Category talk:Untranscluded templates

RFD discussion: March 2023–March 2024
See also: RFD of Category:Uncategorized templates

Redundant and inferior to Special:UnusedTemplates. The category describes itself as containing templates that are not transcluded anywhere (exactly what the special page is for), but contains only twelve of the thousands of such templates listed at the special page. IMO the automatic nature of the special page makes it clearly superior to manual categorization.

Category:Untranscluded templates is not to be confused with Category:Unused templates, which is supposed to contain templates that are not transcluded anywhere in mainspace.

 * Do we have a category for templates that are designed to be substituted? Admittedly, the use of substitution (subst:) is much rarer on Wiktionary compared to Wikipedia, but still, it would be nice to categorise these templates so we know when a template should not be deleted for lack of use.

 * @This, that and the other Yes, we do, although it is suspiciously sparse. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (ta&middot;co) 20:58, 14 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete, redundant to category and unmaintainable; we also create reference templates that might be used in the future. Fay Freak (talk) 00:06, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I've depopulated the category so that it can be deleted. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (ta&middot;co) 01:00, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
