Recently, {{tl|1==}} became a magic word. This means that any use of {{tl|eq}} in any form will lead to issues with :Category:Pages which use a template in place of a magic word regardless of how it's used. The redirect is also not currently used in capacity. I suggest deleting it to avoid encouraging calling magic words through templates. Aidan9382 (talk) 13:48, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: Per nominator. A largely unused template that links to a now magic word is no longer helpful. TartarTorte 15:52, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: This definitely shouldn't be a redirect at this point because the content of Template:= is somewhat technically sensitive (due to being one of the few template names that's special-cased by the software). We'd have to either duplicate the template or delete the redirect, and it doesn't make much sense to have a template that duplicates a magic word (especially when its name is longer and less clear than the alternative, yet short enough to confuse many people who might see it). --ais523 16:38, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
- Question: Should {{tl|Equal}} and {{tl|Equals}} be included in this nomination? – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:30, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- :Yes. Looking at a similar template, Template:!, it has no redirects. I imagine it had at least one if not more. Gonnym (talk) 07:19, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
:Delete this and any redirect to the template. Gonnym (talk) 07:20, 6 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all as part of the deprecation process for :Template:=. It is no longer a template, thus is should not have redirects to it like one. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 02:41, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting to add Template:Equal and Template:Equals
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, signed, Rosguill talk 18:42, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all after above discussion. Both Equal and Equals also fit under the reason for Eq, and should therefore be deleted along with it (I'm assuming a revote like this is allowed). Aidan9382 (talk) 19:14, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Comment Confirming my opinion that all redirects to :Template:= should be deleted if found. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 19:21, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
