Unnecessary and single-use template. Subst on main article and delete. Article does not have an article size issue that warrants a separate infobox template. Not to mention this was created back in May when the conflict began. WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:08, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Subst and delete per nomination. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:37, 27 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I cannot see the point of this. The "Quisling regime" was not a country, and Norway as a country has never, ever used the red and yellow/gold flag. Geschichte (talk) 22:02, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unused moving image template that should never replace the image in any of our templates. There is no reason for this distracting moving image to appear for the purge link (which is never the main feature of any page, but hidden tool). Gonnym (talk) 11:32, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Completely agree with nominator. Unhelpful and shouldn't be used! Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:54, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Why shouldn't it be used? And why should, let's say, {{Purge button}} be used instead? --Grufo (talk) 00:40, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Moving images are distracting, unlike a static image. The purge button is never the main part of a page, so it shouldn't bring attention to itself. Gonnym (talk) 16:07, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is completely pointless in wikicode. If you want to create a newline, use enter. If you want to create a list, use a list template such as {{Plainlist}}. If you want to create a visual break that doesn't violate the MoS, use br tags. Gonnym (talk) 11:26, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's a metatemplate created to facilitate code clarity and preserve indentation in complex scenarios. Normally it would not be used directly in a page. Compare writing
{{My template 1
	| foo = bar
	| {{My template 2
		| chop = chop
		| list = * One{{brwl}}* Two{{brwl}}* Three
		| carpe = diem
	}}
	| hello = world
}}
with writing
{{My template 1
	| foo = bar	
	| {{My template 2
		| chop = chop
		| list = * One
* Two
* Three
		| carpe = diem
	}}
	| hello = world
}}

I'm completely fine with the second scenario. Even more so when you learn you can use comments to preserve spaces, which don't require calling pointless templates that eat up the post-expand size. Gonnym (talk) 06:53, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete such an absurd template. Nominator explained it perfectly. Not useful or helpful in any way. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:53, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting strong stance. Then I guess you would also prefer
{{My template 1
	| foo = bar	
	| {{My template 2
		| chop = chop
		| list = {{#invoke:string|replace|{{{1}}}|
|<br />||true}}
		| carpe = diem
	}}
	| hello = world
}}
over,
{{My template 1
	| foo = bar	
	| {{My template 2
		| chop = chop
		| list = {{#invoke:string|replace|{{{1}}}|{{brwl}}|<br />||true}}
		| carpe = diem
	}}
	| hello = world
}}
right? But, most importantly, how does this template forbid you to write a new line when you want to write a new line? And why do we have the {{br}} template and we are not rushing against that template to claim that everyone should write <br /> instead? --Grufo (talk) 00:35, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the article title to appear with quotes is not supported by Wikipedia:Article titles. A discussion should have first been held to change the guidelines before creating these two templates. Gonnym (talk) 11:22, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete wildly inappropriate and incorrect use of a template. This is borderline WP:ANI worthy actions by a brand new editor imposing their ideas on a large number of pages. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 07:38, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for the same reasons as given in the recent TFD for Use Singapore English. These should have been nominated at the same time. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:29, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. If the "Use Singaporean English" template is gone, this has no reason to stay either. Frank(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion) 04:45, 23 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
