Template talk:HoverTOC

If there are no objections in 24 hours I will delete :) --Zoey 18:54, 2 June 2007 (CDT)

Why do you insist on deleting all the convenience templates?

AphidPerson I get, it's been replaced by Person - fine. But why delete this one? It's not gonna free up space, and all it does is require a re-code if the functionality is needed again...

I mean, wtf kind of argument is "This template is no longer used anywhere." - how many people are going to use it if it's deleted? AphidPerson has been replaced. It is now worthless and will never ever ever be used again. Fine. Understood. But this template is the only one providing this functionality, so the number of people using this particular "feature" will not increase if it's deleted. Deleting a superceded template does not take away functionality. Deleting a unique template does. Just because this template isn't needed now doesn't mean somebody might not like it in the future.

This template consists of 638 characters. If you add up all the revisions you needed for placing the deletion template, starting this discussion, replying to me, deleting, and logging the deletion, you use up at least thrice as much as space as if you had just ignored it.

Deleting this template serves no purpose at all and is a waste of resources.

Again, she didn't insist on deleting anything. And we don't delete unused stuff for reasons of server space. Renegade, it's nothing personal that Zoey nominated these templates. She merely pointed out that these templates were not being used -- it's a fair point. She was just trying to clean up Special:Unusedtemplates. The reason special:unusedtemplates exists is to help with this sort of clean-up. --JayHenry 22:38, 2 June 2007 (CDT)
