This template is used to only show content in user space. It is currently used in 31 pages. 10 of them are in article space. Those 10 uses are actually very harmful as they hide actual article content. The sandbox uses seem to originate from Template:Article templates/generic article. I don't think having a box telling the editor that the article ends halfway into a page is correct, when the see also sections, ref, bib and everything else is also part of the article. It just seems pointless, just as it would be to place a box at the top stating "article starts here".

Finally Template:User other already does the logic of this template. I propose to delete the template and all current usages, while making sure the article content does not get deleted, only this template around it. Gonnym (talk) 09:27, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty of legitimate reasons to have alternate texts (one user may prefer the -short text over the -default text) and those alternate versions should be considered separately on their merits.

No one uses is the point and although the template document says it's for comparison, almost no one uses it for comparison. Did Q28 make a mess today? 05:39, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This and the other {{cite <whatever>/old}} templates listed on this page (could the proposer not have lumped them together into a single nomination?): Yes, they are rarely used but they are the historical wikisource references against which the initial Lua implementation of cs1 was judged and against which the current implementation may be compared. It is not necessary to publish a page with {{cite compare}} using one of these ~/old templates in order to see the comparison so I rarely do unless it is in discussion at Help talk:Citation Style 1. Do not delete these templates.
—Trappist the monk (talk) 11:09, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This template has been here before and was not deleted. Between then and now, {{cite compare}} has been modified so that ~/old cs1 templates are not automatically included in its rendering:
Cite DVD notes comparison
Wikitext {{cite DVD notes|title=Title}}
Old Title (Liner notes). 
Live Title (Media notes).
Sandbox Title (Media notes).
Because of that tfd, I added this to all of the {{cite <whatever>/old}} cs1 templates:
The addition of the {{mbox}} was an attempt to forestall future tfds for those templates. Clearly that did not work. Do not delete these templates. Q28, please withdraw these nominations.
—Trappist the monk (talk) 11:58, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all. What is the point in comparing a 6 year old templated version to a lua version? I get comparing a live version vs a sandbox version to see new changes, but I fail to see the value of a template like Template:Cite serial/old from 2015... Gonnym (talk) 13:07, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Editors occasionally appear at Help talk:Citation Style 1 with claims that {{cite <whatever>}} used to render or support or ... some |<parameter>= or something ... What happend? / Why doesn't it ... anymore? To answer them, I can state without offering any proof that what these editors claim is incorrect/inaccurate/.... Why should they believe me when I give them no proof? They would not have come to WT:CS1 were they not absolutely certain that their claim is correct so therefore, whatever I say is wrong unless I can demonstrate otherwise. Using the ~/old versions to render an example of {{cite <whatever>}} is as close to a definitive demonstration of how the template once rendered as is possible to achieve. Yeah, sure, these editors can:
  1. search the {{cite <whatever>}} history for a pre-lua version of the template
  2. edit that version of the template
  3. find an article that uses {{cite <whatever>}} and put that article's title in the Preview page with this template box
  4. click the adjacent Show preview button and observe the results
For those editors who are technically minded, the above is likely not a problem. For non-technical editors, it can be. It is easier for editors at WT:CS1 to show than it is for them to explain how non-technical editors can see for themselves.
Were the cs1|2 templates not so ubiquitous, I would be inclined to agree with you, but, being able to show rather than to explain how-to-see is better all 'round.

Delete. After a week of discussion and several keeps, none of the maps found a home. Claiming something is useful and it being actual useful are two different things. If a template isn't used in any article, it means the community as a whole has found it to be unwanted. Gonnym (talk) 08:43, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But there are links to them in the articles. Why is not that enough? If the problem is that they are not in any article, anyone can add it on their respective page.--Andres arg (talk) 22:18, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Are they being used within the articles to provide information or some sort of navigation? If they are just linked, then what good does it do if it's not part of the article? No point in having it if's not going to be used on the article. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:20, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
A template should be transcluded into an article, not hide article content. If the problem is that they are not in any article, anyone can add it on their respective page, then do so if you believe it belongs there. That's a true test to see if the community wants that template on the page. If it gets removed, then you get your answer. Gonnym (talk) 00:44, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep These are extremely useful for determining near real-time data. the War maps Haven't been updated in months and sometimes years while the Telepate is updated quite often so it's great when trying to make a map for people both in and out of the Wikipedia community.--Garmin21 (talk) 20:46, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep for the Yemeni Civil War detailed map, Weak Keep for the others. In my opinion WikiCleanerMan made a big error to include the YCW map along the others.

The Map you see when you click on a war article like the ones for Yemen, Somalia, Mali, and Tigray is based on the based off detailed map, in other words, you wouldn't have the map for those articles without the detailed map.--Garmin21 (talk) 04:30, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was merge to Template:United States fire departments. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 14:24, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Only one, the Wisconsin template, is unused. The rest contain fewer than five links needed for a navbox. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:35, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. This topic is not something I have additional knowledge so I can't tell if those sea of red links will ever be turned into blue links. But after a week of no participation then I'd say that the best option currently is to merge these all to Template:United States fire departments as each template alone does not have enough links and is pretty much pointless, but merged, offer some value. Gonnym (talk) 08:46, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's unlikely considering the history of the creation of these templates but merging to this new template with sections for each state for the respective fire departments that exist can make navigation easier for this time. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 15:18, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete. Only used in two articles (two years for the same club). Seems this template didn't catch on and I wonder if there is a different template all the other tables use? Gonnym (talk) 08:59, 6 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The first template is unused and contains either red links or non-related links. The four for the specific sports don't have the necessary amount of links to navigate with not counting the years of the events linked in the templates. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:57, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Q28 This template was designed to support wikiwidgets (interactive JavaScript widgets) but I never managed to enable them in the English Wikipedia (see my first and second try). You can see them live in the Spanish Wikipedia here or here. I think they are pretty cool, but if no one else cares, please go ahead and delete the template, cheers!

Adding a bit more: This template is redundant to Template:Draft article which already allows users to help draft articles.
