Superfluous template, only used by the creator in twothree articlesThe Banner talk 18:02, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I’m afraid I wouldn’t understand why the template is superfluous without further explanation. I definitely prefer using this template (right) over not (left): Special:Diff/1328750774. In addition, using the br tag instead is bad for WP:Accessibility, as it only changes the presentation without the semantics (see [1]) which could be much more easily added to the template than to every bare article. And even if none of the above is true, I do not find the numbers next to the verses this template adds objectionable enough to remove, as the deletion of this template would certainly cause.

• Keep. The alternative would be asking editors to type  ⏒ ‒ ⏑ ‒ | ⏒ ‒ ⏑ ‒ | ⏒ ‒ ⏑ ‒  by hand, and we have no reason to do so. —Grufo (talk) 18:09, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Wait/Procedural close: I feel like this TfD needs to be preconditioned on a content discussion on whether Latin articles need to specify the quantitative meter. This template seems useful for specifying the quantitative meter, and useless otherwise. I do not have the relevant knowledge nor the consensus to decide which case applies. Aaron Liu (talk) 18:21, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Aaron Liu: If you go to some related pages (e.g. Greek and Latin metre, or also poems from various ancient writers), you will see these schemes all around, although often badly written (some people even use the letter “u” to indicate a short vowel “⏑” because the latter is hard to type) and without consistency. We can of course discuss about how it should work, but a template that uniforms everything is certainly needed. —Grufo (talk) 18:28, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure where you see consensus. “No consensus for a change” ≠ “consensus for current thing”. I see a 3vs4, so hardly a consensus. Gonnym (talk) 15:40, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused graph template. Gonnym (talk) 13:43, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So the way it worked out is 1) unmaintainable extension with XSS in it was removed 2) no viable migration path for graphs using data from wiki data was offered 3) inclusion from article removed because it’s broken 4) template holding vega-lite-v2 diagram description gets deleted

Just out of curiosity: Is there a way to reliably get data from wiki data into a tab page, appearing as a hard database requirement? This particular page can be probably deleted as Opencast has switched to a time-based release cycle without much deviation from the timeline so the graph only provides limited value to readers at this point. — Rillke (talk) 14:34, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rillke not sure what you mean by a “hard database requirement”, but you can use a Lua transform to populate a chart from Wikidata. —Ahecht (TALK

Thanks, I didn’t know this. Is there an example prompt for an LLM that reliably works transforming old Graph to new Lua+Chart syntax? — Rillke (talk) 14:47, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note that I took a copy in case someone wants me to reproduce the graph in mw:Extension:Chart. — Rillke (talk) 14:47, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused category template. At User talk:Smasongarrison#Template:Occupation by nationality category header the creator said it is ok to delete. Gonnym (talk) 13:42, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I think you meant merging into {{St. Louis}}, not {{St}}. You might want to fix that in case some automatic cleanup script does the work. —Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 01:12, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
