Except for a demonstration at Template talk:Sfn/Archive 4#Arbitrary break for the obligatory unchewed idea, this is a transclusionless broken template which does not seem to have caught on. I think we can safely <nowiki>...</nowiki> the use and delete the template. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale equally applicable to {{spfref}}.
Since they never got documentation or were tried out in the use cases I intended them for, it's no big surprise they're unused: nobody knows about them. And since I'm rarely active on enWP currently they're unlikely to be fixed in the near term, so… Delete. But note that if I get back to editing here again I'll probably recreate both of them because they addressed a need (cf. the discussion linked above). But with docs and proper testing in that case. :) Xover (talk) 20:06, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Happy with that outcome. I have tagged {{spf}} for WP:G7; are you alright to do the same with {{spfref}}? (And I have no objections to recreation when they work :D). Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:26, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This navbox is 90% redlinks or no links. It is only transcluded on one page (Operation Weak Meat) which is only tangentially related to BRF anyways. Pichpich (talk) 19:35, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This template exists only to help people violate MOS:CURLY: This template surrounds parameter text with two curly quote marks for users who cannot easily type the “curly” characters in place of the "straight" characters.. Update to use straight quotes, then subst, then delete. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 18:05, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I have bundled multiple similar templates into this nomination following this discussion on my talk page (courtesy ping Gonnym). The same deletion rationale applies to all of them. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 19:36, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. As nom said, these go against the MoS which says to use non-curly characters. Gonnym (talk) 20:50, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as creator: None of these should be active in mainspace. They were actually created to see how possible it would be to change MOS:CURLY and theoretically support users into using curly quotes if consensus ever changed on that, but I never advertised them, and so never bothered to add guidance not to use them in mainspace. If you want to enforce MOS:CURLY in userspace or elsewhere, that seems like a different prerogative. If you want to delete them as unused, that’s fine—most of them are probably unused even in userspace.
Just from memory, {{in"}} and {{in'}} were also attempts to create nicely-spacing whole-purpose templates to supplant the need for {{"'}} and similar. I could see those being useful if converted to straight quotes, but that’s still a pretty niche use case. Either way, editors might prefer to delete them, or that I move them to userspace or draft or whatever; none of which would offend me. — HTGS (talk) 23:28, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They all have transclusions, and with the exception of {{L'}}, they are all being used in mainspace. (Click the "transclusions" link.) I am not sure how obfuscating easily-typable characters would be helpful, so I do not think converting them to use straight quotes is helpful. Therefore, I continue to think deletion is the best way forward. Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 23:44, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh wild. I did not know that anyone had used them. You can understand why I wasn’t tracking such a thing. The point of converting in" and in' to straight quotes would be to aide in creating space between " and ', and to include those thin spaces, not to aide in typing the quote characters. The same point does not apply to the other templates. — HTGS (talk) 00:33, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I completely understand why you wouldn't be tracking this sort of thing :)

We have templates for the thin spaces purpose; see Template:Quotation mark templates. I would not object to redirecting the Ls and the Rs to the better-established versions, and I guess we could use some sort of "spanning" template. I think that satisfies everyone's concerns? Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:43, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I might be missing the point, but I don’t think redirecting them (the Ls and Rs) would achieve the right goal? These templates don’t deliver spaces and aren’t expected to. I think deleting and removing them from use is probably the best action, and as I now realise—and as Jonesey has said—these are an attractive nuisance. For the other two (in' and in") would anyone mind if I just moved them to my userspace? I feel like there’s a utility there, but I’d like to fix them first, as the way they work to check included text and then deliver padding (not thinspaces as I had thought) is clunky yet. I would of course remove the active transclusions from use first. — HTGS (talk) 05:42, 10 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That also works for me (including userfying without redirect the two in templates). HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 16:51, 11 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, documentation, or categories. Unclear what this might be for. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:54, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jonesey95, it's supposed to be a soft redirect to the meta wiki, since most will not realize that's where the code is. In this march edit that was removed, making the template useless. I'd suggest restoring the original content and preserving it, but have no strong opinion. Aza24 (talk) 16:12, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense. I'm OK with reverting that edit and keeping the redirect. Withdrawn. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:30, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Considering I don't think anyone has a clue what is going on with the Rugby League European Championship at the moment this temple is pretty redundant. Can always be remade if needed later. Delete. Mn1548 (talk) 17:29, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
