Template:2011 in Africa
- Template:2011 in Africa (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
replaced by {{Africa topic|2011 in}} Frietjes (talk) 19:29, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
- Delete Essentially no different from a hardcoded version of that template; not generalizable to other years. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 15:30, 9 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:District in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana
Template:Neighborhoods Detroit Index
redundant to Template:Detroit Neighborhoods Frietjes (talk) 17:15, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Izno (talk) 19:00, 7 July 2026 (UTC)- Delete per rationale of nominator. Servite et contribuere (talk) 03:47, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Topics of Ontario Cities
No transclusions, documentation, or incoming links from discussions to explain why it exists. The entire content is a bolded wikilink. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:59, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Delete Absolutely no reason for this to exist whatsoever. Servite et contribuere (talk) 03:36, 10 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. 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 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: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:Russian 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 Russia already exists. Also, people already complained about this weirdness in 2009 and 2012 on Template talk. --Joy (talk) 11:00, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Polish wars and conflicts
Per WP:NAVBOX, this template is way too busy. Most articles within it do not relate to a single, coherent subject.

I don't see the point in this bottom of the article spam especially as the List of wars involving Poland already exists. --Joy (talk) 10:58, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
Template:Czech wars and conflicts

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 the Czech lands already exists. --Joy (talk) 10:57, 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)

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: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)
Template:Prerogative writs
This template has been completely subsumed into the Administrative Law sidebar template. All instances and usages of this template have already been manually replaced by the Administrative Law sidebar template, rendering this one redundant and obsolete. Murr1321 (talk) 02:16, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
Template:Populated places of Comoros
- Template:Populated places of Comoros (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
This unused navbox clearly took a lot of work to put together, but it is hopeless. This should be a list article, not a navbox template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:52, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Then how shall I properly do such as an article? Any hints before I could plan to do so? jlog3000 (talk) 05:00, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Johnluisocasio, you could create List of populated places in the Comoros. for examples see Special:PrefixIndex/List of populated places. Frietjes (talk) 19:52, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Frietjes Will see what I can do. Thanks for the hint at least. jlog3000 (talk) 20:04, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Johnluisocasio, should the new list article be merged with List of cities in the Comoros? the wording at the top of that article says "This is a list of the populated places in Comoros, according to the region they are located in." Frietjes (talk) 14:41, 8 July 2026 (UTC)
- @Frietjes I don't know. Upto you. However though, but not all are cities per se. To my understanding, a city is a type of urban municipality, and not a type of populated place. Unless you have a solution to like sort it out for me; because the list was from one of the templates on French Wikipedia. jlog3000 (talk) 14:48, 8 July 2026 (UTC)

Template:Citytrain platform box Central
Single-use template containing article content and no template parameters. Copy-paste into article and delete. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:37, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Delete - Just a regular wiki table turned template. LachlanTansey (talk) 21:25, 7 July 2026 (UTC)
- Delete - Should just be in article text as per Roma Street railway station and Fortitude Valley railway station, neighbouring stations Nottashaa432 (talk) 09:26, 9 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)
