Template:Infobox college basketball tournament (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Infobox NCAA Division II basketball tournament with Template:Infobox college basketball tournament.
This wrapper looks like it's trying to give the functionality of Template:Infobox college basketball tournament, but doesn't do so very successfully, and I think it's probably best to merge anything needed from this wrapper into the more polished template with more than five times the transclusions. fuzzy510 (talk) 22:24, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:I Ching (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Single-article content with no template parameters. This is a straightforward table that should be substed into its article. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:17, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Lua hello world (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is some sort of test template created in 2013 and apparently never documented. It is used in two test transclusions in sandboxes, where it could easily be invoked directly, per the minimal explanation at Module:Example. There are no links to it from any discussion pages or other non-report pages. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:08, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Lrwhitearrow (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused, and if someone really wants it I think they could just as easily add it in to {{arrow}} (which would also allow for easier remembering). Primefac (talk) 12:44, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Pfeil (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Arrow2 with Template:Pfeil.
Two templates that do almost exactly the same thing, with almost exactly the same syntax, though {{pfeil}} has more options. Primefac (talk) 12:43, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No objection as long as all options are preserved. Useddenim (talk) 12:46, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The merge target should be {{Arrow2}}, in case that is unclear from the nomination. Let's not have German-language template names on en.WP. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:00, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to {{arrow2}} -- clearly WP:Use English to name functional templates. wikt:en:Pfeil#German English Wikipedia is not the German Wikipedia, and unintelligible template names are useless; Delete the resulting redirect from {{pfeil}} as WP:RLOTE -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 01:17, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with {{Archive bottom}} (or something similar). A useful template but barely used (~10 times) and highly redundant to many alternatives Aza24 (talk) 12:14, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge, or Redirect to {{Div col end}} instead. {{Discussion-Closed-End}} contains a simple </div> tag, identical to Template:Div col end. Other templates have been redirected there for the same reason. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:34, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Greco-BuddhistChronology (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I am genuinely not sure what to do about this navbox, as it breaks most of our conventions about navboxes (and is actually just a table). I was going to turn it into a column navbox without the images, but without the images I am not sure it will have the same usefulness (since most of it will just be unlinked phrases). Should this be kept as is, modified, or deleted outright? I note there are only three uses. Primefac (talk) 07:53, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – a cool idea, but a little random in navigational choices and such. Not really the right type of information for a navbox I think. Aza24 (talk) 12:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
