  • Delete and consider salting; or replace with an error. This looks to be a placeholder name used by some creation wizard used by the user that created the current target template. The history of the target also suggests that this method was used by the creator of template:Neuroepistemology who unintentionally overwrote the marching band template.

This redirect misleads people. The creation edit summary reads "just so twinkle will still show the right one". However, the discussions at Template talk:New unreviewed article and at WT:TWINKLE cast doubt whether it has ever been used this way. The only known uses are a case where an editor changed an instance of {{As of}} to {{On}} hoping to improve prose, and one where a sock put the preposition "on" in curlies, possibly in jest. These demonstrate that this redirect can cause confusion and make work. It would be best deleted, since redirecting it elsewhere would leave it open to the same kinds of confusion -- "on" is just too common a word. --Stfg (talk) 14:09, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as having no purpose, no understandable target despite the target being a valid page, no obvious rationale as "on" anyway. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:34, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Not used by Twinkle per this test in the AFC sandbox, and has no other valid purpose. jcgoble3 (talk) 19:25, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Basically a nonsense redirect, probably created as a result of some sort of misunderstanding. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:31, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as unlikely synonym.--Lenticel (talk) 00:29, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Go ahead and delete it. I honestly don't remember why I made that. Perhaps Twinkle was using it in some way at the time? Michaelm55 (talk) 16:50, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
