Template talk:shy

RFD discussion: September–October 2023
This template just produces a soft hyphen; its entire implementation is  (an HTML character reference for a soft hyphen). This means calling this template takes more characters than just using the character reference directly. The idea for this template came from Wikipedia, but their version can be used in more ways and is implemented by an entire module. Ours is static and totally unused outside of one editor's sandbox. I don't see any point in keeping what we have. &mdash; excarnateSojourner (talk &middot; contrib) 02:07, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * We probably have this because there is a tendency to prefer template wrappers over bare HTML. DCDuring (talk) 15:03, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete - there’s very little use for something like this. We use soft hyphens on a very small number of pages which have very long terms, but if we were to widen that then the handling should be automatic if possible. Theknightwho (talk) 14:27, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
