Template:Qrpedia-adverted

Template:Qrpedia-adverted (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Good faith creation, but a bad idea. Such notices belong on talk pages, not in articles, and we already have {{QRpedia}} for that. "Adverted" is not an English word. I write as someone closely involved in QRpedia. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:31, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

all empty and the author has no plan to expand them (see here). 198.102.153.2 (talk) 17:03, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Template:Wormhole

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

there is no way this is working since the template {{noinclude}} has not existed since 2006. 198.102.153.2 (talk) 16:06, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Template:GP2 Asia Series teams

Template:GP2 Asia Series teams (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

The GP2 Asia Series folded, so now template is useless. Cybervoron (talk) 10:18, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Template:Philippine Universities in QS Rankings

Template:Philippine Universities in QS Rankings (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Tagging this template for deletion because of the following reasons (as per WP:TFD#REASONS, among others):

1. The template is not used...and has no likelihood of being used because the template subject in question (ranking of universities) changes every year and rank order is not reflected rendering the template being defeated of the very purpose it was created. 2. Notability. No substantive reason can justify why such template is needed. The template does not reflect rank order and if it does, why should such warrant a template?

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Template:Ctitle

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

If this ever worked, it seems to not anymore. Its documentation says it changes the page title, but it actually just inserts a second title below the actual one (at least in my Vector tests and another user's Monobook tests, see WP:VPT#Ctitle). I can't see this being of much if any use. Currently the only transclusion is on the author's user and user talk pages. Equazcion 04:11, 20 Apr 2012 (UTC)

PS. It appears the Vector issue may be due to my testing on user pages, when I have a script installed that adds user info to the page title. In article space this seems to work, though for people who might have scripts installed that do something similar in article space, they'll experience the same issue. Anyway, this template seems to work less reliably than {{DISPLAYTITLE}} (the monobook issue still stands and is apparently not the result of a script conflict), and the features it adds are of marginal/specialized use.

  • Seems to work okay here from my experiments, but this doesn't serve a productive purpose on the encyclopedia (another pointless userspace bauble) and in any case is redundant to the DISPLAYTITLE magic word. At any rate the author has forked it into userspace, which is the only place this is acceptable. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:00, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete; does not help appearance, and it's solely meant to enhance a page's appearance. Look at it on an old revision of reCAPTCHA, from just before it was removed: while the nominator says that it appears below the actual title in Vector, it appears above the actual title in Monobook. Note that the page has been edited only once after the diff I linked — the edit was to remove this template. Nyttend (talk) 12:03, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete; although it seems to work OK in Vector, it doesn't in Monobook, where it hides all tabs except the "article" one, and also hides all the links upper right such as "my contributions", etc. If this breaks the display in a popular skin (albeit not the default skin), it doesn't have a place in Misplaced Pages. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:13, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
