No transclusions, documentation, or incoming links. This is article content that is highly unlikely to change. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:23, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

delete, seems like there was some merger of the conferences as all the articles are using Template:2023 Big South–OVC football standings instead? Frietjes (talk) 21:43, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Culture sidebars part 3

[edit]
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 merge and redirect as listed. Most participants felt this would be a better use of space. Beland (talk) 17:34, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominator's rationale: WP:LEADSIDEBAR and WP:TFD#REASONS #2. Follow-up to the LAT precedents (Liechtenstein, Andorra, Transnistria) a.k.a. Culture sidebars part 1, and Culture sidebars part 2, which all resulted in merge. NLeeuw (talk) 15:51, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
PS: I just finished tagging. Maybe I should try Mass TFD next time, although I've got a tendency to make mass errors when I do, so... For this one, I decided to tag them all manually. NLeeuw (talk) 18:35, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support for merge: Thanks for the ping. I'm not really familiar with sidebars because I don't tend to use them, but I will say that I supported the ones for the microstates because the articles mostly overlapped. By looking through some of these for larger countries, it seems to be a similar case, but I can also see arguments against merging. TheBritinator (talk) 19:28, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused after this edit converted the template to use a module backend. Gonnym (talk) 08:39, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

{{OSM Location map/ModuleSandbox}} is a useful way to call the actual module sandbox, and is used by the useful test collection of templates in the doc. It is only relevent if/when features are being considered, but it, or something like it, would need recreating one day if it was deleted.
The two 'temp' items were stopgap templates with no further interest.
All of the others embody the development process and last working state of the pre-lua template. Since the lua module does not carry forward any of that development or rational history, it would be lost if these are deleted. I have no idea if that matters or not. I agree that them staying within the current {{OSM Location map}} space is unhelpful for both clarity and to anyone looking to use the lua version on other wikis. If there is a place where such things get archived, that would seem a good solution, but if not I am content they are deleted. RobinLeicester (talk) 10:26, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia isn't really setup as an archive site, nor does it need to. Template:OSM Location map/sandbox is used to call the module sandbox (as it should) making Template:OSM Location map/ModuleSandbox redundant. Gonnym (talk) 12:05, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused stale tests. This also isn't how tests should be made. If you are testing something, use Module:Higher education task force/testcases. If you are working on a sandbox, use Module:Higher education task force/sandbox. There is hardly a valid reason for the same person to work on 3 different sandboxes at the same time. Gonnym (talk) 07:44, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Each version was an iterative version which was being presented to people at the same time, but I wasn't aware of /testcases as being an option, and agree that would be better. Is there any reference page I can look at for future issues like this? No one pointed me in the right direction. Thanks. Is it ok if I move these pages to the appropriate place myself? Tduk (talk) 02:56, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Reasonable. It should find a place before we have a close on this nomination. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 02:24, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Currently this is broken due to the graph extension being permanently broken. Given this state, it would be best to delete this template, especially given the fact it only used in 20 places, none of which are articles, and many of which relate to the template itself. I suggest deleting it to reduce confusion and prevent accidental use. There is consensus, as Template:PageViews graph was deleted on similar grounds. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 05:51, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I don't think it's worth the effort porting the graphs over. —Matrix ping mewhen u reply (t? - c) 09:40, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
