Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/External link templates[edit]

Unused, and largely superceded by Category:Video game external link templates. Izno (talk) 15:45, 24 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as category doesn't offer usage information. Having all the usage information in one place is extremely helpful. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:06, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't realize it was transcluded. I would support substing it to its VG transclusion and probably removing it from its use on WP:Games/Templates (what is it doing there?). --Izno (talk) 20:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Not that it's transcluded, but that the page explains how to use all the different templates, and has that information all in one spot. That's what makes it useful. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 02:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm aware, but it's not actually used except for its transclusions (it doesn't even break the once-a-day barest of minimums!). And it definitely isn't up-to-date. Where it is used, it should be substed and then deleted. --Izno (talk) 05:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Just because it's not visited all that often doesn't mean it's not used at all. Reference pages like this don't need to be visited that often, and there is no minimum daily requirement for daily visits, especially for project space pages. As for the page being out of date, that's not a valid reason for deletion; instead, simply update the page. Again, there is no valid reason to delete, and there is at least one very good reason to keep. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 02:25, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't agree whatsoever. That said, it really doesn't serve a purpose which isn't reflected on the two pages it is transcluded. Is there some reason for which you would not agree to a subst and redirect [to the vg page])? --Izno (talk) 15:41, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Perfectly reasonable reference page. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 00:58, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
