Propose merging Template:WikiLove with Template:Blank WikiLove.
Two templates that both style themselves as the meta template for WikiLove banners. Sdkb talk 21:38, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
- Merge into Template:WikiLove. No real reason to keep both, and the one I created in 2008(!) hasn't been touched since 2013 so I assume that's not the one people are actually using. — Fox 21:57, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

Unused release version template. Gonnym (talk) 08:42, 23 August 2025 (UTC)
- Keep: in case used. 22f (Talk💬 • Contributions✏️) 01:46, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
- We don't keep stuff around "in case" they are used. If you feel it should be used, then use it. If it then gets reverted, then the community might not want it. Gonnym (talk) 07:52, 25 August 2025 (UTC)
- In particular, if this was created as something similar to Template:Current iOS, note that Template:Current iOS stores the current stable version of iOS for use in "articles about iPhones that support the current version of iOS", so that, instead of having the current iOS that those phones use being explicitly stated in the article, and thus requiring that the article be updated when a new version is released, the article can use use the template, and only the template needs to be updated. This is not, as far as I know, an issue for preview releases, as:
- the current iPhone doesn't ship with a preview version, it ships with the current stable version, so that's what you'll get when you buy a new iPhone;
- most users won't install a preview version, they will, at most, update to the new stable version when it's released;
- so the current preview doesn't seem to be worthy of note in iPhone 16 or other such pages.
- @22f: So what is the purpose for which you created this template? And why isn't it being used for that purpose? Guy Harris (talk) 08:12, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

- I have been watching this template for a little while, and while I think it has probably been good for 22f to learn how templates work, I cannot see a practical use for it. — HTGS (talk) 05:24, 28 August 2025 (UTC)

- Template:Aviation accidents and incidents in Puerto Rico (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template has been superseded by a catch-all U.S. territorial template; currently only transcluded by a draft article Frank(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion) 06:11, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

- Keep There doesn’t exist Template:Aviation accidents and incidents in the United States. The United States templates are split for every decade. I like to see them all for this country in one template. 95.98.65.177 (talk) 18:34, 2 September 2025 (UTC)
- The main reason why the United States template is split by decade is that having one template for the entire country would result in an unreasonably large size - some of the templates in this series, alone, would occupy more than half the display of a 1920-by-1080 screen at a small text size.
- This is intended as a consolidated fork for aviation accidents in the US that aren't in the fifty states or DC. Frank(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion) 06:44, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
