Line 301:

Small inconsistency: in the [[Template:WikiProject Oceania#Deprecated parameters|#Deprecated parameters]] section, both listas & class bullets' 2nd sentence should start with either "Please see ..." or "See ..." and not both. This is the only instance of "Please see ..." I see, so preference goes to "See ...". &nbsp;&nbsp;<b>~</b>&nbsp;<span style="font-family:Monotype Corsiva; font-size:16px;">[[User:Tom.Reding|Tom.Reding]] ([[User talk:Tom.Reding|talk]] ⋅[[WP:DGAF|dgaf]])</span>&nbsp; 12:00, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

== Eliminating the remaining uses of [[Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks]] and its subpages ==

===Low hanging fruit===

* {{tfd links|WPBannerMeta/hooks}}

* {{tfd links|WPBannerMeta/hooks/collapsed}}

* {{tfd links|WPBannerMeta/hooks/notecounter}}

* {{tfd links|WPBannerMeta/hooks/notes}}

* {{tfd links|WPBannerMeta/hooks/taskforces}}

* {{tfd links|WPBannerMeta/hooks/taskforces/core}}

* {{tfd links|WPBannerMeta/hooks/tfnested}}

From what I can tell, I think we are all set to delete (under [[WP:T5]]) the templates listed above, but I am asking here before actually pushing the button. <b>[[User:HouseBlaster|House]][[Special:Contributions/HouseBlaster|<span style="color:#7D066B;">Blaster</span>]]</b>&nbsp;([[User talk:HouseBlaster|talk]]&nbsp;•&nbsp;he/they) 02:48, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

:[[Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/notecounter]] is mentioned at [[Module:WikiProject banner/templatepage#L-24]]. Other than that, the few transclusions left for the others can be deleted. [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 09:39, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

===[[Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/cats]]===

The other remaining subtemplate – {{tfd links|WPBannerMeta/hooks/cats}} – is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere?target=Template%3AWPBannerMeta%2Fhooks%2Fcats&namespace=10&hidelinks=1&limit=50 still in use] at [[Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/cats]]. I can see of several possible solutions, in order of increasing complexity:

#Leave it be.

#*Pros: Very easy

#*Cons: Feels like we are inviting further use of a deprecated template

#Move it to [[Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/cats/core]] (or some other subpage)

#*Pros: Easy, prevents use of the template in other locations

#*Cons: Still leaves around some technical debt

#Merge its functionality with [[Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/cats]]

#*Pros: Marginally decreases technical debt; impossible to continue to use any of the hooks

#*Cons: More challenging; [[Template:WikiProject U.S. Roads/cats]] still exists

I lean towards option 2. Best, <b>[[User:HouseBlaster|House]][[Special:Contributions/HouseBlaster|<span style="color:#7D066B;">Blaster</span>]]</b>&nbsp;([[User talk:HouseBlaster|talk]]&nbsp;•&nbsp;he/they) 02:48, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

:2 will be the easiest for now and will allow to decouple it from the parent template. [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 10:01, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
