Just {{Infobox military unit}} with details about an army used in only one article Pakistan Army. Not sure why a separate template is needed here, it can simply be placed directly in the article (like in all other Army articles). Gotitbro (talk) 17:43, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Or as User:Bsherr puts it below "Single use templates that can be substituted into their article." Gotitbro (talk) 17:47, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Propose merging Template:Infobox campground with Template:Infobox holiday camp.
The distinction between the two subjects is vague. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:05, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, replace Infobox holiday camp with Infobox campground. --evrik (talk) 16:41, 20 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

{{TOC1001}} was superseded by {{TOC001}} ~2.5 years ago and remains unused. See related TfD.   ~ Tom.Reding (talkdgaf)  13:33, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Against WP:REVDELREQUEST. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:51, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don't typically take part in TfDs, but I have been a bit concerned about this template before and have thought about starting a discussion on the talk page several times. The whole point of revision deletion is to make harmful revisions as hidden as possible. If you have a giant red box on the top of the page screaming what exact revisions to look for to see RevDel-worthy material for everyone to see, then that makes the revisions much more visible than if it's buried within the history and an admin is privately emailed about it. I think this would very much create the Streisand effect and as mentioned, it is against WP:REVDELREQUEST.--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 13:54, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Enterprisey and SkyGazer 512: I've made a change. I've added <div class="sysop-show">, to the effect that the big message is only displayed to administrators. Bellezzasolo Discuss 16:10, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
WhatLinksHere can still be used to check all pages this template is on, which is mainly what I'm worried about. Enterprisey (talk!) 17:56, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, you could easily see all the revisions that have this purely disruptive material by constantly browsing through the transclusions. Imo, it's much better to just email a willing admin.--SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 18:08, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Withdrawn. Apparently discussions aren't allowed anymore. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 03:08, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This in reality is a nomination for all 122 templates in Category:Infobox element per element but before I tag and list all 122, I want to make sure I'm not missing something... These templates all seem to only be used in one place. The article about the element. Is there a reason there is a template for the infobox as opposed to just placing the infobox on the article as is normally done? {{Infobox element}} exists for a reason... Why make 122 single-use templates that are just transclusions of that template? @DePiep: I definitely want to make sure you chime in here. I'm guessing this is a relic of the way things worked at one point? Either that or I'm missing something. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:22, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Zackmann08, this looks more like a drive-by tagging. "Single-use" is no reason for deletion, and so you could not provide a policy link. here, -DePiep (talk) 02:18, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
