Template:Official (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

No reason to use a template for something like this. The link text is unlikely to ever be changed. External link templates are only useful for sites that may change their link format (e.g., YouTube) while still maintaining the same identifiers. --- RockMFR 23:28, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. While the link is unlikely to change, the template provides a standard format for labeling links to official websites. In that regard, it's useful for consistency across the project. —C.Fred (talk) 23:33, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per C.Fred. Dfsghjkgfhdg (talk) 00:06, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep convenient short cut to having to type "Official website" every time (albeit a very minor one). Also it serves to standardize the way official sites are linked to. --ThaddeusB (talk) 01:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Using templates like these provides consistent formatting across all articles. BOVINEBOY2008 03:16, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Per others, this provides a standard and a easy way to format the addresses and text. Peachey88 ^{(Talk Page · Contribs)} 03:54, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Japanese track list (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template was created a short while before the more standard {{Tracklist}}, and would not have been proposed had {{Tracklist}} existed at the time. All of the instances of the template in articles have been updated to use {{Tracklist}} instead. Based on WP:TFD#Reasons to delete a template points 2 and 3, I think it should be deleted, and the template's creator User:Ned Scott has also agreed. 十八 21:32, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom - not sure it qualifies under point 3, but the other reasons more than make up for that. 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 21:34, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Chronology of 2009 swine flu cases in the Philippines (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Almost same case with Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2009_July_30#Template:2009_flu_pandemic_table_in_Thailand. If we need something like this we can just put it in the article. Moreover, I have serious doubts if we need to record cases day by day. Magioladitis (talk) 21:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete after substitution. Single use template that fits only one article. Agreed on the lack of a need for a day by day update (how long is this going to be tracked?). Monthly would be better, or at the very least, weekly until that becomes too long. Reso lute 14:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was delete as now redundant to {{top icon}} Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 08:41, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Header image (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template should probably be deprecated in favor of the more widely used {{top icon}} template. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 20:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you only want it deprecated, why not mark it with {{tdeprecated}}, migrate all usages, and then redirect? 「ダイノガイ千？！」^{? · Talk⇒Dinoguy1000} 21:33, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I think the indenting/offsets work differently... perhaps a merge of the coding is in order. 76.66.192.144 (talk) 07:41, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I made the template at {{Header image}} before the new template existed. The {{top icon}} template seems a bit more robust and I have no issues with deprecating in its favor assuming variable width indents are supported with the new template. I would suggest making the Header image template a redirect or transclusion and replacing its use in {{header image set}} as well. I think this can move forward as I am the only user of the template. Adam McCormick (talk) 06:10, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I will move both back to your userspace in case there is something to merge. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 08:41, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
