Using plaintext is more accessible than using images, because it is easily readable by screen readers. Plaintext is also easier to copy/paste and is more readable wikitext. Delete after converting its sole use to plaintext. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:48, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The plain text should probably be wrapped with either {{lang}} or a sub template of {{script}}. Gonnym (talk) 17:11, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant sidebar-type template as the navbox Template:Opinion polling for United Kingdom elections is better served for navigation to articles about polls for UK elections. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:50, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Obtrusive template which does not help to navigate articles on national UK elections. Better left to templates. Nothing more than a sidebar taking up space. For instance, on the 1802 United Kingdom general election article it appears next to the election infobox but in the middle in the top part of the article. And it appears like that for many articles. Navigation for election articles is best left for templates like navboxes. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:46, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused HTML character conversion template. Gonnym (talk) 06:35, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused citation template (except in one old talk comment). Citation templates should be created and used when there is a large amount of articles that repeat the same citation. Gonnym (talk) 06:32, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
