• {{Tfd links|WikiProject Sports|type=merge}}

Propose merging Template:WikiProject Handball with Template:WikiProject Sports.

WikiProject Handball transcludes WikiProject Sports with the parameter Handball=yes, but WikiProject Sports does not have a Handball parameter. GoingBatty (talk) 18:33, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

:Apparently I created this many years ago as a redirect. No objection to it returning to same as long as this is done in such a way as to allow "handball" to be broken out in future whenever the handball fans get sufficiently organised to have their own sports subproject. Globally handball is pretty big, so we should allow for the possibility that its fans will eventually organise here. ϢereSpielChequers 20:45, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

:: Looks like our assumption was that the WP Sports template would mimic the behavior of e.g. Template:WikiProject Africa. So can someone with spare time just implement a stub of that on WP Sports instead? No links to 'task forces' or 'portals', just the indicator which sport it's about, like the indicator for |auto=. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 21:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

unneeded since we already have Template:Magical Mystery Tour. Frietjes (talk) 17:36, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

• {{Tfd links|Hope for Haiti Now track listing}}

only used in one article, and for good reason, since most of the songs were not written for this compilation album. if someone wants to know the other tracks on the album, then can, ... , click on the link for the album. Frietjes (talk) 17:31, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

• {{Tfd links|LACMTA link logo}}

This template is used to insert an image instead of text. This violates the Manual of Style and makes articles less accessible for the visually impaired. Regards, James(^talk/_contribs) 01:09, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

• Merge into {{tl|rail-interchange}}. Useddenim (talk) 01:24, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• Question: how many of the transclusions are into Navboxes and route diagrams, where the use of icons is perfectly acceptable? Useddenim (talk) 01:30, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• Keep Per the last sentence of the MOS image section. "Any important textual information in an image should also appear in the image's alt text, caption, or other nearby text." --TJH2018 (talk) 16:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• Keep This is not even "textual information" in the strict sense. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:35, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• Keep Precedent: see Template:Rail-interchange/doc/US, Template:Rail-interchange/doc/UK, Template:Rail-interchange/doc/CA, Template:Rail-interchange/doc/AU, etc. for other English-speaking examples, plus every foreign railroad and metro --Mjdestroyerofworlds (talk) 21:40, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• Keep – really, don't we have more important things to do than this?!... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:34, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• Keep. Precedent, use in navboxes and other such areas. If it's misused in article body text, fix it there. But the exact same template is also used in completely valid locations and deleting the entire template is overkill and incorrect. The proposed seems to have not done the background checks needed. oknazevad (talk) 21:41, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Unused and pointless navigational boxes. These templates just group together some other navboxes. The latter are sufficient on their own to provide navigation. --NSH002 (talk) 00:42, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

• Delete all. Where needed, grouping navboxes should be done with Template:Navboxes. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:48, 7 March 2016 (UTC) ({{small|1=modified by – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:03, 7 March 2016 (UTC)}})
• Delete as stated by others plus add {{t|United Kingdom & Ireland Radiotelevision Broadcasting}} to the list also. -- AxG / ✉ / 10 years of editing 15:05, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• note 3rd one added as requested -- NSH002 (talk) 15:59, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
• delete, better to place these in a more targeted manner. Frietjes (talk) 23:36, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
• Delete as unnecessary. Guy (Help!) 09:48, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
