• Template:Metamask.com (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I don't really see a purpose of this being a template, as it appears to just be a copy of the text of MetaMask. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 20:15, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Doesn't serve a function as a template and is a copy paste. Fulmard (talk) 20:20, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Editnotices/Page/Home video game console (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Editnotice blanked as no longer applicable. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:14, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Editnotices/Page/Hippocrates (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Editnotice no longer in use. It was blanked when FA status was removed from Hippocrates. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:13, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, no longer needed. And also all of these defeatured medical FAs. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:00, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Module:Archive/sandbox2 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unnecessary fork, hasn't been updated in over five years. – 🌻 Hilst (talk | contribs) 13:35, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It is still a viable approach to solving a still-present user-visible bug in the template. DMacks (talk) 16:56, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I pinged the current talkpage regarding the bug, so it's now part of an active discussion. Hopefully the bug will get fixed (in which case, sandbox not need) or this TFD has reminded me to take another look at it. DMacks (talk) 17:33, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I moved this when moving the module for a merge, but the sandbox2 page is not needed. Like the nominator says, it hasn't been used in years. Rjjⁱⁱⁱ (talk) 16:57, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Template:Use Ugandan English (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Ugandan English (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I am unable to find any discussions leading to the creation of {{Use Ugandan English}} by Cobaltcigs. Ugandan English explains that this dialect makes use of phrasing that would not be acceptable here on Wikipedia per MOS:COMMONALITY, and uses misspelled standard English words. We would never accept those misspellings here, so these templates should probably go away. I have found no information about whether Ugandan English is based on British or American English, so I can't recommend conversion to a redirect at this time. Evidence supporting a redirect is welcome. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:16, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: possibly relevant: the creator of {{Ugandan English}} was blocked as a sock puppet of someone who was originally blocked in 2015, so their creation of this template in 2017 may be speedy-deletable. I am not well-versed-enough in SPI and CSD to know for sure. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dan9122/Archive. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:22, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  It's borderline. Since people othwr than their socks have added the template to pages I think it's easier to use TfD's infrastructure for orphaning templates before deleting then rather than G5 speedy deleting. But if another admin wants to do so I have no objection. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:55, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Uganda's sole official language was English through 2005, and it remains one of the country's two official languages. There is a distinct variety of English that took hold there (Ugandan English), and it makes sense to keep this template specifically for that variety in line with MOS:ENGVAR. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 20:27, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
