Unused character template. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:06, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose Although it may be unused currently, it forms a casing pair with {{saltillo}}, which is used. The reason for using these templates rather than simply typing the characters (or using char-insert) is that with some fonts, it may be difficult for editors to distinguish the saltillo from the ASCII apostrophe, and therefore difficult to proofread an article. Also, people who prefer Unicode periodically go through and 'clean up' the articles, replacing the templates with the characters, so whether the template is used may ebb back and forth. — kwami (talk) 23:10, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There really is no reason to use templates for Unicode characters which can be easily be entered. Gonnym (talk) 14:30, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete It's still unused two weeks later. It makes little sense to keep templates based on ungrounded speculation of the future. * Pppery * it has begun... 20:50, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think this might be better merged into {{saltillo}} with a caps= parameter. It is used for the same purpose, and merging them makes it less likely to show up as unused, even though it is undoubtedly useful. Definitely should not be deleted as character entry is so technology dependent and wikignomes of both the human and electronic variety converting these types of templates to plain text seriously undersells their actual usefulness.

This template originally speedy-nominated but apparently something about that broke or disturbed something at WP:CfD; see User talk:Trappist the monk § Help!. So, nominating here. This template is not used. This template is patently wrong. Hiberno-English is not a language that has been coded by the ISO 639-3 custodians. Because of that, using mis (the ISO 639-3 code for uncoded languages) is inappropriate – Hiberno-English is not the only uncoded language that en.wiki recognizes.
—Trappist the monk (talk) 23:38, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Rewrite get rid of Hiberno-English and rewrite it for specifiable language, link to ISO 639:m and the missing language table entry as the language link gloss for why this is "mis".
 [[{{{langlink|{{{lang}}}}}}|{{{lang}}}]]<sup>[[ISO 639:m#mis|?]]</sup>: {{{1}}}
so that it works with any missing language, and recategorize to only lang-x templates -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:18, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment it would be useful to standardize the format of missing language presentations, when they are written out in articles for the same functionality as lang-x templates, so rewriting this template to do so would rationalize all the missing language glosses with standard formatting consistent with languages that are coded in ISO 639 for which we have a standard format for. -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 03:21, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When would that be used? When formatting text in a language that doesn't have an ISO code, there's no need to advertise (even in a tiny superscript) that the language hasn't got an ISO code: that's completely irrelevant to any text you'll be writing. If you take away the superscript, then the result is similar to what people would write out manually anyway: instead of writing [[Fooian language|Fooian]]: {{lang|mis|bar}}, they would now write {{lang-mis|lang=Fooian|langlink=Fooian language|bar}}. That's a tad more complicated, but it's got one small advantage: it may allow for some monitoring, so that if an ISO code eventually gets created, it will be easier to track down those uses and replace them accordingly. – Uanfala (talk) 23:58, 6 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Then we could just drop the question mark, and format it as you wrote, allowing for RTL formatting from {{lang}} etc. Which would allow tracking, and consistent formatting -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 16:51, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This may be a fairly controversial decision, but I believe that this template covers too broad a subject to be considered useful. Not many pages actually use this template, preferring to use the more relevant ones. (For example, brass instruments use Template:Brass instruments, the clarinet family uses Template:Clarinet, percussion instruments use Template:Percussion instruments, etc.) There also exists the Template:Musical instruments sidebar which does seem to actually be a bit more helpful. So basically, this template is already doubled. Thoughts? Why? I Ask (talk) 08:53, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

full usage report. If the template is really not used (like the report shows) then keeping it is pointless. It should either be used or not, not barely used. Gonnym (talk) 09:35, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Having navboxes like {{Brass instruments}} and {{Musical instruments}} in the same article is more likely to confuse than help readers. Realistically someone in a Brass instrument article is much more likely to want to navigate to other brass instruments. Nigej (talk) 14:55, 13 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No transclusions, incoming links, categories, or documentation. It is not clear what qualifies as a "liberal arts and sciences institution".

The stops on the route are listed in text in the Northern Trains article, with no space to put this template.
