• Template:Weren't (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Unnecessary. Just type "wasn't" or "weren't". --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 05:40, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

See {{they were}}. jlwoodwa (talk) 07:00, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Both strings are they same, unlike the template you linked. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 10:56, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

There are three strings, and the last ("weren't") differs from the first two ("wasn't"). This template exists for the same reason as the other pronoun templates. jlwoodwa (talk) 20:20, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

• Delete There's a certain point where it's easier to just manually look up the person's gender and compose your message appropriately rather than using a series of baroque templates. A situation in which one would say that a specific user wasn't something in a discussion seems pretty rare. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:16, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

  What's easiest for you may not be easiest for everyone. If you have no use for this template, simply don't use it. It exists for consistency with the other pronoun templates. jlwoodwa (talk) 16:18, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

• Template:Have (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused. Unnecessary. Just type "has" or "have". --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 05:39, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

See {{they have}}. jlwoodwa (talk) 07:00, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Delete The "have" form only makes sense when preceeded by "they", in which case you might as well use {{they have}}. In any other context, you would say "<username> has foo", even if <username> goes by singular they pronouns. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:16, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
