- Template:Ursula K. Le Guin Prize (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Only links two articles. WP:NENAN. --woodensuperman 10:46, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Since it’s a relatively new prize, there are only four winners, two of the links are red. Yamato2 (talk) 17:45, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep: The winners are notable, even if their articles have not been created yet. The prize is likely to continue and its list will grow in future years, meaning that the template would need to be created again in the future. Michelangelo1992 (talk) 12:41, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. Not enough links for a navigation template. Gonnym (talk) 11:26, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

Unsourced, no article on the subject. --woodensuperman 12:47, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. The subject is located at Gazeta Wyborcza#Person of the Year however, that does not contain a list. An article (or section) should be created first before a navigation template. Gonnym (talk) 11:25, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

One link. Useless for navigation. --woodensuperman 16:18, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

- 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 No consensus * Pppery * it has begun... 17:41, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- Template:POTD/2035-02-03 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
It makes no sense to reserve a spot for POTD 10 years in advance. Pichpich (talk) 16:27, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep: it is meant to coincide with the 100th anniversary of his birth.
- Also why did you nominate this template specifically? {{POTD/2036-05-15}} and {{POTD/2038-07-29}} were created before this one. ―Howard • 🌽33 16:31, 20 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. Completely pointless creating anything 10+ years in advance. Gonnym (talk) 13:34, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
- {{POTD/2035-02-03}} (already nominated for deletion)
- {{POTD/2036-05-15}}
- {{POTD/2038-07-29}}
- {{POTD/2041-05-24}} (kept per here)
- {{POTD/2043-08-26}}
- I suggest you also nominate the others for deletion to be comprehensive. ―Howard • 🌽33 21:14, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- All can be thrown away as completely useless and pointless. However, see WP:OTHERTHINGSEXIST. Gonnym (talk) 12:59, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
- Keep. Consensus at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day/Archive 11#Limit for future images is that there is no time limit on future scheduling PTOD. Wikipedia:Picture of the day/Guidelines imposes no limit either. A prior deletion discussion, Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2026 February 12#Template:POTD/2041-05-24, on the same grounds, resulted in consensus to keep the nominated template. I don't think this is a good forum to impose a limit, and particularly not on a case-by-case basis. I would support discussing the issue at Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day and then editing the guidelines with the result before deletion nominations in this forum. --Bsherr (talk) 03:02, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
- "Consensus". Gonnym (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
- A discussion on the relevant talk page with two participants who agreed. Stronger than WP:IMPLICITCONSENSUS, which says that a bold edit that isn't reverted is a new consensus. But not unchangeable. --Bsherr (talk) 20:15, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Italian comune 2
- 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; deleted by Pppery (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) AnomieBOT⚡ 19:17, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- Template:Infobox Italian comune 2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Recently created template that duplicates Template:Infobox Italian comune. No reason to have a 2 version. This is what the sandbox of a template is for. Note that the creator of this Infobox has a failed edit request to implement this broken code. This is not the way to go about this. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 22:34, 21 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep: V1 use a manual data or wikidata. V2 adding automatic "actual" statistic (area size, populatiom) from dataset. V2 as a path into V1 is not enabled for testing require, but the template require a real Italian comune pages. Actual way is user-like as into infobox give low template call (Ex. Special:Diff/1344337190). Dušan Kreheľ (talk) 07:22, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. Any changes needed to the infobox should be proposed in the talk page. Gonnym (talk) 14:39, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete. I would suggest User:Dušan Kreheľ follow the advice given at Template talk:Infobox Italian comune#Edit request 18 March 2026 to work in the sandbox and make a test case table for the proposed feature. Yes, the template sandbox will not have a linked Wikidata item that will allow the template to work. But, as a temporary measure, you can specify a sample entity_id in your transclusion of Template:Wikidata, or make it a parameter you can use in your call to the sandbox template, to show how the sandbox template will work, and then remove it when it is time to implement it. Then you can demonstrate the sandbox template works as designed. --Bsherr (talk) 03:46, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete as above; or move to userspace as a sandbox if wanted. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:53, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Template:Abraham
| This discussion was subject to a deletion review on 2026 April 10. For an explanation of the process, see Wikipedia:Deletion review. |
- 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. Only arguments to keep amount to WP:OTHERSTUFF plain and simple. (non-admin closure) Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 02:36, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- Template:Abraham (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Another linkspam sidebar... Per WP:SIDEBAR, this is far from a group of articles with a single, coherent subject. It will never be fully transcluded and is useless for navigation, serving instead as decoration. Let's not take away so much space from images and real educational content. MediaKyle (talk) 11:03, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
DeleteWeak delete per nom. (If anyone thinks the content should be kept, then they can convert it into a footer template.) Feline Hymnic (talk) 12:24, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Downgrading my previous "delete". That had been based on the excessive amount of screen real-estate it had been swallowing and its consequent over-dominance of the main subject matter. Since then, the change by Wikieditor662 (to whom thanks!) has largely addressed that aspect. Feline Hymnic (talk) 22:15, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:NOTDATABASE. GenoV84 (talk) 15:46, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Strong Keep
this is far from a group of articles with a single, coherent subject.
this is simply incorrect. Abraham is the main subject, and every other article on there is related to him. These are a group of articles that all center around the main page and help guide readers towards other similar and related pages and understand the topic better. There's no reason for this to be deleted.
- Also, sidebars just like this are used in multiple WP:FA articles, such as Jesus and Genghis Khan. Wikieditor662 (talk) 16:56, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- PS I just collapsed the list, so it should be much shorter now. Wikieditor662 (talk) 17:13, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Being vaguely related is not enough for inclusion in a sidebar... The Genghis Khan sidebar is actually not too bad, as it's constrained to articles such as Wives of Genghis Khan and Burial place of Genghis Khan... Such articles don't exist for Abraham. Instead, this sidebar includes everything under the sun, like Ancient Egypt. This is not useful for navigation and takes away space from educational materials. See also WP:BIDIRECTIONAL -- this sidebar doesn't belong on most of these articles, so most of these articles shouldn't be on the sidebar. We really just don't need any more of these. MediaKyle (talk) 17:19, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- But WP:ATD says
If editing can address all relevant reasons for deletion, this should be done rather than deleting the page.
So if removing certain articles you don't think fit could be an alternative, shouldn't that be done instead? Wikieditor662 (talk) 23:13, 11 March 2026 (UTC)- I don't think that is an alternative. If you removed all of the articles that don't belong, you'd have nothing left. This is not useful to our readers and should be deleted. MediaKyle (talk) 23:33, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Second update: I've removed some lesser significant/relevant articles. Let me know if you want me to remove even more, I can do that.
- But there are definitely articles that are very much related to Abraham and are about him. In fact, I'd say he has just as many (if not more!) relevant articles to him than Genghis Khan. For example Abraham's family tree, Abraham and Lot's conflict, Abraham and the Idol Shop, and many others. Wikieditor662 (talk) 23:47, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

- But WP:ATD says
- Keep as long as the consensus is in favor of having sidebars I think this is a perfectly fine topic for one. We should not try to pick away at individual sidebars if the problem is with sidebars in general. I've gotten far more critical of sidebars in general however and think that a discussion whether to tighten up the guidelines for sidebars might be warranted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trialpears (talk • contribs) 12:26, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete this is poorly suited to a sidebar. Due to the nature of the Bible this has turned out to be a massively duplicative rehash of our dozens of other Biblical sidebars with almost no content unique to the claimed subject. I agree that we should tighten our guidelines for them - but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do anything about them now. PARAKANYAA (talk) 18:39, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
[A]lmost no content unique to the claimed subject
is inaccurate here. We have a few vague links here like God in Abrahamic religions and Bible for sure and I would support removal (only reason I'm not doing it right now is due to this ongoing discussion), but the majority is stuff with direct connections to the subject like his direct family, stories he's featured in, things named after him, articles about his islamic interpretation and books claimed to be written by him. Trialpears (talk) 19:49, 28 March 2026 (UTC)- Yes, those are all generic biblical topics because Abraham is connected to nearly all significant things in the bible. There is nothing this serves that the generic biblical navigation and the article doesn't. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:03, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- Gotcha, Abraham's family tree, Cave of the Patriarchs (his supposed burial site), Abraham and Lot's conflict, Bosom of Abraham and Book of Abraham are all genric biblical topic with no special connection. Trialpears (talk) 20:12, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
- Yes. The whole story of the Bible is the story of Abraham and his descendants. There is no need for a separate sidebar template that takes up this much space. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:16, 28 March 2026 (UTC)
There is nothing this serves that the generic biblical navigation and the article doesn't.
Under what criteria is this defined as generic? The fact that he's a biblical figure doesn't alone discard the use of a sidebar. Wikieditor662 (talk) 21:14, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

- Template:ClockBlock/doc (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Humor pages should not interfere with the rest of the wiki procedures, yet User:Hex is intentionally doing so. They've reverted adding the /doc page here causing the /doc page to be unused and orphaned, and reverted deleting the /doc page here which what happens per T5. Either the /doc page is needed and should be restored, or it is not needed. Gonnym (talk) 13:36, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Keep and include in {{ClockBlock}}, per Wikipedia:Template namespace#Guidelines: "Templates should be clearly documented as to their usage and scope." – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:50, 9 March 2026 (UTC)
- Delete and trout both the person who thought it was a good use of anyone's time, let alone their own, to add a totally unnecessary and pointless documentation template to a humorous template in the first place and the nominator for their hyperbolic claim of "interfering with wiki procedures". Both of you need to go outside once in a while. — Hex • talk 08:24, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- Feel free to cite a guideline or policy. And I went outside three days ago! That should be enough. I can see outside through the bars on my cell window. – Jonesey95 (talk) 12:40, 11 March 2026 (UTC)
- I draw your attention to the top of WP:TMP, where like on every guideline it says
The determination of when exceptions are applicable is based upon an understanding of the common English words guideline and should, accompanied by common sense. For guidance on the latter topic please consult WP:UCS. — Hex • talk 13:24, 21 March 2026 (UTC)This page documents an English Wikipedia project content guideline. Editors should generally follow it, though exceptions may apply.

- Delete. I see this as a contested speedy deletion of the page. Given that this is a documentation subpage that is not presently used by means of the documentation template, criterion T5 is applicable and the page should be deleted. --Bsherr (talk) 03:20, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

Unnecessary template; could be replaced with plain wikitext. Vestrian24Bio 13:24, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm looking at the usage as 2007–08 Sheffield Shield season and I don't see any space issues where "Home team" can't be written fully. Why do we need an ambiguous abbreviation here? Unless there is an actual valid usage here, I'm leaning replace with full text and delelte. Gonnym (talk) 18:15, 12 March 2026 (UTC)
- Substitute. This technique contravenes MOS:NOHOVER because it is an abbreviation that relies on hover for explanation, which is not accessible to those with disabilities. I'm going to edit the template to spell out "home team". I think it should be substituted. --Bsherr (talk) 20:21, 2 April 2026 (UTC)

These templates seem to be poorly maintained. Whenever a rider changes teams, this template would need to be replaced on their page. Whenever a team's riders changes, the template itself would need to be changed. The conventional practice now appears to be to use the proyears and proteam parameters in the {{Infobox cyclist}} template. Kiwipete (talk) 21:31, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
- Comment: The first sentence sums up the templates realistically; but in reference to the remainder of the above, the situation is no different from a football player, rugby player or American football player moving teams e.g. Antoine Semenyo moving from AFC Bournemouth to Manchester City in January 2026 (Change of team template), Tomos Williams moving from Cardiff Rugby to Gloucester Rugby in summer 2024 (noting here that the Change of team template was not updated until the following summer) or Geno Smith being traded from the Las Vegas Raiders to the New York Jets a couple of weeks ago (Change of franchise template) – all of which have the relevant sport infobox on their individual pages with the requisite team years.
- There are templates listed that ideally can be deleted, specifically the teams that no longer exist – such as {{Arkéa–B&B Hotels Women riders}}, {{Ceratizit Pro Cycling riders}} and {{Team Rupelcleaning–Champion Lubricants riders}} to name three. It would appear strange, and incorrect, to delete all the women's team templates, when 50 other templates exist for men's teams within Category:UCI WorldTeam riders navigational boxes, Category:UCI Professional Continental team riders navigational boxes and Category:Cycling team riders navigational boxes, and is hopefully not a bias. {{Team Coop–Repsol riders}} was previously nominated on 30 January (closed as no consensus on 20 February) and {{Team Illuminate riders}} was previously nominated on 22 February (closed as keep on 14 March). Craig(talk) 21:27, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @Craig, many thanks for your comment. I'd re-emphasise the first sentence :) I'm not concerned at all with other sports. As to your question - is there any bias? Yes, but only to the extent that I'm focusing on women's cyclists/cyclist teams. I hadn't checked, but could have guessed that there were equivalent templates for male cyclists. Kiwipete (talk) 03:04, 25 March 2026 (UTC)
- weak keep, we should definitely delete the ones for defunct teams, but many of these do provide useful navigation. Unrelated, it's not appropriate to tag this as a merge discussion when deletion is what is being proposed. however, if the focus is only on deleting templates for the women's teams, it would be better to focus on improving the women's templates instead of deleting only the women's navboxes. I would be happy to update all of these, assuming this discussion doesn't end with deletion. Frietjes (talk) 14:28, 26 March 2026 (UTC)
- @Frietjes: I went through and updated the existing templates for the UCI Women's WorldTeams and UCI Women's ProTeams for a total of 17 – these being AG Insurance–Soudal, Canyon–SRAM (now Canyon–SRAM Zondacrypto), EF Education–Oatly, FDJ–Suez (now FDJ United–Suez), Fenix–Deceuninck (now Fenix–Premier Tech), Human Powered Health, Lidl–Trek, Liv AlUla Jayco, Lotto–Soudal Ladies (now Lotto–Intermarché Ladies), Movistar Team, Parkhotel Valkenburg (now VolkerWessels), Team Picnic–PostNL, SD Worx (now SD Worx–Protime), Visma–Lease a Bike, UAE Team ADQ, Uno-X and Winspace Orange Seal (now Mayenne–Monbana–Mypie). That leaves 39 from the original 56, which are as follows:
Status No. Teams Teams still active at UCI Women's Continental level 11 Aromitalia–Basso Bikes–Vaiano (now Aromitalia Vaiano), BePink (now Vini Fantini–BePink), CAMS–Basso Bikes (now DAS–Hutchinson), China Liv, Isolmant–Premac–Vittoria, Roland, Sho-Air TWENTY20 (now Virginia's Blue Ridge–TWENTY28), Team Coop–Repsol (now Hitec Products–Fluid Control), Thailand Women's, Top Girls Fassa Bortolo, WCC Team Teams still active, but now amateur and no UCI licence 3 A.R. Monex, Eneicat–CMTeam (now Eneicat–Be Call), Massi–Tactic (now Massi–Baix Ter) Defunct team 25 Agolico, Andy Schleck–CP NVST–Immo Losch, Arkéa–B&B Hotels Women, Bingoal Casino–Chevalmeire, Bizkaia–Durango, Burgos Alimenta, Ceratizit, Ciclotel, DNA, Doltcini–Van Eyck–Proximus, EF Education–Tibco–SVB, GT Krush Tunap, Hagens Berman–Supermint, Health Mate–Cyclelive, InstaFund, Lifeplus–Wahoo, Liv Racing, Lviv, Minsk Cycling Club, Multum, Servetto–Makhymo–Beltrami TSA, Sopela, Team Illuminate, Team Rupelcleaning–Champion Lubricants, Valcar–Travel & Service - In my opinion, the bottom two options in the above table would be suitable for deletion (in theory, the ones I've previously created would probably make WP:G7 apply here) – leaving, at this stage, 28 out of 56. Craig(talk) 00:18, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
- User:Cs-wolves, that's awesome. yes, I agree with you, delete the ones in the last two rows of your table, but keep the navboxes for the 11 active teams with a UCI licence. Frietjes (talk) 15:46, 27 March 2026 (UTC)
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: There is an emerging consensus to delete the unused/invalid templates (those shown in red in the table above) and keep the rest, but I'd like to relist once just to firm that up.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Primefac (talk) 13:46, 28 March 2026 (UTC) - Delete the unused invalid templates. The others can be kept. Gonnym (talk) 09:57, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
