RFD discussion: October 2020[edit]

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.


There are two parallel sets of form-of templates, e.g. {{ja-punctuation mark}} and {{pt-diacritical mark}}. All are implemented, respectively, using {{meta-punctuation mark}} and {{meta-diacritical mark}}, and none of them do anything useful. The templates take at most three parameters, |head=, |tr= and |sc=, and pass them directly to {{head}}. Any occurrence of Template:*-punctuation mark can easily be replaced with {{head|*|punctuation mark}}, and likewise for Template:*-diacritical mark. Furthermore, these templates are barely used: there are 54 Template:*-diacritical mark templates, which are collectively used on 57 pages, and 19 Template:*-punctuation mark templates, which are collectively used on 100 pages. This appears to be an experiment on the part of User:Daniel Carrero, which didn't really work out. Benwing2 (talk) 20:31, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Abstain. As the creator of these templates, I don't mind if they are kept or deleted. People, feel free to do as you wish with them. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 21:09, 10 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
