• Template:UTF-8toScalar (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Unused template. Should probably be added to Module:Unicode convert as much simpler Lua code if required. User:GKFX^talk 15:36, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

• Support Once "getScalar" is added to Unicode convert, this template should be removed in favor of the module. But even though this template is not currently in use, it does get used occasionally for testing when adding information to articles on Unicode characters, so the functionality is actually necessary to retain. VanIsaac, MPLL ^cont_WpWS 22:26, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

  In addition, the "getScalar" function could be created to recognize both UTF-8 and UTF-16 sequences to be more useful than the the {{UTF-8toScalar}} template. VanIsaac, MPLL ^cont_WpWS 22:35, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

  fromUTF8 has been added to Unicode convert. User:GKFX^talk 13:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

• Template:User:Secret Saturdays/Proud to be Greek (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

I'm not sure whether to list this at MFD as a userbox (though I'm not proposing to delete the underlying user box), TFD as a template or RFD as a pseudo-redirect, so I've put it here with no objection to it being moved if someone thinks it would be a better fit elsewhere. This seems to have been created by a newcomer who was trying to move User:Secret Saturdays/Proud to be Greek to template space for some reason, so they created a blank page at this title and transuded a copy of the userbox on it. unfortunatley this has a number of issues. As a userbox it's in the wrong place as it doesn't follow the correct naming scheme for userboxes in template space (which must start with "User " per WP:UBXNS) and "This user is proud of X" userboxes usually are kept in userspace as they are not directly involved with collaboration in the encyclopaedia. As a template it is unused, and it is impossible to transculde normally, as both "Template:User:Secret Saturdays/Proud to be Greek" and "User:Secret Saturdays/Proud to be Greek" would be called with {{User:Secret Saturdays/Proud to be Greek}}. As a redirect it has no use as it is longer than the original name, is in a weird double namespace and is an implausible search term. I'm just not seeing any reason to keep this, but I don't think it technically falls under any speedy deletion criteria. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 14:51, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

• Template:Poem (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Poem quote (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Propose merging Template:Poem with Template:Poem quote.
This poem template doesn't have proper inline offset rendering and as a result it looks offputting when placed into an article because of the lack of offset and white space. See my recent edit on Edo period for an example. - || RuleTheWiki || (talk) 06:39, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

• Keep both. One is for indented poems inside blockquote formatting. The other simply applies poem tags. Some people just want an easy way to apply poem tags, without indenting. If you do not like the way one looks, use the other one. They are both listed and linked in the documentation. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:04, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

  According to MOS:INDENTGAP if quoting a source, the blockquote style indentation should be used regardless. - || RuleTheWiki || (talk) 06:08, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

• Keep both, see above. Esszet (talk) 14:44, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
