Template:Infobox Marathon (Athletics) (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template created by Diogomauricio3 and was used in now deleted fake articles in his userspace, see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Diogomauricio3's user pages, and has never been used in a useful fashion in the mainspace, and since it is orphaned it probably never will be. I don't edit in this area, but it appears to be redundant to other templates such as Template:Infobox Athleticrace. CT Cooper · talk 19:29, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Wikibroke (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

It's not at all clear what the purpose of this template is. To antagonise editors who are on wikibreaks? To point out compromised accounts? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 15:27, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it is clear what the purpose of the template is. To notify users, once they return, that their account has been used while on supposed "wikibreak", possibly by someone else. The message does this immediately, while the user who may receive the message may or may not notice the edits immediately.

It's not possible to antagonize someone while on their wikibreak, since they are on wikibreak and thus have no idea, but one could attempt to antagonize someone when they come back from break.

As far as the message being able to be removed, that is acknowledged in the template and is true of any message left. And, if someone has figured out how to use the account of the person the message was written to, they can delete the message without creating a "You have new messages (last change)." blurb at the top of the page the next time that actual person actually logs in. Hyacinth (talk) 03:07, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this necessary, or appropriate? Surely if someone has broken a wikibreak that person will be aware of it. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward: not at work) - talk 08:31, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. If a user on wikibreak cannot be contacted, how is it possible to determine whether or not their account has been compromised? If an account was compromised, I assume it would be blocked and tagged with {{Compromised account}}. I don't see why this template is necessary, and agree that it's purpose is unclear: it's very poorly written, and I have no idea what a "wikibroke" is. PC78 (talk) 11:33, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The template is very confusing. Also, if someone were using the account of someone else on wikibreak, couldn't they just remove the notice? If the purpose is to reveal that an account has been compromised, tag it with {{compromised account}}, like PC78 said. The template's kind of redundant... --- cymru lass (hit me up)(background check) 22:24, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - No need for a template message for such a rare situation. SnottyWong chatter 23:47, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I think it's safe to assume that the person most often likely responsible for making contributions using an account whose rightful owner has said he or she is on a "wikibreak" is the rightful account owner him- or herself. Chris is right. If the purpose is to antagonize those users, the template should be deleted. If an account is actually compromised, it should be blocked using the appropriate request for AI, not handled with a talk page note. --Bsherr (talk) 00:25, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Csiguide episode (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Only transclusions were on episode articles which were almost universally redirected, leaving this template abandoned. What's more, this doesn't appear to be an acceptable website to link to per WP:ELNO; it's an unattributed fansite.
