I propose deleting this obsolete editintro template, which links to Wikipedia:Article wizard/Wizard-New edit instructions B, which is an old name of Wikipedia:Article wizard/version1/Wizard-New edit instructions B, which is part of Wikipedia:Article wizard/version1, which is superseded by Wikipedia:Article wizard, which uses Template:AfC draft editintro (see source code of Wikipedia:Article wizard/CreateDraft). As far as I can tell from searches (one, two), there aren't even outdated places where this template is used as an editintro. —⁠andrybak (talk) 23:59, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

This was oddly recently created with the first edit of a brand new user. Given the involved process of attaining CU permissions, I don't think a boilerplate template has an utility and I don't see it ever getting any use by those who grant such permissions. cyberdog958Talk 20:47, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Template:Use Malaysian English

The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more templates or modules. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the template's talk page or in a deletion review).

The result of the discussion was delete. Izno (talk) 21:53, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

Template:Use Malaysian English was only reluctantly (re)created last year by Jonesey95, with an edit summary "I give up on trying to stem this obviously wanted tide of Use XX English templates. I welcome deletion of this template if a TFD is started." Well, I'd welcome its deletion as well. We have too many "use xxx variant of English" templates, some of which -- like this one -- are doing more harm than good.

Firstly, per Jonesey95's argument at Template talk:English variant templates#Malaysian English template is missing: Malaysian English, as described in the article, should not be used on the English Wikipedia, per MOS:COMMONALITY: "Use a commonly understood word or phrase in preference to one that has a different meaning because of national differences". So Template:Use Malaysian English should not exist. The only differences between British English and Malaysian English described in the article are ones that would create confusion among readers if used without glossing.

Secondly, because Template:Malaysian English doesn't exist (it was deleted in 2013). Talk pages of articles that use Template:Use Malaysian English cannot display the correct language variant in the header (example), and recreation of that template seems counter-productive. Also compare Dgp4004's argument in Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion#Template:Malaysian English. Renerpho (talk) 14:48, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Delete, in case there is any lack of clarity on the template creator's position. I created this template during the great EngvarB debate of 2024–2025. That debate has been resolved, and there is no need for this misleading template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:01, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Delete - largely unnecessary. Malaysian English is not some big variant of English (see Regional accents of English#Overview). harukaamaranth 09:01, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep. Articles look more complete in source view with maintenance templates. It assists with the type of language editors should use. There are currently 371 pages that trasclude this template so it would be massively damaging to delete this template which will simultaneously create broken a link in all of those articles. Qwerty123M (talk) 05:21, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
    User:Qwerty123M that's not how the deletion process works... If a template is deleted it is first moved to the holding cell while all uses are removed. There would be no issues of broken templates in articles... Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 06:05, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

Unused navigation template. If added to all articles it links to during this TfD let me know, and I'll withdraw nomination. Gonnym (talk) 10:02, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

It's currently unused due to the club being in hibernation for the season. There is a chance they will be restored and play again next season. Is it worth deleting only to possibly refund/recreate next season? --SuperJew (talk) 10:24, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
Leftover unused or unmaintained template cause issues. See Template:Western United FC squad which you mentioned below. That template is still in use on John Aloisi. Should it be? If the team has no squad, then this template isn't navigating between anything. If in the future it resumes playing, it can be recreated. Gonnym (talk) 10:32, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
Aloisi's status is more unclear than the players. The players all got a release of contract, while Aloisi was as far as I understood kept on contract. The rumours are that he's searching for a new gig though. --SuperJew (talk) 09:20, 4 November 2025 (UTC)
Would suggest including {{Western United FC squad}} in this discussion too. --SuperJew (talk) 10:25, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

Previous TfD resulted in this being turned into a bottom navigation template. That template was later moved to Template:Pelé with this being left as a redirect. It has now returned to its sidebar template once again. Since there was no deletion review or any discussion linked when restored, this seems like a recreation of previously deleted template (WP:G4). This time it should be deleted, so the page history is lost and can't be reverted again. Gonnym (talk) 09:59, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Comment Template was previously a table used only in the location above, obfuscated behind an unnecessary template. I merged it into there, and if needed elsewhere can do a section transclusion, as the template currently does. I only held off requesting deletion myself in case the template history is needed for for attribution purposes.
