IFIS ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:FIAV2022 January 8 – FIAV ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )

For merging the corresponding files whose names starting with "IFIS..." has to be either renamed to "FIAV..." or uploaded a second time with new FIAV-name. I don't know what is better? Best Regards, --W like wiki ^{good to know} 07:34, 19 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- A rename would probably be better because then there would be redirects (and thus current usage wouldn't need to be totally overhauled). Primefac (talk) 13:08, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To convert

Templates for which the consensus is that they ought to be converted to some other format are put here until the conversion is completed.

Template:Loc2020 October 22 – Loc ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
This one has 572 that match insource:/\{\{loc\}\}/, with no template parameters. Those seem like a straightforward conversion to {{Country study}}. Then the remaining 110ish templates with parameters could be cleaned up separately. Could probably get AWB in bot mode to do the 572. Does that sound like a good idea? Should I try to get a bot flag to help with that? –Novem Linguae (talk) 06:47, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I can get it, just never had the time or inclination to pick apart the various uses. I've set up a tracking category to find the non-parameter uses, so once that populates I should be able to knock it out fairly quick. Primefac (talk) 21:49, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I worked a bit on this a while ago, probably going a bit beyond what is strictly necessary when filling in parameters. It's worth noting that (countarary to the docs) that Kazakhstan and many other countries don't have their own country studies but are combined to something like Kazakstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan or Indian Ocean : five island countries. Also worth noting that these were made between 1988 and 2015 meaning that you may have weird situations with both the Soviet Union and Russia having country studies and there being plenty of other former countries to consider. I've also seen quite a few already broken links. My point being that care should be taken to make sure the links are correct and point to the intended target. --Trialpears (talk) 22:03, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend using standard {{cite encyclopedia}} citations and converting these to footnotes (rather than generic endnotes) as we go. I have pre-made encyclopedia citations for all country studies, plus a page with comparisons using Earwig to the relevant country studies here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Library of Congress Country Studies/Reference fixing. Example edit here. Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:37, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
2020 November 17 – Dashboard.wikiedu.org_assignment ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Converted to a talk page section (see /sandbox), just trying to figure out what to do with the sig/timestamp. Primefac (talk) 23:12, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Main template updated, going to wait for it to percolate through before auto-substing it into a proper/standalone section. Primefac (talk) 20:56, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
2021 September 8 – Articles_on_first-level_administrative_divisions_of_North_American_countries ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:CGNDB_link2021 October 17 – CGNDB_link ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:Malaysian_party_colour2022 January 6 – Malaysian_party_colour ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
Template:Political_party_color2022 January 7 – Political_party_color ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )
- Both of the above need to have their entries added to the module. Hopefully this can be semi-automated by the same process that was used with the /meta templates. --Gonnym (talk) 10:21, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  - Probably not, as these uses (see for example 2005_Pengkalan_Pasir_by-election#Election_results) call an acronym which then triggers the colour to be returned. Each acronym will need to be paired up with the related party, added to the module, and then swapped in the related articles to use (hopefully something other than) {{Malaysian election result}} with the newer values. I haven't looked into it enough to know how much can be automated, but "not much" is my initial read of it. Primefac (talk) 18:33, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Template:Malaysian party colour/name/default and Template:Malaysian party colour/colour/default/sandbox updated and ready. The only party names I left as is were the ones I couldn't find an en.wiki article to confirm spelling, etc. But if others feel differently feel free to add them. The party color should be synced when everything is ready for a bot to help as the calling templates have a "#" in them and Module:Political party also sends them with it. Gonnym (talk) 21:09, 15 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To substitute

Templates for which the consensus is that all instances should be substituted (e.g. the template should be merged with the article or is a wrapper for a preferred template) are put here until the substitutions are completed. After this is done, the template is deleted from template space.

None currently

To orphan

These templates are to be deleted, but may still be in use on some pages. Somebody (it doesn't need to be an administrator, anyone can do it) should fix and/or remove significant usages from pages so that the templates can be deleted. Note that simple references to them from Talk: pages should not be removed. Add on bottom and remove from top of list (oldest is on top).

None currently

Ready for deletion

Templates for which consensus to delete has been reached, and for which orphaning has been completed, can be listed here for an administrator to delete. Remove from this list when an item has been deleted.

None currently
