• Template:Offset/test (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Module:Offset (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Module:Offset is only used on Template:offset/test, and Template:Offset is a redirect. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 15:39, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• @BrandonXLF: as the creator of this module, is there any use to this? You haven't commented. --Gonnym (talk) 09:19, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Gonnym: It is meant to be used with {{Current offset in time zone}}, {{Current minute offset in time zone}}, and {{Current hour offset in time zone}} etc.– BrandonXLF (talk) 17:52, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • If I had realized that, I would have probably nominated the entire batch of templates as "unused". When you create a module without any documentation, and use it in includeonly blocks in templates, and don't tag the templates with {{lua}}, misinterpretations happen. At this point, it's probably best to let this TfD finish and G8 the (unused) templates that use this module if it is closed as delete. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:07, 23 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:LucasArts game engines (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unnecessary navbox, with engines by one company, one of which is a redlink and do not particularly refer to one another. There's also already {{Video game engines}} soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 13:18, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Middle-earth races (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

All the entries on this template are included in Template:Middle-earth (which covers The Silmarillion and other books), and almost all are also in Template:Lord of the Rings, both of which are in wide use. I think we'd be better off without this template, which could simply redirect to the Middle-earth template. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:07, 8 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Issno (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Completely redundant/inferior to {{ISSN}}, created because someone didn't understand how to use {{ISSN}} of a very fixable issue. Possibly a case of WP:CSD#T3. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 19:28, 23 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. This template makes a necessary fix to {{ISSN}}, which currently gives broken results for newspapers (and anything else that isn't a journal). I am not the template creator, but I've previously raised this issue on Template talk:ISSN link, where the one response was opposed to the solution of replacing the Worldcat link with issn.org. (Another solution would be to have a param that would replace "jrnl", e.g. with "news" for newspaper.) AFAICT the creator created this template in order to illustrate the issue, so it's a little unclear why it's being TFD'd before the problem has been resolved. If people want to keep the existing journal-specific behavior of {{ISSN}}, then we're going to need some other template for non-journals -- in that case I imagine we'd want to have this template handy as a starting point. -- Visviva (talk) 04:43, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
