- Template:Sbwj-big (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Unused template; only linked from itself and other softball-related template documentation. MikeVitale 20:40, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

WP:WikiProject MIT/Media Lab is an inactive task force, that while has 7 pages tagged, it has no categorization, so adding this task force to the parent banner while create dozens of empty categories for no reason. Delete this template and replace usages with Template:WikiProject MIT. Gonnym (talk) 14:03, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

- Template:WikiProject Articles for creation/redirect (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:WikiProject Articles for creation/file (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:WikiProject Articles for creation/category (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
These wrapper banners used to set the class value of redirect or file. That was removed as it isn't needed anymore. As such these banners don't add or do anything unique and are redundant to the main template. Gonnym (talk) 13:57, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Gonnym: Same with Template:WikiProject Articles for creation/category? Nobody (talk) 14:30, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I didn't know about that one. Gonnym (talk) 16:24, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- Added /category. --Gonnym (talk) 16:24, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, I didn't know about that one. Gonnym (talk) 16:24, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- I noticed that these also automatically add the reviewer and timestamp while the main template doesn't, so probably if a subst version is wanted, then merge these into a single /subst template. Gonnym (talk) 16:43, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/U.S. Route 66 task force (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/U.S. Route 66 is a task force of Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads. Task forces shouldn't use a separate banner template and instead should use their parent project's banner. The banner already includes this task force parameter: {{WikiProject U.S. Roads|type=US66}}. Gonnym (talk) 13:53, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose—there are articles that are only pertinent to the task force that are not pertinent to the rest of the project. For example, USRD itself will not assess/track/tag the historic sites along US 66 like gas stations because they are not roads, but the US 66 TF would track them because they are related to the general history of US Route 66. It is for exactly that reason that the separate banner was created. Imzadi 1979 → 00:44, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- I don't find that distinction compelling, given that this banner is used on less than 130 pages. Gonnym (talk) 11:20, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- The task force exists as a collaboration between USRD and the US History project. It needs a way to track its articles, and some of its articles are going to be outside of the scope of USRD, its nominal host project. Therefore, the banner exists. If the banner is deleted, the tracking capability of the task force will be affected when those 130 articles are removed from the task force categories. Those are simple facts. The banner has a use, and it does not violate policy. Therefore, there are no grounds to delete it. Thus, it should stay. Imzadi 1979 → 23:46, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Unused and won't be in-use for years. Gonnym (talk) 08:44, 14 February 2025 (UTC)

Created by a banned user, just connecting two links and not even updated. this template can be created if this event stays on the program for one or two more Games but for now it doesn't look necessary. Sports2021 (talk) 03:58, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
