If process guidelines are met, move templates to the appropriate subsection here to prepare to delete. Before deleting a template, ensure that it is not in use on any pages (other than talk pages where eliminating the link would change the meaning of a prior discussion), by checking Special:Whatlinkshere for '(transclusion)'. Consider placing {{Being deleted}} on the template page.

Tools

There are several tools that can help when implementing TfDs. Some of these are listed below.

• Template linking and transclusion check - Toolforge tool to see which pages are transcluded but not linked from/to a template
• AutoWikiBrowser – Semi-automatic editor that can replace or modify templates using regular expressions
• Bots – Robots editing automatically. All tasks have to be approved before operating. There are currently four bots with general approval to assist with implementing TfD outcomes:
  • AnomieBOT - substituting templates via User:AnomieBOT/TFDTemplateSubster
  • SporkBot - general TfD implementation run by Plastikspork
  • PrimeBOT - general TfD implementation run by Primefac
  • BsherrAWBBOT – general TfD implementation run by Bsherr

To review

Templates for which each transclusion requires individual attention and analysis before the template is deleted.

• Template:Fb_cl_header2018 April 19 – Fb_cl_header ( links | transclusions | talk | doc | sandbox | testcases )

  Would it be possible for a bot to convert the transclusions of these templates to Module:Sports table? S.A. Julio (talk) 23:50, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Should be doable, yes. Primefac (talk) 00:22, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  I could probably do something while I am converting all the {{Fb team}} templates. But, I will have to see how complicated the code is. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 00:36, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  @Plastikspork and Primefac: Can your bots using Module:Sports table instead in this case, such as [1]? Hhhhhkohhhhh (talk) 04:14, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  Hhhhhkohhhhh, sure. That particular template only had one use, and that use was in userspace, and the title of the page was "concept", so I didn't bother to fully convert it. But in general, the plan is to convert the various table/cl header/cl footer/cl team templates to use sports table. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 12:41, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  I am replacing all of these fb templates Frietjes (talk) 15:08, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Frietjes What is the status for the last 280? Looks like they only use the header and not the row templates making it basically necessary to do it manually (or at least largely manually). Is this the case and do you plan on tackling these? If you are not I'm considering going for them as a break from all the aircraft specs. --Trialpears (talk) 22:56, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  I am still replacing all of these. as people spot raw tables, they are replacing the table headers with the {{fb cl header}} template since they know I will convert it to Module:Sports table eventually. so, the number left on the list is not monotonically decreasing, but will eventually converge to zero. I scripts to assist with the conversion, but there is also manual checking to make sure the team abbreviations are consistent, and that the various columns sum to consistent numbers. I check the sources when the numbers don't add up. Frietjes (talk) 23:06, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Oh wow, I just noticed that the count hadn't really been going down so thought you ran into some issue or something. By the way, shouldn't it be possible to detect empty tables using regex searches or at least a quarry? Just a (probably mistaken) thought. Keep up the great work! --Trialpears (talk) 09:46, 28 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm giving this another go with an extra year of experience and this time it seems a lot more manageable. I've made a mostly working AWB setup based on my old bot code for Aircraft specifications. Should be done with that run in a few days. Aerospecs should be about the same complexity but with significantly more transclusions. --Trialpears (talk) 22:45, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Pigsonthewing, a mapping for the params would help for this. I don't know anything about trains, but here's what I've figured out so far:

        # Wheels (should wheelbase sub-params be used in [[Template:Infobox locomotive]]?)

    }

• A number aren't documented in Infobox Schienenfahrzeug, others I can't figure out the proper mapping. Those would be any empty with '' or with comments left after #. This also isn't a complete list of all params, just a handful I found were common across ~5 transclusions I checked. I imagine a mapping of these should be enough to handle the majority of templates, and rest can be done by hand. Would appreciate a hand filling in the blanks, and checking over the mappings made.

  @ProcrastinatingReader: Please see User:Slambo/DE infobox. Does that answer your questions? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 15:32, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Pigsonthewing, thanks for that! Yes, it fills in most of my list. Some further params didn't match up, so I made some educated guesses. There's a number which need to be added to {{Infobox locomotive}} on that list (ignoring the train infobox for now). Perhaps it's faster to just add the most common ones, as I think a number aren't used. Some adjustments to existing params would help too (eg I've made a request at Template talk:Infobox locomotive for a change to cylindersize).

  Besides the ones that need to be added/adjusted, an immediate issue that pops up to me is that the page maps 'Brennstoff' to 'fueltype', but a number of pages use this param as if it were 'fuelcap' instead, e.g. DRG Class 05. Also, is "Wheel arrangement" necessarily always Whyte and never AAR?

  Also pinging Slambo, since you have more experience with this template (and can edit it), if you'd be willing to add/adjust those parameters to infobox locomotive? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 19:31, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: Thank you! Let myself or Gonnym know if you have any questions. I hope my table above will be useful in figuring out what needs to be kept, replaced, or outright deleted.

I'll have to re-think the usage of the bot, though... {{Infobox reality talent competition}} is an infobox proper, while {{Infobox reality competition season}} is designed as a child/subbox. Some might be easy enough to convert into an {{infobox television}} usage, such as at Singapore Idol, but in places like World Idol it will need merging into the main IB. Primefac (talk) 15:53, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. Whatever had {{Infobox reality talent competition}} will ultimately now need to have {{Infobox television season}} as the infobox proper, and the {{Infobox reality competition season}} as a child/subbox through |module1=. If I can help define or clarify anything for you to help you with the bot, let me know. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 02:19, 24 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Doing... TheTVExpert (talk) 15:18, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've written some regex for AWB but my problem is that I don't know how (or even if it's possible) to set a whole row as a conditional check. Currently this fails if the template isn't written in this exact order. Any ideas? @Primefac: have any ideas?

Find: \{\{Infobox reality talent competition\n.*\|.*name.*=.*\n.*\|.*logo.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*logo_alt.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*first_aired.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*last_aired.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*judges.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*coaches.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*host.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*cohost.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*broadcaster.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*competitors.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*finalsvenue.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*num_tasks.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*image.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*caption.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*winner-name .*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*winner-origin.*=\s?(.*)\n\|winner-genre.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*winner-song.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*runner-name.*=\s?(.*)\n.*\|.*runner-image.*=\s?(.*)\n\}\}

Replace: {{Infobox television season\n| image = $1\n| image_alt = $2\n| module1 = {{Infobox reality competition season \n | host = $7\n | judges = $5\n | num_contestants = $10\n | winner = $15\n | runner_up = $19\n}}\n| network = $9\n| first_aired = $3\n| last_aired = $4\n}} --Gonnym (talk) 21:27, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oof, that's a bit nuts. I'll try to dig into that regex soon, but I'm starting to think that using an AWB module to save, store, and modify those parameters to convert the template use might be the best way forward. The other thing we should probably do is find out where the template is used alongside {{infobox television}}, since we shouldn't convert it to "season" if that's there (instead, just folding it in). Primefac (talk) 22:10, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gonnym and Primefac: maybe an oversimplification, but since {{Infobox reality talent competition}} is now converted into a full wrapper, can't we just subst it? (after cleaning it up for subst, ofc)? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 15:28, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Template substitution isn't my strong side so if you know how to do it, then I'm all for it. --Gonnym (talk) 11:47, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I know how to turn it into a subst-able wrapper, however I don't know how if it achieves the acceptable results here. Primefac has looked at specific cases above it seems, so he may be better placed than me to answer that part. But if it works, that makes achieving the merge easier than regex-hell. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 23:27, 8 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In a word, yes; I think cleaning up post-merge will be easier than all of the complex silliness above. I'll put it on my list of things to do. Right after I make my list of things to do... Primefac (talk) 15:45, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gonnym and Favre1fan93: I've made a substable wrapper in the sandbox based on your wrapper. Go to any transclusion, plug a /sandbox on the end (or change to {{Infobox reality talent competition/sandbox}} if it's using a redirect) and preview. This should be how it looked pre-wrapper. Then chuck a subst: in front and preview, and this is how it'd look being substed. By my eye, testing on a couple of pages, this all looks correct, however the winner's national origin isn't being mapped in the wrapper (Gonnym?).

   Comment: these templates should probably be converted to use a new Module:Spoken Wikipedia. Supporting arbitrary number of files in {{Spoken Wikipedia}} won't be great, implementation wise. —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:22, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Hmm. Why do you feel a module is needed? Certainly the non-filename unnamed params in the target template will have to be renamed to named params during the merge, but other than that why can't we have an arbitrary number of files based on unnamed params? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 16:39, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  ProcrastinatingReader, because to create a list of the files, every parameter will need to be checked with an {{#if:..., something like this:

  ...{{#if:{{{1|}}} |# [[File:{{{1}}}]]}}<!--
  -->{{#if:{{{2|}}} |# [[File:{{{2}}}]]}}<!--
  -->{{#if:{{{3|}}} |# [[File:{{{3}}}]]}}<!--
  ...
  

  At least I don't know of a nicer way of doing it. —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:45, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  If a alternative is proposed or such wikitext is acceptable, I won't insist on a Lua rewrite. —⁠andrybak (talk) 16:47, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Well yeah (or {{for loop}}), but given that {{Spoken_Wikipedia-5}} only has 3 transclusions I don't think having this limited to a finite number (of, say, 5) is too broad of an issue for the time being. A module would allow unlimited unnamed params (and hence files), but it doesn't seem like there's a use-case for much beyond a few. Using {{for loop}} we could easily extend this to a larger finite number. I've no issue with a module either, but it seems like slightly more work than just condensing the logic into the target template. Though, if someone wants to do that work, that's all good with me. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 16:50, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To convert

Templates for which the consensus is that they ought to be converted to some other format are put here until the conversion is completed.

  • Trappist the monk good catch on the tagging (I should've read the XFDc fineprint). Tried to use 'custom' to get around a single target, although probably should've just selected each individually or chose no automated actions. I'm not sure if any should be tagged, or with what template. I guess for the hyphened versions {{Being deleted}} may be appropriate, but at the same time feels inaccurate & may cause alarm. I've removed the tagging from the other set as well after noticing, feel free to restore if you think it's appropriate, but I think it's probably unnecessary on those too as this is mostly a holding cell task.

To substitute

Templates for which the consensus is that all instances should be substituted (e.g. the template should be merged with the article or is a wrapper for a preferred template) are put here until the substitutions are completed. After this is done, the template is deleted from template space.

  • Note there is a concern raised by an editor on the closer's talk regarding this close. It may be appropriate to hold off doing this until a response, to ensure there is confidence in the close. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 16:02, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • While we're waiting for the closer to respond, could we have a quick straw poll on the best replacement for {{Lcfirstitalictitle}}. The options I can see are:
      1. {{Lowercase italic title}}
      2. {{Lowercase title|italic=yes}}
      3. {{Italic title|lowercase=yes}}
      4. {{DISPLAYTITLE:''foobar''}}

      • My argument for substing and deleting was that the number of pages using this template is not sufficient to justify creating special syntax for it. Moving the template to a different name (1), or adding support for it to Template:Lowercase title (2) or Template:Italic title (3) do not resolve that concern, leaving using DISPLAYTITLE directly (4) as my preference. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 03:22, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • I'm happy with 1, 2 & 3. Why support wouldn't be added doesn't make sense to me. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 10:45, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • {{Italic title|lowercase=yes}} seems good. --Gonnym (talk) 12:29, 4 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      • Adding that I myself prefer #1, as it's simplest to carry out and results in the clearest wikitext. Barring that, #2 should be preferable to #3 as it involves making changes to the "smaller" template (adding code to a template that's used on almost a million pages may not be the best idea). – Uanfala (talk) 20:09, 7 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

To orphan

These templates are to be deleted, but may still be in use on some pages. Somebody (it doesn't need to be an administrator, anyone can do it) should fix and/or remove significant usages from pages so that the templates can be deleted. Note that simple references to them from Talk: pages should not be removed. Add on bottom and remove from top of list (oldest is on top).

• None currently

Ready for deletion

Templates for which consensus to delete has been reached, and for which orphaning has been completed, can be listed here for an administrator to delete. Remove from this list when an item has been deleted. See also {{Deleted template}}, an option to delete templates while retaining them for displaying old page revisions.
