September 1

Template:WikiProject Louisiana/doc

Subpage unused since 2011, when this template was turned into a wrapper. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:12, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:MPES

The template is currently unused, apparently not for substitution, and it seems like it won't be used as it's marked as "historical". Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:32, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that it won't see any use in the future, but isn't there a "museum" we could park it into? The evolution of the MPES access is interesting by itself. Urhixidur (talk) 13:01, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see much of a value, really. If it's sourceable, it might belong in some article. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:46, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. If it's notable it belongs in an article. Templates are hidden away so that information will be hidden from most readers. Gonnym (talk) 16:09, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Universal infocard

We have our own way of doing infoboxes here and don't want other wikis' ways foisted upon us. * Pppery * it has begun... 04:18, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Recently revised

Only three uses, all of which are very old -> this is clearly no longer serving a useful purpose. * Pppery * it has begun... 02:47, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Put it into the bot task list for the bot that dates templates, and add a bot task to automatically remove the template after a month -- 67.70.25.175 (talk) 05:58, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and add to WP:TMC. I had no idea this even existed because almost nothing links to it. I think this template would be useful for someone looking for a second opinion while working on a WP:GA nomination. It can also be used for regular edits as well, but I wouldn't recommend obscure page use. The template should also be treated like Template:Under construction "If this template page has not been edited in several days, please remove this template.". In the end... its worth giving this template a chance to be seen before making a judgement about how WP:USEFUL it is. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 17:14, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, I think keep and add to WP:TMC per User:Knowledgekid87. I think the problem here is lack of visibility rather than lack of utility. I could see a case for a bot task notifying applicable WikiProjects whenever the template is newly placed, since "hey I just did a major update on this article everything look ok?" is a type of manual notification I sometimes see in the same context. Also agree with 67 above that User:AnomieBOT should probably remove these after a set time period. Folly Mox (talk) 21:26, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
