  • Speedy keep, misunderstanding of usage. The template is used to change infobox text depending on the language variant used in an article and has nothing to do with keeping multiple versions of articles. Jc86035 (talk) Use {{re|Jc86035}}

  • Keep. Serves established WP:ENGVAR. (Note: I am the creator of this template and its module. Was not notified btw). -DePiep (talk) 20:20, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
THis is the difference:
The RfC is about having two articles (say in en-US and en-UK) simultaneously, for the reader to choose one local en language variant.
WP:ENGVAR is about having one article being in one en-variant language only (so, not mixing up en-US and en-UK spellings). This template supports this one-language-variant-only for templates (so that a template can follow the article's variant: using "colour" or "color" as the article does). -DePiep (talk) 19:36, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep, misunderstanding of usage. Double sharp (talk) 01:58, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep, this should be closed ASAP as this discussion is breaking the drug infoboxes. See modafinil for example. No longer breaking but definitely a useful template. Sizeofint (talk) 04:44, 29 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • speedy keep; per others this nomination seems not to understand what this template does.

to reply to me 15:08, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Regardless of usage up this point in time, this template serves a valuable purpose to lessen biting newcomers that has no equivalent. But as to usage, this has only recently been added to the completely overhauled NPP, at Wikipedia:New pages patrol#Unreviewing, so it may become more used. It is also not insignificant that we are in the midst a crisis right now, with NPP barely functioning, and the hole growing ever deeper. If this is addressed—our gatekeeper functions are rehabilitated in some manner and we get a new cadre of NPP'ers, who actually read the page and follow its suggestions—its use should ramp up. As to the substitution issue not mentioned in the documentation, I simply do not know what you are talking about. I have created a number of Wikipedia highest use templates (including the z template series used for tracking it you mention) but I am not a coding wizard. Under usage in the documentation, the substitution issue is addressed, as far as I can see. Please clarify. Regardless, across all of our deletion processes, we generally do not delete pages, nor is it a proper basis to request deletion, because of some easily fixable issue.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:28, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Previous TfDs for this template:

This template, though it is implemented using lua instead of wikitext (causing Nyttend to decline my G4), still has the same problems it has when it was deleted in 2010, that is that is dependent on a non-existent MediaWiki message, and would be pointless even if it worked, as the English Wikipedia is (obviously) monolingual. Pppery 12:43, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • speedy delete, nothing has changed from the last time this was deleted. Frietjes (talk) 14:00, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • I tried to speedy delete this earlier as G4, but it was declined by Nyttend saying that Content is entirely different; are you suggesting that we had Lua coding in 2010 Pppery 14:01, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
      • Frietjes, did you even look at the deleted content? G4 is for reposts, and unless you can prove that the template deleted in 2010 used the content used here, it is not a repost. Hint: it didn't use Lua. It used lots of "switch" and "if" conditional expressions. Nyttend (talk) 20:45, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
        • This is not about reusing same old code (which I can not check). Same functionality, so same template, more so since the old Delete arguments are equally valid. -DePiep (talk) 09:45, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Same functionality, so is a restauration. -DePiep (talk) 09:45, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
