this has been deprecated for some time as redundant to "Geobox{{!}}protected area". I have replaced the remaining 300 transclusions, so this can be safely deleted (or redirected). Frietjes (talk) 17:22, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

unused, redundant to (and replaced by) the more commonly used {{tl|location map}} system Frietjes (talk) 15:51, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

:No objection, as long as legacy uses of {{tl|Geobox}} are not broken by the change, meaning all parameter values used to call Geobox locator templates are correctly translated by the Geobox template code to the equivalent Location Map call (or that old Geobox locator parameter values are changed by a bot to new Location Map parameter values); that the pages Template:Geobox/legend and other references pages such as Template:Geobox/type/river, Template:Geobox/sample and Template:Geobox/doc/River are updated to indicate that new uses of Geobox should use parameters calling the correct Location Map template. Frietjes, I see you have been working on the Geobox template code, but I regret I am not skilled enough to know if the changes you have been making in fact address some of my points.--papageno (talk) 06:40, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

::papageno, yes, I have only nominated ones which have already been converted to use the {{para|pushpin_map}} syntax. I will update the documentation as you suggested. Frietjes (talk) 19:32, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

:::Thanks, I see how you've replaced things on some articles using the Geobox locators that you are proposing deleting her. For example, converting from {{tl|Geobox locator California}} to {{tl|Location map USA California}} at the article Deadman Creek (Owens River) via {{Diff|Main Page|prev|753936221|this edit}}. I gather your goal is to replace all {{Cl|Geobox locator|Geobox locator templates}} with {{Cl|Location map templates|Location map templates}}. I think it makes sense to also add a comment to the Talk page for Geobox to perhaps solicit more input, so I have just done that. Please correct anything I have mischaracterized there. {{Smiley}} --papageno (talk) 04:40, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

• {{Tfd links|IPsockCheckuser}}

This exposes Checkuser info to non-Checkusers. KATMAKROFAN (talk) 15:41, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

• Keep unless the CUs support deletion. They know the policy well, and if they say that this isn't a violation, we shouldn't tell them otherwise. I've left notes on five CUs' talk pages asking them to come here, and if they advocate deletion, I'll switch my vote. Nyttend (talk) 13:03, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
• Delete unless CUs say otherwise. It looks to me like this is a deprecated template which predates the advice in the Checkuser policy to not disclose accounts' IP addresses, as all the transclusions that I checked seem to be from 2007-2008 or so, but I can't confirm any of this timeline. It's pretty clear that its use presently would violate the policy. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:40, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
• Delete. I didn't know that this template existed. There's no reason for it to exist.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:47, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
• Delete. This can be performed by {{tl|IPsock}}, if required. Checkusers have confirmed IP addresses, and can under the [https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy privacy policy] and [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Access_to_nonpublic_information_policy data access policy], though it is described in policy as "extremely rare". Most of the current uses of this template have had no checkuser input, so are incorrectly applied, plus I also get concerned when a template's main editor is blocked for sockpuppetry. Ultimately though, apart from the incorrect applications, it's a legacy template and no checkuser is likely to use this template going forward. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 14:23, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
• Delete, but the nomination statement makes an incorrect assumption. The template itself doesn't expose CheckUser information.
  This template was created by an apparent sockpuppet account, has been edited by only one CU, and, I didn't go through all 270+ transclusions but, it has probably never been used by a CU. I would like to see this deleted because 1. there is pretty much zero chance that it will be used by any CU today, and 2. I almost never advise tagging IP socks anyway. Also, please delete all of the IP user pages tagged with this when the template is deleted. ​—DoRD (talk)​ 14:36, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
• Delete per my comments above, since checkusers are supporting deletion. Nyttend (talk) 14:50, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
• Delete this and all of the uses of the template on user pages, per DoRD. Risker (talk) 14:56, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
• Delete promotes the tagging of IP socks which is often/usually not advised. Sydney Poore/FloNight♥♥♥♥ 16:32, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
