Not behavior we should be encouraging in articles. Text should not disappear after a certain amount of time. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 08:01, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you ever want to do this?! Just use special:ExpandTemplates… You don’t need a custom linking template. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:59, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Redundant to Template:para. Are we really going to create custom versions of {{para}} for ever template!? Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:57, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused, unhelpful and unneeded. There are better ways to do this than a complex template. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:56, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not even sure what this is supposed to be.. Why is a single use image a template? Just place the image in the article.. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:51, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Not possible to display animated SVG images in any other way. —Grufo (talk) 08:03, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and redundant to Template:Enum & Template:Csv. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:50, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused, unhelpful, unneeded. Not even sure what the point of this template is. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:48, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused, unhelpful, unneeded. There are parser functions for this. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 07:47, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Nominating after three years. There hasn’t been much improvement or purpose for these template to remain as is. All three templates are unnecessary and violate Wikipedia:TEMPLATECREEP and WP:NENAN. We already have Template:History of Thailand navbox. And all articles to some extant are already covered by other relevant navboxes such as monarchs, prime ministers, elections, protests, coups, wars. More navboxes are not needed and certainly not for every period for every country. How are PM’s relevant to a history navbox when we don’t even have the same for other heads of state or government for history of a specific country? A main country history navbox for an overview of general topics are enough. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 19:04, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Iraqi coups with Template:Protests in Iraq.
Recommend merging the nearly unused, and somewhat sparse, and newer {{Iraqi coups}} navbox into the more comprehensive and more widely used {{Protests in Iraq}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:50, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per nom. Note that Template:Protests in Iraq navbox title is actually “Protests and coups in Iraq” so the nomination is even more correct (the template should be moved to match the title after this TfD). Gonnym (talk) 07:15, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As with the now deleted Use Malaysian English template, this template is redundant to Use British English. As stated on the template page, it is an instruction to use ‘Kenyan English spelling, which, as noted in the article, is the same as British English spelling.’ Dgp4004 (talk) 01:10, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Templates like this serve no purpose other than to create confusion with the suggestion that editors with minimal understanding of Kenyan English should not edit the page. The UK/US distinction is useful so editors know whether to use colour or color. Johnuniq (talk) 02:53, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
