Useless Patrick’s library

--Pols12 (talk) 17:22, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
- delete, useless. ToadetteEdit (talk) 13:37, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Ifeqnw - delete, described by its own author as deprectaed. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Chr<n> - delete, only used in context of Help:Array which has been moved to MediaWiki. All of those that have any useful context have been moved there with documentation.
- Template:Modint - delete, apparently a workaround for a bug that has since been fixed. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Numi, Template:Numif - delete, not used anywhere, no known use case * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Rnd - delete, there are better ways of rounding numbers these days. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Sigfig - keep for now since contrary to the claimed nomination reason this wasn't actually created by Patrick so it needs a separate nomination. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Expr - delete "This template is like #expr, but without the inconsistency in using scientific format. " but with no explanation of what that inconsistency is or why anyone would care. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Exprf - weak keep. Has documentation, does something I could actually conceive of someone wanting to do in 2024 * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Transclusion depth test, Template:Edt, Template:Xpdt/1xchain2021 - delete. Broken for years since the expansion depth limit was increased. I tried to rescue Help:Expansion depth during my help migration project and declared the whole thing unsalvageable gobbledygook. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Xpdt - delete. Despite its name this is not part of Meta:Expansion demo templates but instead the same as the above set. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Xpdt1, Template:Xpdtp, Template:Xpdtn - weak keep. These are from the Expansion Demo Templates set, and I don't see a good reason to remove parts of the set when other parts are still in use. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:40 nested calls of if, Template:Call of Xpdt/25 inside 7 nested calls of 1x - delete. How many times did Patrick need to make this point? * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Numfh - weak keep as just a trivial compose of two templates that are used. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Modint - this is actually used, albeit only on pages that are themselves tagged for deletion. Inclined to say "delete - nobody on Meta cares about the fine points of integer representation in #expr these days" anyway. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Pow, Template:Powint - keep as actually used. * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Power compare - delete, just why? * Pppery * it has begun 03:40, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Round0 - keep as used in Template:Divint which has found real uses. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Roundtozero - delete, nobody cares. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Roote row - delete, nobody cares. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Digit* - delete, only a dependency of the chr<n> set I said delete to above. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Allpar - delete, only a dependency of the above. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Integer - delete, apparently only a dependency of the above. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Hexs - keep, used in the documentation of other kept templates. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Xpettb, Template:Xpett, Template:Xpettu, Template:Xpnttu - delete, goal page moved to MediaWiki. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Type - delete, blanked since 2010. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Xpsopocc - keep for the same reason as Template:Xpdt1 above. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Ceil, Template:Floor - not really worth deleting as reasonable, self-documented rounding templates. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Shn, Template:Significand - delete as apparently in development hell. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Code - delete and move Template:Code2 here to stop trapping people. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Restrict - keep, used in a lot of places. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Do for all languages - unused, hardcoded, pointless. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Dig - delete - unused, no clear use case. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- This scattershot nomination of such a large number of templates without sufficient individual evaulations, or even tagging them to allow others to do such evaluations, was inappropriate. And most of these aren't sandboxes, they are part of Patrick's 2010 vision to use Meta help pages to document everything conceivable about how parser functions like #expr (and template syntax more generally) works, even things nobody cares about. That has largely been cleaned up now, with a few remnants like mw:Manual:Representation of numbers in expr parser function, so many of these can be deleted, but this nomination that makes guesses about context (which proved to be wrong) rather than figuring that out doesn't really help. * Pppery * it has begun 03:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- I've tagged all templates that weren't already tagged. * Pppery * it has begun 04:00, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Template:Other languages/Template:Main Page
- and all translation subpages.
Doesn't seem to be in use after MF-Warburg converted Main Page to use the translate extension. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 10:49, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect Template:Main Page -> Main Page, Template:Main Page/en -> Main Page/en, etc. * Pppery * it has begun 15:09, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Categories
[edit]Submit your category deletion request at the bottom of this section.
- Category:User styles - pointless relic category containing only obsolete pages, all useful content is on MediaWiki.org. * Pppery * it has begun 03:12, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Navigation - pointless relic category containing only orphan translations, all useful content is on MediaWiki.org. * Pppery * it has begun 03:12, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Page versions - amalgamation of unrelated stuff that isn't really a useful category anymore. * Pppery * it has begun 03:12, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Reader handbook, Category:Editor handbook - These category layers are pretty much obsolete following the migration of most help pages to MediaWiki.org. The few help pages that stay on Meta can be in Category:MediaWiki handbook or one of its other subcategories directly. * Pppery * it has begun 03:12, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
