Template talk:Delete-template

This will need to be repurposed

This template will need to be repurposed. The template currently reads as follows:

<div class="notice-template maintenance" style="background:#AAA">
This template is '''deprecated'''; do not add it to any additional pages. It will be deleted as soon as all of its [[Special:WhatLinksHere/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|transclusions]] have been removed. {{#if:{{{reason|{{{1|}}}}}}|'''Reason:''' {{{reason|{{{1}}}}}}}}<br><span style="font-size:smaller">Once the template is no longer in use, please replace the <code>{{delete-template}}</code> tag with <code>{{delete}}</code>.</span>
</div>

This template is deprecated; do not add it to any additional pages. It will be deleted as soon as all of its transclusions have been removed.
Once the template is no longer in use, please replace the {{delete-template}} tag with {{delete}}.

However, it's supposed to read this:

<div class="notice-template maintenance" style="background:#AAA">
This template is '''deprecated'''. Please do not add it to any additional pages; remove all of its [[Special:WhatLinksHere/{{FULLPAGENAME}}|transclusions]] instead. It will be deleted as soon as they have all been removed. {{#if:{{{reason|{{{1|}}}}}}|'''Reason:''' {{{reason|{{{1}}}}}}}}<br><span style="font-size:smaller">Once the template is no longer in use, please replace the <code>{{tem|delete-template}}</code> tag with <code>{{tem|delete}}</code>.</span>
</div>

This template is deprecated. Please do not add it to any additional pages; remove all of its transclusions instead. It will be deleted as soon as they have all been removed.
Once the template is no longer in use, please replace the {{delete-template}} tag with {{delete}}.

Can anyone please tell me why this template should be repurposed so I can get some answers? GuntherBayBeee 14:28, January 23, 2025 (EST)

What's the point of doing this? More importantly, why are you suggesting it if you apparently don't even know why we should do it? -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 13:30, January 24, 2025 (EST)

First of all, I wonder if the current reading is an error. And second of all, I'm suggesting the change if I apparently don't even know why we should do it so that users at the Super Mario Wiki will be informed to do what the template says if it will be repurposed.

Why would it be an error? Both versions say the same thing, the proposed revision is just wordier. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 16:34, January 24, 2025 (EST)

Please make a clearer case for the change rather than list two sets of template coding that only serve to obfuscate the problems and proposed solutions. The wording in the first one is clearer to me, and I don't find linking to the templates necessary. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 16:38, January 24, 2025 (EST)
