Template:Davis-Salt Lake Community Connector
- Template:Davis-Salt Lake Community Connector (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
No transclusions, no incoming links to explain why it was created, and no main article. This bus route isn't expected to exist for at least three years. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:45, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Neurodiversity
- Template:Neurodiversity (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Autism rights movement (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Neurodiversity with Template:Autism rights movement.
There is strong overlap between the two. I believe that there are two obvious choices:
A) Merge Autism rights movement into Neurodiversity.
B) Refocus Autism rights movement to be about the Autism rights movement and not the Neurodiversity paradigm. Jerod Lycett (talk) 05:31, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Comment{{Neurodiversity}} was just created and has far too many red links to be a usable sidebar. It is unclear what its focus is supposed to be. Meanwhile, {{Autism rights movement}} had its main article changed in 2023 to link to Neurodiversity instead of to Autistic rights movement, with no discussion on the template's talk page. It is unclear why this was done. – Jonesey95 (talk) 22:36, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Yeah, that's what I was thinking with B. If B is chosen then editing it to fix that would work. Jerod Lycett (talk) 22:43, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2026_May_31#Template:Candidate_MEP_lists_GL: On pages such as List of candidates in the 2024 European Parliament election in the Netherlands, there are already templates that link to the articles included in this article ({{MEP lists Netherlands}}, {{European Parliament, (Netherlands)}} and {{Candidate lists in elections in the Netherlands}}. The nominated template makes the page chaotic, in particular in the app where it is harder to see what is a table and what a sidebar. This obviously also applies to the same templates for other parties. Dajasj (talk) 10:10, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:MEP lists Netherlands
There is already Template:European Parliament, (Netherlands), which has the same goal but on the bottom of the article Dajasj (talk) 10:40, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Hungarian conflicts
Per WP:NAVBOX, this template is way too busy. Most articles within it do not relate to a single, coherent subject. The subject of the template seems to be not a country but an ethnic group, which doesn't really usually wage wars and battles as a whole, so the scope is too vague. The articles most often do not refer to each other, because the time span is huge. Nobody in their right mind would be inclined to link many of these articles in See also. I don't see the point in this bottom of the article spam especially as the List of wars involving Hungary already exists. --Joy (talk) 10:55, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Czech wars and conflicts
Per WP:NAVBOX, this template is way too busy. Most articles within it do not relate to a single, coherent subject. The subject of the template seems to be not a country but an ethnic group, which doesn't really usually wage wars and battles as a whole, so the scope is too vague.

Also, people already complained about this weirdness in 2009 and 2012 on Template talk. --Joy (talk) 11:00, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Ottoman battles
- Template:Ottoman battles (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Per WP:NAVBOX, this template is way too busy. Most articles within it do not relate to a single, coherent subject. The subject of the template seems to be not a country but an empire, which seems vaguely coherent, but when we see the time span, the scope is too vague and wide. (There's a separate template for the same empire 20th century already - {{Ottoman battles in the 20th century}}.) The articles most often do not refer to each other, because the time span is huge. Nobody in their right mind would be inclined to link many of these articles in See also. I don't see the point in this bottom of the article spam especially as the List of battles involving the Ottoman Empire already exists. There's also occasional overlap with {{Major Ottoman sieges}} as well as with campaignbox navigation templates. --Joy (talk) 11:08, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Armed conflicts involving the United States Armed Forces
- Template:Armed conflicts involving the United States Armed Forces (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Per WP:NAVBOX, this template is way too busy. Most articles within it do not relate to a single, coherent subject. The subject of the template seems to be a single country, which seems vaguely coherent, but when we see the time span, the scope is too vague and wide.

I don't see the point in this bottom of the article spam especially as the Lists of wars involving the United States already exists (notice plural lists!). There's also occasional overlap with campaignbox navigation templates. There's numerous comments on the Template talk indicating a lack of direction. --Joy (talk) 11:13, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Infobox library/wikidata
This sub-template is barely used with only 28 article uses at the moment. It is also not being maintained to the level that {{Infobox library}} is. I see little value is a second sub-template just to pull a few values from Wikidata that are unlikely ever to change. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:45, 14 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Infobox theatre/wikidata
As {{Infobox theatre}} just redirect to {{Infobox venue}}, this should be deprecated and removed in favor of using that Infobox. The few data points imported from Wikidata can be manually ported over. Should be noted that a preview of this template is FULL of errors. I will also note the only value ever really likely to change on the 26 pages using this is the website and {{Official website}} is already setup to pull that from Wikidata. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:03, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Merge to {{Infobox venue}}. The transclusions will have to changed one-by-one to preserve the existing data by adding parameters and values. Some transclusions should not be changed to use the new target, such as Neo-Futurists, which is about a theater troupe rather than a venue (I have fixed this one). Other transclusions, like The Modern Theatre Is the Epic Theatre, might need an entirely different infobox, or no infobox at all. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:25, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Replace and delete. Replace with {{Infobox venue}} (without merge) and then delete template (without leaving redirect). Since these are only 33 pages, any new parameter should be requested at the talk page and see if it is actually needed. Gonnym (talk) 08:25, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:2026 AVC Men's Volleyball Cup pool tables
- Template:2026 AVC Men's Volleyball Cup pool tables (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Single-use article content. 2026 AVC Men's Volleyball Cup is over, so this table is stable. Copy-paste this into the article and delete the template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:32, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Keep: as the template is now trancluded in three articles. ꕥ 𝙳.𝟷𝟾𝚝𝚑 ꕥ →𝙼𝚎𝚜𝚜𝚊𝚐𝚎 𝚖𝚎← 00:02, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
- delete after merging Pool A with 2026 AVC Men's Volleyball Cup Pool A, merging Pool B with 2026 AVC Men's Volleyball Cup Pool B and using WP:LST in 2026 AVC Men's Volleyball Cup. Frietjes (talk) 14:58, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Infobox Egyptian tomb
Suggesting replacing with {{Infobox historic site}}. Very low use count here and I would argue that every Egyptian tomb is a historic site. The only things lost don't (IMHO) meet MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE anyway. Notably a description of the layout of the tomb and the tomb decoration. Put that in the body of the article, not the Infobox. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 05:41, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- I propose deleting Template:Infobox Egyptian tomb as that infobox is no longer being used or being used less in any English, and would concur with the use of Template:Infobox historic site in its place. Xander Wu (talk) 12:20, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Xander Wu The Infobox still is very much being used... Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 15:22, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Keep almost 300 pages use this infobox so not what I would call a
"Very low use count"
, this infobox template also has several features and parameters that cannot be replaced or replicated by Infobox historic site such as a header showing who the tomb was for, and links for the next and previous tomb in a series. I would also argue that the layout and tomb decoration do meet MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE as they do not require much explanation. - I may be in favor, however, of a broadening of Infobox Egyptian tomb into simply Infobox tomb as it could still function properly if used for tombs outside of Egypt.

Template:Aquatics at the 2016 Summer Olympics
No consensus to merge template into all disciplines. See similar discussion Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 17:18, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Procedural close: First of all, this template was moved from {{Swimming at the 2016 Summer Olympics}}, where it was valid and useful. It is unclear why this TFD was filed after this relevant discussion was started. It would be better to make a consensus decision and then fix these templates through editing rather than deletion where they can be returned to their original states. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:33, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Speedy keep - Template has over 60 uses. No clear reason delete it. Lack of WP:BEFORE by nominator. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:48, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Lithuanian wars and conflicts
Per WP:NAVBOX, this template is way too busy. Most articles within it do not relate to a single, coherent subject. The subject of the template seems to be not a country but an ethnic group, which doesn't really usually wage wars and battles as a whole, so the scope is too vague.

I don't see the point in this bottom of the article spam especially as the List of wars involving Lithuania already exists. --Joy (talk) 20:31, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Strong keep. It matches the WP:NAVBOX requirements of a good navbox: there is a single article and there is a single, coherent subject - the List of wars involving Lithuania. As the creator of this template, I just overhauled it to be more coherent, succinct (as much as over seven centuries of military history can be), and pleasing to the eye, compared to other similar templates, such as Template:Hungarian conflicts, Template:Czech wars and conflicts, Template:Polish wars and conflicts, Template:Russian conflicts, and more. The subject of the template is Lithuanian military history and that also includes the two uprisings of the 19th century that sought to re-establish the state of Lithuania, so it seems rather relevant to include them in the template, as they're also mentioned in the article.
- Considering that many more such military history templates exist, I see no reason for the Lithuanian one to be singled out and deleted. — 𝓓 𝓮𝓽 𝓟 (talk) 14:50, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
- Delete fails WP:NAVBOX as much too busy and not useful for navigation. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 16:01, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Template:Infobox castrum
- Template:Infobox castrum (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Replace all instances with {{Infobox historic site}}. There is way too much going on in this Infobox that violates MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE along with multiple red linked labels which makes no sense. Anything not in Infobox historic site should be in the body of the article if at all. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:58, 5 July 2026 (UTC)
- Replace and delete per nom. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 07:22, 6 July 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. No explanation what to do with the numerous unique parameters. ~300 usages is a lot just to dismiss. Gonnym (talk) 15:09, 13 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Fox Sports Radio stations
While there are stations branded Fox Sports Radio or that air all Fox Sports Radio programs, FSR provides affiliate lists on a per-program basis, so it would be impossible to make such a list. For this reason, I excised the affiliate list from the article last month. It is also a terrible use of a navbox to link 128 entries. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 02:19, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
