Template talk:n-th

Apparently abandoned, incomplete. DCDuring TALK 17:54, 2 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. A little bit of {&#x7B;#expr: magic could be used to complete it (provided we're O.K. with e.g. 1st rather than first), but it's hard to imagine what it would be used for. —Ruakh TALK 19:24, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I think I speak for everyone when I say, what's the f*cking point of it? Mglovesfun (talk) 21:22, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * If we knew that, we wouldn't be RfDing it. DCDuring TALK 22:41, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * We can nominate things for deletion even when we know what they are. Mglovesfun (talk) 22:42, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * These appear to be defective. If we had Category:Defective templates, I suppose we could so categorize it. Should we? Should we keep them for educational purposes? "Sharpen your template skills by fixing this template!" DCDuring TALK 23:16, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
 * De-defectivized. So it's no longer useful as a challenge. Can we delete it now? —Ruakh TALK 01:48, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Except for 11 and 12. DCDuring TALK 02:40, 3 July 2012 (UTC)


 * The only use I can see for this template is to have other templates take numbers as parameters e.g. for clarifying nouns as 'nth declension' ( is marginally easier to type than ), and have those templates feed those numbers to this template and return the appropriate ordinals... but could just do the conversion in that case, now couldn't it? Delete. - -sche (discuss) 02:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, it could, but only if it's the only such template. If there are several (which is conceivable in a case like this) then it would lead to duplication of code, which is a bad thing. 10:30, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Is there any difference between and ? If not, and if it's decided this is a useful thing to have about the house, at the very least  should redirect to  rather than being a separate template, shouldn't it? —Angr 10:47, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Before the recent modification, N-th converted "1" to "First", n-th to "first". DCDuring TALK 11:40, 4 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Tagged to be speedy deleted. First one to delete them (with documentation) gets a free cookie. --ElisaVan (talk) 10:27, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
