Template:-

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. 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). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was no consensus to deletePlastikspork ―Œ 02:47, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

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

Redundant to either {{Clear}} (usually) or {{Break}} (or plain <br>) - suggest redirecting. Alakzi (talk) 23:33, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

It is definitely not the same as <br>. But it is identical to the other tags. I guess if people find it useful it should stay, but if not, well, that's fine too. – Quadell 23:43, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
It is not the same but it might sometimes be used for that purpose. Alakzi (talk) 23:50, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Keep it uses the HTML entity BR, which curiously, {{break}} does not use, so is neither the same as the DIV used in {{clear}} nor the Wikimarkup #invoke used in {{break}}. It is also frequently used. So it should stay no matter what happens (as a template name), since people use it and expect it to exist, as it is very old and commonly used. -- 70.51.46.11 (talk) 07:35, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
  • Redirect to {{clear}}. The clear: property is not officially supported inside <br> anyway, as it is not a block level element. Its purpose is to create a linebreak, not create a new paragraph, for which it is now abused. The effect is essentially the same; creating a new block context by clearing floats. -- ] {{talk}} 09:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
  • keep, it has a 146,000 transclutions. The purpose of the template and how its used doesnt have to be equal. But anyway before redirect, please check every use of it. Christian75 (talk) 10:31, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Template:Crlf

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

Redundant to {{Break}}; it can simply be redirected. Alakzi (talk) 23:27, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Template:•wrap

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the template below. 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). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the discussion was deletePlastikspork ―Œ 18:55, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

Template:·wrap (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:!wrap (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:–wrap (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:•wrap (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Vestiges of a pre-hlist era; redundant to hlist and its various wrappers and nowraplinks. Alakzi (talk) 18:01, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

I use it here: User:Anna Frodesiak. Is there a replacement? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 06:37, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
{{flatlist}}. -- ] {{talk}} 09:22, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
I use(d) it here: User:Evermore2. What this 'flatlist' is rather missing is - well, flatness. -- Evermore2 (talk) 21:32, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
You can use {{hlist}} if you don't want to have each bullet on its own line. Alakzi (talk) 21:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
Looks like a dandy replacement. Fine then. I'm all for zapping these outdated wrappers. Many thanks for the guidance, all. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:03, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Hang on. Flatlist doesn't work for external links like * for example. Is there any other replacement for {{•wrap}}? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 07:16, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
It works with "1=":
{{flatlist|1=
*
*
}}
{{hlist|1=|2=}}
Alakzi (talk) 10:12, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
It does! Thank you. I was not using the "1=". Cheers. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:27, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Hang on again. It works, but the items wrap. Plus, the first item has a bullet before it. See User:Anna Frodesiak/Violet sandbox and feel free to modify it. Can't we just keep the old {{•wrap}}? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:40, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Ah, okay, I figured it out. All set. Sorry for the trouble. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:51, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Template:SN Prep Athlete of the Year (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Fails WP:NAVBOX No. 4: "There should be a Misplaced Pages article on the subject of the template." Sporting News High School Athlete of the Year is a redirect to Sporting News with no mention of this award. Based on initial research, a list of winners of this award would fail WP:LISTN. It also appears that this award is defunct, last issued in 2011. —Bagumba (talk) 17:57, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Template:Serie A (basketball) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

As per WP:TFD#REASONS this template is made redundant by the more adequately named and better designed Template:Lega Basket Serie A. ArmstrongJulian (talk) 13:15, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

I didn't merge it. I think it should be a deletion, I can't see where else its been used but all current Serie A articles are not using it and the only time I encountered it elsewhere was on an outdate club article (for a team that had been out of the league for 6 or 7 years). I'm pretty positive the other uses would also be outdated. --ArmstrongJulian (talk) 07:07, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
