New navbox with no main article and no red links in the body. I looked around for applicable articles and did not find anything useful. Diving (sport)#National championships, for example, does not contain any blue links to articles. British Diving Championships exists, but it, like many articles about swimming and diving at a national level, is basically a stub. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:36, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]


Unused navigation template. If the pages on this need a navbox, they should use Template:Alids. Also, there is no place in navigation template for prose text like this. Gonnym (talk) 11:39, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I was about to add the template to relevant pages in the next few days. The argument of lumping all together into a single template on the Alids is a different discussion, but there is no rule either way, and the Alid rebellions are a significant political and military phenomenon that can easily stand alone in a navbox. There is also no rule against prose text if it serves to give context rather than confuse the reader. Constantine 18:47, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well over 2 months unused does not seem you were about to add it anywhere. Regardless, navboxes are for links and not prose text. Prose text requires citations per WP:V and citations also do not belong in navboxes. Text like Revolt of Mukhtar al-Thaqafi (685–687) which do not link to the revolt but links to the person is also a MOS:EGG link. This navbox while titled "rebellions" seems to only have 2 links of that nature. Gonnym (talk) 19:40, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused style template. Gonnym (talk) 11:32, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: To be honest, I don't really remember why I created that - {{737 MAX series}} looks fine already, and the TemplateStyles are unused. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talkcontribs) 12:06, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused as 2025 Philippine Senate election doesn't use it. If it should be used there than subst it and delete template. Gonnym (talk) 11:30, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Move to draftspace: As of this time, the Philippines' COMELEC has released the initial list of candidates for now, and I am planning to trim down or add names there once the list is final. This template is hidden in 2025 Philippine Senate election for now because there is a warning in the page that once the list is final, this template can be unhidden. Thank you.

Move to draftspace as per WhiteStar2000 or delete for now. We should probably have a final list by January 2025 and by then it should be recreated/moved to mainspace. By that time it would then be used in at least 2 articles, later 3 or more. Howard the Duck (talk) 22:07, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused Conference USA women's basketball standings templates. There are no articles for the seasons so nowhere to place this on. Gonnym (talk) 11:26, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused sidebar. Seems to duplicate Template:WPOCopyright, which itself is barely used. Gonnym (talk) 10:56, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unnecessary wrapper of {{lang}}. We're moving away from specific templates for each language as they require an additional maintenance burden and are less flexible. See similar discussion for lang-?? templates. Replace usages with {{lang|my}} and delete template after. Gonnym (talk) 03:14, 11 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
