Proposed deletion

On this page, the deletion or merging of templates and modules, except as noted below, is discussed.

How to use this page[edit]

What not to propose for discussion here[edit]

Shortcut

The majority of deletion and merger proposals concerning pages in the template namespace and module namespace should be listed on this page. However, there are a few exceptions:

Stub templates
Stub templates and categories should be listed at Categories for discussion, as these templates are merely containers for their categories, unless the stub template does not come with a category and is being nominated by itself.
Userboxes
Userboxes should be listed at Miscellany for deletion, regardless of the namespace in which they reside.
Speedy deletion candidates
If the template clearly satisfies a criterion for speedy deletion, tag it with a speedy deletion template. For example, if you wrote the template and request its deletion, tag it with {{Db-author}}.
Policy or guideline templates
Templates that are associated with particular Wikipedia policies or guidelines, such as the speedy deletion templates, cannot be listed at TfD separately. They should be discussed on the talk page of the relevant guideline.
Template redirects
List at Redirects for discussion.
Moving and renaming
Use Wikipedia:Requested moves.

Reasons to delete a template[edit]

Shortcut
  1. The template violates some part of the template namespace guidelines, and can't be altered to be in compliance.
  2. The template is redundant to a better-designed template.
  3. The template is not used, either directly or by template substitution (the latter cannot be concluded from the absence of backlinks), and has no likelihood of being used.
  4. The template violates a policy such as Neutral point of view or Civility and it can't be fixed through normal editing.

Templates should not be nominated if the issue can be fixed by normal editing. Instead, you should edit the template to fix its problems. If the template is complex and you don't know how to fix it, WikiProject Templates may be able to help.

Templates for which none of these apply may be deleted by consensus here. If a template is being misused, consider clarifying its documentation to indicate the correct use, or informing those that misuse it, rather than nominating it for deletion. Initiate a discussion on the template talk page if the correct use itself is under debate.

Listing a template[edit]

Shortcuts

To list a template for deletion or merging, follow this three-step process. The use of Twinkle (explained below) is strongly recommended, as it automates and simplifies these steps. Note that the "Template:" prefix should not be included anywhere when carrying out these steps (unless otherwise specified).

Step Instructions
I: Tag the template. Add one of the following codes to the top of the template page:

Note:

  • If the template nominated is inline, do not add a newline between the TfD notice and the code of the template.
  • If the template to be nominated for deletion is protected, make a request for the TfD tag to be added, by posting on the template's talk page and using the {{editprotected}} template to catch the attention of administrators or Template editors.
  • For templates designed to be substituted, add <noinclude>...</noinclude> around the TfD notice to prevent it from being substituted alongside the template.
  • Do not mark the edit as minor.
  • Use an edit summary like
    Nominated for deletion; see [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion#Template:name of template]]
    or
    Nominated for merging; see [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion#Template:name of template]].
  • Before saving your edit, preview your edit to ensure the Tfd message is displayed properly.

Multiple templates: If you are nominating multiple related templates, choose a meaningful title for the discussion (like "American films by decade templates"). Tag every template with {{subst:Tfd|heading=discussion title}} or {{subst:Tfm|name of other template|heading=discussion title}} instead of the versions given above, replacing discussion title with the title you chose (but still not changing the PAGENAME code).

Related categories: If including template-populated tracking categories in the TfD nomination, add {{Catfd|template name}} to the top of any categories that would be deleted as a result of the TfD, this time replacing template name with the name of the template being nominated. (If you instead chose a meaningful title for a multiple nomination, use {{Catfd|header=title of nomination}} instead.)

TemplateStyles pages: The above templates will not work on TemplateStyles pages. Instead, add a CSS comment to the top of the page:

/* This template is being discussed in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Help reach a consensus at its entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024_April_23#Template:template_name.css */
II: List the template at TfD. Follow this link to edit today's TfD log.

Add this text to the top of the list:

  • For deletion: {{subst:Tfd2|template name|text=Why you think the template should be deleted. ~~~~}}
  • For merging: {{subst:Tfm2|template name|other template's name|text=Why you think the templates should be merged. ~~~~}}

If the template has had previous TfDs, you can add {{Oldtfdlist|previous TfD without brackets|result of previous TfD}} directly after the Tfd2/Catfd2 template.

Use an edit summary such as
Adding [[Template:template name]].

Multiple templates: If this is a deletion proposal involving multiple templates, use the following:

{{subst:Tfd2|template name 1|template name 2 ...|title=meaningful discussion title|text=Why you think the templates should be deleted. ~~~~}}

You can add up to 50 template names (separated by vertical bar characters | ). Make sure to include the same meaningful discussion title that you chose before in Step 1.

If this is a merger proposal involving more than two templates, use the following:

{{subst:Tfm2|template name 1|template name 2 ...|with=main template (optional)|title=meaningful discussion title|text=Why you think the templates should be merged. ~~~~}}

You can add up to 50 template names (separated by vertical bar characters | ), plus one more in |with=. |with= does not need to be used, but should be the template that you want the other templates to be merged into. Make sure to include the same meaningful discussion title that you chose before in Step 1.

Related categories: If this is a deletion proposal involving a template and a category populated solely by templates, add this code in the |text= field of the Tfd2 template but before the text of your rationale:

{{subst:Catfd2|category name}}
III: Notify users. Please notify the creator of the template nominated (as well as the creator of the target template, if proposing a merger). It is helpful to also notify the main contributors of the template that you are nominating. To find them, look in the page history or talk page of the template. Then, add one of the following:

to the talk pages of the template creator (and the creator of the other template for a merger) and the talk pages of the main contributors. It is also helpful to make any interested WikiProjects aware of the discussion. To do that, make sure the template's talk page is tagged with the banners of any relevant WikiProjects; please consider notifying any of them that do not use Article alerts.

Multiple templates: There is no template for notifying an editor about a multiple-template nomination: please write a personal message in these cases.

Consider adding any templates you nominate for TfD to your watchlist. This will help ensure that the TfD tag is not removed.

After nominating: Notify interested projects and editors[edit]

While it is sufficient to list a template for discussion at TfD (see above), nominators and others sometimes want to attract more attention from and participation by informed editors. All such efforts must comply with Wikipedia's guideline against biased canvassing.

To encourage participation by less experienced editors, please avoid Wikipedia-specific abbreviations in the messages you leave about the discussion, link to any relevant policies or guidelines, and link to the TfD discussion page itself. If you are recommending that a template be speedily deleted, please give the criterion that it meets.

Notifying related WikiProjects[edit]

WikiProjects are groups of editors that are interested in a particular subject or type of editing. If the article is within the scope of one or more WikiProjects, they may welcome a brief, neutral note on their project's talk page(s) about the TfD. You can use {{Tfd notice}} for this.

Tagging the nominated template's talk page with a relevant Wikiproject's banner will result in the template being listed in that project's Article Alerts automatically, if they subscribe to the system. For instance, tagging a template with {{WikiProject Physics}} will list the discussion in Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Article alerts.

Notifying substantial contributors to the template[edit]

While not required, it is generally considered courteous to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the template and its talkpage that you are nominating for discussion. To find the creator and main contributors, look in the page history or talk page.

At this point, you've done all you need to do as nominator. Sometime after seven days have passed, someone else will either close the discussion or, where needed, "relist" it for another seven days of discussion. (That "someone" may not be you, the nominator.)

Once you have submitted a template here, no further action is necessary on your part. If the nomination is successful it will be added to the Holding Cell until the change is implemented. There is no requirement for nominators to be part of the implementation process, but they are allowed to if they so wish.

Also, consider adding any templates you nominate to your watchlist. This will help ensure that your nomination tag is not mistakenly or deliberately removed.

Twinkle[edit]

Twinkle is a convenient tool that can perform many of the posting and notification functions automatically, with fewer errors and missed steps than manual editing. Twinkle does not notify WikiProjects, although many of them have automatic alerts. It is helpful to notify any interested WikiProjects that don't receive alerts, but this has to be done manually.

Discussion[edit]

Anyone can join the discussion, but please understand the deletion policy and explain your reasoning.

People will sometimes also recommend subst or subst and delete and similar. This means the template text should be "merged" into the articles that use it. Depending on the content, the template page may then be deleted; if preserving the edit history for attribution is desirable, it may be history-merged with the target article or moved to mainspace and redirected.

Templates are rarely orphaned—that is, removed from pages that transclude them—before the discussion is closed. A list of open discussions eligible for closure can be found at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Old unclosed discussions.

Closing discussion[edit]

Administrators should read the closing instructions before closing a nomination. Note that WP:XFDcloser semi-automates this process and ensures all of the appropriate steps are taken.

Template:Texas–Permian Basin Falcons football coach navbox[edit]

Template:Nijisanji[edit]

This is a navbox that provides navigation between zero of its relevant articles. WP:EXISTING would suggest that most of the content in this navbox be cleared in a similar vein to Template:Hololive Production, to prioritize the titles that exist on Wikipedia, but there are none that do. After such a purge, there'd be nothing left.

This template is only used on two pages: Nijisanji, and then randomly on Internet celebrity, which I'm not sure how it ended up there as Nijisanji doesn't get mentioned on that page. Utopes (talk / cont) 07:45, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Regardless of its usage, the template provides massive clutter but no actual navigation links except in the "Related entries" tab, and fails the purpose of a navbox. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 10:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Welcome-arbpia[edit]

Per WP:CTOP, only officially designated templates can be used to alert an editor to a contentious topic. This unfortunately contradicts this, although I commend the effort made to attempt to be less bitey to newcomers. Awesome Aasim 16:11, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I use this template quite a lot but always in conjunction with the official template, just for new users that venture into the AI/IP area and cannot be expected to "get" the complications of Arbpia/CT and WP:ARBECR right off the bat. I don't use it for editors that have already met the requirements for editing in the topic area, for those only the official template. It is on balance useful even if some editors do not get that either. If it would go away, I would probably go back to just adding the same kind of thing as a plain text addition to the official template, so why not just leave this be? If not, then probably we need an official version.Selfstudier (talk) 16:47, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I use this template frequently as well but never without also adding the official template. It's great to have this option to kindly welcome new users trying to edit in the topic area in addition to the official template. If anything the language in this template could be incorporated into the official template which would require a broader discussion than this. Philipnelson99 (talk) 16:54, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
and I don't believe this template is intended to replace the official CTOP warning. Philipnelson99 (talk) 16:55, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed it is not per

Not intended to replace, but rather give some information in plain language before the "The Arbitration Committee has authorized sanctions" legalese starts.

I don't disagree with this; I just think that deviation from a formalized process that has been discussed by the community and agreed upon by ArbCom should not be done without good reason. This is a good question to raise on Wikipedia talk:Arbitration Committee - if there can be a way to get editors aware while not sounding super harsh. Maybe ArbCom creates a {{welcome-ct}} template. Awesome Aasim 00:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I brought this up at WT:ACN here, and it was discussed there and the village pump. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 02:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This template is a lot more clear on the requirements than the official one. The only problem I have is that it looks like overkill to place this one as well as the official one. A better solution would be to get changes to the official template to make it as user-friendly as this one. Meanwhile I don't think this one should be deleted. Zerotalk 06:26, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I concur with the comments above, this template should be used as inspiration to make the official one more user-friendly. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 10:55, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Miranda M Shaw and Bangiya Shahitya Parishad is mentioned in Charyapada article "As songs of realization, the Caryāpada were intended to be sung. These songs of realisation were spontaneously composed verses that expressed a practitioner's experience of the enlightened state. Miranda Shaw describes how songs of realization were an element of the ritual gathering of practitioners in a ganachakra:" and "The original palm-leaf manuscript of the Charyapada, or Caryācaryāviniścaya, spanning 47 padas (verses) along with a Sanskrit commentary, was edited by Shastri and published from Bangiya Sahitya Parishad as a part of his Hajar Bacharer Purano Bangala Bhasay Bauddhagan O Doha (Buddhist Songs and Couplets) in 1916 under the name of Charyacharyavinishchayah. This manuscript is presently preserved at the National Archives of Nepal.".

  • "The mystical poems of the Charyapada are believed to be written by some ascetics in the Vajrayana tradition of Buddhism. It is believed by many scholars that these poems were first composed, then sung, and later written (between the 6th and 12th centuries). The language was a kind of Abahatta that was the precursor of many Eastern Indo-Aryan languages including the Assamese, Bengali, Odia, Magahi, and Maithili. Hence the unending debate whether each of these languages had originated from the same source or not.

The discovery of the Charyapada is credited to the early 20th-century scholar Haraprasad Shastri who bumped upon the palm-leaf manuscript at the Nepal Royal Court Library in 1907 and published in the form of a book in 1916 from Bangiya Sahitya Parishad as a part of his Hajar Bacharer Purano Bangala Bhasay Bauddhagan O Doha (Buddhist Songs and Couplets) under the name of Charyacharyavinishchayah. It is assumed that some scholars of Bengal and Mithila fled to Nepal and also to Tibet when the Turkic soldiers invaded Bengal in the 12th century A.D. The major poets or Siddhacharyas of Charyapada were Luipada, Chatillapada, Bhusukupada, and Kanhapada. All of them wrote in highly allegorical language while using riddling and often confusing terms infusing numerous religious symbologies and mysticism. Since the language of these hymns can only be moderately understood, it is called Sandhya Bhasha or the twilight language. The Charyapada hymns have been critically appreciated for their linguistic and literary values.[2] Bengali editor (talk) Sockstrike ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 00:33, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sarkar, Pabitra (12 February 2024). "Vangiya Sahitya Parishat, the first Bengal Academy of Literature". The Daily Star. Retrieved 10 April 2024. The Parishat also boasts a proud list of great publications, particularly those concerning old and middle Bengali literature. The Charyapadas, which carry the first samples of the earliest Bengali, is one such publication (1916). It was edited as Hajar Bachharer Puratan Bangala Bashay Bouddhagan O Doha by Haraprasad Shastri, who had discovered it in 1907 at the library of Nepal's Prime Minister. Another example is Shrikrishnakirtan, collected (1909) and edited (1916) by Basanta Ranjan Bidvatballabh.

Template:Animal actors[edit]

This navbox is not necessary IMO, as it essentially serves the purpose of a category. We already have a category and a page for animal actors, so we don't also need a navbox. Di (they-them) (talk) 00:07, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT, I would like to withdraw this nomination. As Randy Kryn pointed out, WP:CLN renders my concern moot. In addition, the navbox has been edited and is in much better shape than it was previously. Di (they-them) (talk) 03:18, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to withdraw it, Randy is misinterpreting the guideline. --woodensuperman 08:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And I think you are misinterpreting the guideline, please read it, and please don't ignore the nominator's comment about the navbox being in much better shape. As for categories, lists, and navboxes, of course all three are not needed in every case. But when all three do exist they, according to the guideline and commonsense, compliment each other and are not in conflict with each other. This animal actor navbox is a good guide to the subject and provides the topic with an easily viewed and easily understood Wikipedia map. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, there is nothing wrong with this navbox. As for having both a category and a navbox, please read WP:CLN which states: "Categories, lists, and navigation templates are three different ways to group and organize articles. Although they each have their own advantages and disadvantages, each method complements the others...Accordingly, these methods should not be considered in conflict with each other. Rather, they are synergistic, each one complementing the others." (boldface in original). Randy Kryn (talk) 00:56, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    You keep spouting the same spiel about WP:CLN but it seems like you haven't actually read it. Sometimes categories are appropriate where navboxes are not, and vice versa. The grouping of articles by one method neither requires nor forbids the use of the other methods for the same informational grouping. Instead, each method of organizing information has its own advantages and disadvantages, and is applied for the most part independently of the other methods. --woodensuperman 08:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • weak delete, seems strange that there are 10 entries in Category:Chimpanzee actors but currently only 7 "Non-human primates" in the navbox. seems like a maintenance headache to try to keep the category, list article, and navbox in sync. Frietjes (talk) 23:18, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Frietjes, thanks for pointing that out. The primate entries have been added (in one case removed, was Michael Jackson's chimpanzee Bubbles an actor?), so have addressed much of your concern. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:30, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    still a maintenance headache since there are still more missing. correcting this would require checking every entry in the category and in the list article and syncing with the template. Frietjes (talk) 23:35, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Done, at least as far as the list (have just synced the list with the navbox). Not really much of a headache at all, and similar to any other navbox which includes multiple entries (as all navboxes should). Will work on the category entries. The navbox could be further sectioned for accuracy and navigational ease (bears, etc.). Randy Kryn (talk) 23:37, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    and  Done for the categories and expanded the sections. Thanks Frietjes, your concern, now remedied, has helped to better this navbox. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:37, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Definitely better suited to category navigation. The articles do not refer to each other, the only association is tangential. We don't have a navbox for {{Human actors}}, no reason for the same logic not to apply here. --woodensuperman 08:19, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Human actors are a totally different topic. Dogs, bears, a crocodile and assorted other animals do not personally choose and endeavor to excel in a career in acting. These pets are made to act by their owners for personal profit. In any case, this is not a very large navbox, and if the Wikipedia collection of human actors included only 85 articles the topic would reasonably have a navbox, no? Randy Kryn (talk) 11:45, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I don't think so. They are not a defined set, inclusion here is tangential, they do not relate to one another. --woodensuperman 12:21, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They are not a defined set and do not relate to one another? They are animal actors. What else do you need? Perplexed in Portsmouth, Randy Kryn (talk) 12:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And categorising animal actors as such is fine for categories, but it does not make a good navbox. Keiko (orca) and Trigger (horse) have nothing in common other than this tangential intersection. --woodensuperman 12:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm actually not understanding how your reasoning works on this. The topic is "Animal actors", which include both Keiko and Trigger. What do they have in common? Being animals, and being actors. And again, and I'm sure I don't need to remind you, WP:CLN specifically says not to pit categories and navboxes against each other, but correctly tel us that they compliment each other and work in tandem. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:20, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, they are are animals and actors. But that's not a reason to have a navbox for this, when a category is more appropriate. Why should we have different rules for human actors and animal actors? You are cherry-picking WP:CLN again, which clearly states: The grouping of articles by one method neither requires nor forbids the use of the other methods for the same informational grouping. Instead, each method of organizing information has its own advantages and disadvantages, and is applied for the most part independently of the other methods. There are advantages for a category or a list here, but it is not appropriate for a navbox. No-one needs to navigate between Keiko and Trigger in this manner. --woodensuperman 08:22, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. Izno (talk) 17:20, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - There is long-standing precedent that seemingly duplicative lists, categories, and templates all serve distinct niches in our navigation framework and all serve to present content to interested readers in different formats. I would also argue that people concerned about animal rights and the potential exploitation of working animals would find a great deal of correspondence in the working conditions of cetaceans, non-human primates, elephants, etc., and may very well appreciate having all out animal actor articles available to them in one topic box. jengod (talk) 04:45, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    No, it doesn't have the same issues as the nomination (that's why it was withdrawn). The addition of more groupings improved the navbox to the extent that the nom was voided. That you still objected is tangential to that action. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:28, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    As well as misinterpreting WP:CLN you seem to be misinterpreting the WP:Deletion process too. The nom is not in any way void. How is my !vote tangential? --woodensuperman 12:32, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    What is tangential is saying that the navbox "has exactly the same issues". No, it doesn't, it was nominated on a set of concerns which were remedied. Your concerns are of a different nature than the nomination, that's what I meant. Randy Kryn (talk) 12:52, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    It was nominated because it is better suited to a category. These concerns have not been remedied as it is still better suited to a category. --woodensuperman 12:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Please read WP:CLN, where it's clear that categories, navboxes, and lists should be considered as complimentary to each other and work together. It is your opinion that this topic should stay limited to a category, but myself and a few other editors see the quality of the topic in the navbox. If a good percentage of commenting editors notice that value then shouldn't the readers be allowed to experience the same value? Randy Kryn (talk) 15:39, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    For the third (!) time: The grouping of articles by one method neither requires nor forbids the use of the other methods for the same informational grouping.

    This discussion seems mooted by Pinquinn's "ah-ha!" moment point just below, but probably appropriate to include this quote from WP:CLN for those who haven't read it: "Instead, each method of organizing information has its own advantages and disadvantages, and is applied for the most part independently of the other methods following the guidelines and standards that have evolved on Wikipedia for each of these systems. Accordingly, these methods should not be considered in conflict with each other. Rather, they are synergistic, each one complementing the others." Randy Kryn (talk) 23:54, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep compliments the category by grouping the actors by the type of animal, whereas there are only four subcategories in Category:Animal actors for specific animals. This therefore adds information not found in the category system and justifies its existence under CLN. Pinguinn 🐧 22:20, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Already covered entirely by {{Uw-hoax}}; there is no reason for there to be a specific UW template for intentionally fake and made-up hoax versions of Windows (WNR seems to mean Windows Never Released). Very likely to never be used. See {{Uw-wnr1}}. WhoAteMyButter (🌷talk│🌻contribs) 04:32, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment This template refers to "WNR/NROS" but doesn't define what this term refers to, like is it a policy page? The template would be pretty meaningless without an explanation provided. This term is used with all of the other similar templates nominated now for discussion. Liz Read! Talk! 05:23, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • information Administrator note I am being slightly BOLD and combining these five nominations, as they are one template family and have been nominated with identical rationales. Original nominations can be seen in Special:Permalink/1219376816#Template:Uw-wnr4im. Primefac (talk) 11:38, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, no reason for an over-specific version of {{Uw-hoax}}. Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 13:46, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment User:User2802.172 has removed the TfD notices from all 5 templates. I will revert after writing this but I would like to know what the reason is. Nickps (talk) 09:46, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:HK-MTR route title[edit]

Redundant to MTR line articles. Using the infobox is ok. 阿南之人 (talk) 10:23, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Major Leagues[edit]

Propose merging Template:Major Leagues with Template:Top-level sport leagues in the United States.
Redundant and could be easily incorporated. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:18, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete {{Top-level sport leagues in the United States}} instead. There is no corresponding article, and as WikiOriginal-9 points out, it seems a bit random. --woodensuperman 11:09, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge The major leagues are the top level leagues and the top-level navbox should be for the top sports like baseball, football, basketball, soccer, hockey. Fencing, swimming, eating, and gaming are not really sports in terms of major league sports. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:28, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably Template:Walt Disney Studios Park will be moved to this space once the park is officially renamed in 2025. This is 100% jumping the gun. GSK (talk • edits) 00:49, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
