• Template:Infobox LLWSQualifiers-Pre2001 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused template Zackmann08 (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 02:49, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

• Comment: {{Infobox_LLWSQualifiers}} should probably have the same keep/delete fate as this template. It's also unused, and both templates are recommended for use at WikiProject Baseball/Little_League_task_force. The task force page has been inactive for a few years, but here's a ping to taskforce member User:JB82. JB82 is still actively editing, and active on this topic. Alsee (talk) 16:23, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
• Keep: It's less arduous than creating a table (and probably less time-consuming, too). --JB82 (talk) 01:36, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
  • JB82, the template is unused. I pinged you and posted on the Little League wikiproject to see if there was any likelihood it was going to used in the foreseeable future. However looking more closely at the Little League wikiproject, I suddenly realize that it never actually existed. I couldn't find a single instance of dialog in the last 11 years. Out of the handful of edits there, several were bots or people passing through on maintenance tasks. Alsee (talk) 16:33, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
    • Alright, then... --JB82 (talk) 15:20, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Primefac (talk) 17:57, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

• Delete as unused. It's also undocumented, and is not an infobox. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:17, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

These templates (87 in total) are simply wrappers for {{country at games navbox}}. The main template updates automatically, meaning each of these templates are just shells. Another reason is to prevent the unnecessary creation of these templates, as demonstrated by the deletion of 20 similar unused templates. As a note, while I am advocating for deletion of these templates, obviously they should be subst'ed/replaced to keep the information itself on the page (which I'm happy to do).

Per prior consensus we don't need roster boxes for teams that didn't medal in the competition. Frietjes (talk) 14:19, 23 September 2017 (UTC)

• Delete, navbox creep. We don't need a squad template for every team in every competition. That would cause an explosion at the bottom of articles for players with a long career. If someone wants to know who was on which squad, we can put that in the articles. The standard bar for a squad navbox is if it is a championship team for a significant competition.
