The result of the discussion was '''no consensus'''<!-- Tfd top -->. Looks like the technical feasibility of replacement needs to be investigated more. [[User:Galobtter|Galobtter]] ([[User talk:Galobtter|pingó mió]]) 16:31, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
* {{Tfd links|Infobox Finnish municipality|module=}}
'''Convert to use {{tl|Infobox settlement}}'''. After looking into the code of this template, it appears that the only reason for a custom template is so that the data can be stored in templates. For example [[Template:Infobox Finnish municipality/land area]] stores the land area for every single Finnish municipality. This is NOT the convention for storing this data. Values should be stored directly on the page, not in some convoluted series of templates.

*In light of the DRV discussion, I think it's clear this template should be '''kept''' without prejudice to renomination if someone who's well acquainted with the intricate functionality of the template is willing to support change and is prepared to put it in the apparently high amount of effort needed to implement that change. – [[User talk:Uanfala|Uanfala (talk)]] 00:45, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

* {{Tfd links|EngvarB}}
Similar to below but different as this would require more discrimination: these should all be replaced with an appropriate regional English variant. If none can be determined, then I suggest using {{tl|EngvarB spelling}} or {{tl|EngvarC spelling}} as necessary. The logic is mostly the same, just the implementation and logistics are more complex. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 21:01, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

*::::I'm pretty sure that is because how those are coded. If I take your example then inside {{cl|Pages with Livescores editnotice}} I checked [[Template:Editnotices/Page/2015 FIFA Club World Cup]], which uses {{tl|Livescores editnotice}}, which has an includeonly {{cl|Pages with Livescores editnotice}}. However, if you add a category to {{tl|Editnotices/Page/2015 FIFA Club World Cup}}, then pages using it will be added to that category. See for example [[User:Gonnym/sandbox]] which is placed in {{tl|Test}}. --[[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 12:26, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
*:::::No, that's one page ([[User:Gonnym/sandbox]]) transcluding another ([[User:Gonnym/sandbox/tests3]]) as if it were a template. No editnotice is involved. Put it another way: if you add a category to [[Template:Editnotices/Page/User:Gonnym/sandbox]], it will not affect the categorisation of [[User:Gonnym/sandbox]] in any way whatsoever. Also, what does {{tl|Test}} have to do with anything? It's a notice that is normally [[WP:SUBST]]d to a user talk page. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] &#x1f339; ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 22:07, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' While Koavf is correct that opening a section will ensure that you don't see the template I think that there is less change of seeing a notice tucked away on the talk page. I rarely look at the talk page before editing an article.

****{{tl|American English}}, {{tl|British English}}, {{tl|Commonwealth English}} templates, destined for talk page, creates a banner about the English code used in the associated article. These should not be confused with the "Use [variant] English" templates, that have a script-based functionality. --<small><span style="background-color:#ffffff;border: 1px solid;">[[User:Ohconfucius|'''<span style="color:#000000; background-color:#EEE8AA">&nbsp;Ohc&nbsp;</span>''']]</span></small>[[User talk:Ohconfucius|<sup>''¡digame!''</sup>]] 20:51, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 
*'''CommentPer nom, subject to proviso:''' I created the script which became the basis for some of these templates. I have not be able to come up with a way of replacing the functionality of these maintenance templates with categories. Having said that, the only templates named above that serve useful functions for my script and that are important to be kept are the major English code variants ({{tl|Use American English}}, {{tl|Use British English}}, {{tl|Use British English Oxford spelling}}, {{tl|Use Canadian English}}) – &nbsp;these codes all have distinct and more or less well-defined orthographies compared with each other. The other codes are merely "richer" (mostly just have an additional lexicon outside of mainstream British or Commonwealth English) but have no incidence on spelling variants that the script acts on. So the other templates, including I would say {{tl|Use British English}}, can be simply consolidated under the {{tl|EngvarB}} template. If you look in the [[:Category:EngvarB|category trees of the template]], you will see that they are all grouped under same. My script already replaces these other templates, but to do this job wholesale requires a bot. '''I propose therefore that we delete all except <nowiki>{{Use American English}}, {{EngvarB}}, {{Use British English Oxford spelling}}, {{Use Canadian English}}, and converge all the deleted into {{EngvarB}}</nowiki>'''. Incidentally, I don't think it's helpful to entrench language ghettoes that these other templates seem to imply. --<small><span style="background-color:#ffffff;border: 1px solid;">[[User:Ohconfucius|'''<span style="color:#000000; background-color:#EEE8AA">&nbsp;Ohc&nbsp;</span>''']]</span></small>[[User talk:Ohconfucius|<sup>''¡digame!''</sup>]] 20:51, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
*'''Keep some of the templates.''' Redrose64 makes some good points. I think that we should definitely keep the {{tl|Use American English}}, {{tl|Use British English}}, {{tl|Use British English Oxford spelling}} and {{tl|Use Canadian English}} templates. Should the community decide to delete the rest, I would support the amalgamation of the deleted into {{tl|EngvarB}} per Ohconfucius. Nevertheless, at this time, I don't see why the {{Tl|Use Australian English}}, {{Tl|Use Bangladeshi English}}, {{Tl|Use Commonwealth English}}, {{Tl|Use Hong Kong English}}, {{Tl|Use Indian English}}, {{Tl|Use Irish English}}, {{Tl|Use Jamaican English}}, {{Tl|Use New Zealand English}}, {{Tl|Use Nigerian English}}, {{Tl|Use Pakistani English}}, {{Tl|Use Singapore English}}, {{Tl|Use South African English}} and {{Tl|Use Trinidadian English}} templates should be deleted. When they are used, they provide the benefit of allowing an editor to see the variant of English an article uses by viewing the article in the wikitext editor. —[[User:Ntmamgtw|Ntmamgtw]] ([[User talk:Ntmamgtw|talk]]) 15:29, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Based on [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football/Archive_122#An_issue_with_templates_and_a_suggestion|this thread]] at [[WT:FOOTY]]. Only recently we got rid of seperate template pages for standing tables of eredivisie seasons. So there's no valid reason to start creating one for the next season. Against consensus.
