Meta:Requests for deletion

WM:RFD
This page hosts local (i.e., Meta-Wiki) requests for page deletion. For requests for speedy deletion from global sysops or stewards, see Steward requests/Miscellaneous. Any language may be used on this page. Before commenting on this page, please read the deletion policy, in particular the criteria for speedy deletion, and the inclusion policy. Please place the template {{RFD}} on the page you are proposing for deletion, and then add an entry in an appropriate section below. As a courtesy, you may wish to inform the principal authors of the page about the request. After at least one week, an administrator will close and carry out the consensus or majority decision.

Articles that qualify for speedy deletion should be tagged with {{delete}} or {{delete|reason}}, and should not be listed here. (See also speedy deletion candidates.) Files with no sources should be tagged with {{no source}} and need not be listed here, either. To request undeletion, see #Requests for undeletion. See Meta:Inclusion policy for a general list of what does not belong on the Meta-Wiki.

Previous requests are archived. Deletion requests ({{Deletion requests}}) can be added to talk page to remember previous RfDs.

Special:PrefixIndex/Translations:Access_to_nonpublic_personal_data_policy-summary[edit]

The page "Access to nonpublic personal data policy-summary/" has moved to the Foundation website, and we have all these unattached translations that people still are editing, which is valueless. Probably time for a cleanout, unless someone can think of a reason not to do so.  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:22, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help:CS1 errors[edit]

This has no reason to exist on Meta - it's just a badly-munged copy of w:Help:CS1 errors, to which I've repointed all links. * Pppery * it has begun 01:29, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

converted to interwiki redirect  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help:Handbook project/Templates[edit]

Ancient cruft from 2005 of no actual historical value. * Pppery * it has begun 02:21, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

deleted  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

History compression[edit]

Ancient crap from 2004 of no actual use. * Pppery * it has begun 05:10, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

deleted  — billinghurst sDrewth 13:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Help:Semi-protected demo page[edit]

Ancient nonsense from 2007 (and actually fully-protected not semi-protected) * Pppery * it has begun 02:36, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Babel[edit]

Appears superseded by {{#babel:}} (by the way could someone perhaps link me its documentation?) as this just produces redlinks. Perhaps we could convert to wrapper but I’m not sure how. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:50, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, it seems like this used to be an (ugly) wrapper before User:NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh misguidedly broke it by importing from Wikipedia. There's also diff but the diff in the edit summary does not appear to exist. Aaron Liu (talk) 21:12, 20 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Aaron Liu: I edited the template on June 22, 2022. All but one current user page transclusions of this template were introduced later to that (old usages were manually fixed). The only exception is this one which transcludes {{Babel}} without providing any arguments. That this template produces nothing but red links is merely the result of it not being used correctly and should not be a basis for deletion. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 05:08, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh What is the correct use then? After you fixed them, new usages such as User:Rhyswynne have still popped up. The existence of this template is confusing and actively hurts those new to meta. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:14, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Deleting the template will only create more red links. I don't see how that resolve the problem (if there is one). NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 15:39, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that reverting the template to a wrapper with a deprecation message is essentially the same as deletion. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:54, 21 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: To preserve historical content. Could be reverted back to a revision that works like before. —— Eric LiuTalk 09:09, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Ericliu1912 You mean the version that was basically a wrapper? Aaron Liu (talk) 12:44, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per Ajraddatz, no need to keep redundant codes, such codes, if still need to keep, shall be happened at MediaWiki.org. --Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 01:50, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How exactly is this related to mw.org? ~~~~

Comment Comment The template and the updated module, both leverage the extension. If we delete the template and the module, then we need to go and edit all the pages that we've broken, which is pointless. May as well deprecate the use, and leave it as is.  — billinghurst sDrewth 04:29, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
