Unused templates with the same accessibility problems as {{Saffir-Simpson small}} (see below). Some of these scales are not mentioned anywhere on Wikipedia. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 22:13, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what to think about the so called accessibility problems as its not my area of expertise, but would comment that the 3 scales are the same (abr the weaker intensities) and are mentioned on Wikipedia.Jason Rees (talk) 22:27, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Question: Are the scales the same across regions? --Gonnym (talk) 10:48, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per the nominator NoahTalk 16:29, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - although I have urged keeping the more-used Saffir-Simpson version below while the identified problems are addressed, it is less useful to keep these three. With no transclusions, a good path of action is probably to fix and improve the Saffir-Simpson version, and then (re)create other legends based on it (or possibly extend a single "color legend" template using an option for different scales). —AySz88\^-^ 05:44, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccessible and similar in function to {{Saffir-Simpson scale}}. See also archived discussions (especially the last comment), below. –LaundryPizza03 (d) 22:08, 9 June 2019 (UTC) [reply]

For context, at the time the template was made, the use of colors to convey category and strength information was widespread in WikiProject Tropical cyclones, and screen space was scarce: a 800x600 CRT monitor was a plausible use case. With that in mind, {{Saffir-Simpson scale}} may not be a drop-in replacement. Some refactoring could create a solution, such as in the aforementioned table, which has a column that explicitly lists the categorization for each storm, obviating the legend.
WPTC might still have need of a miniature legend like this, though - for example, I would have expected some transclusions to provide a key for track maps (Wikimedia:Category:Atlantic hurricane tracks). The discussions on tooltips and addition of "nomobile" seems to have muddled the applicability and usage of the template - moving the template (after replacing to zero transclusions) could be an option to allow the project to repair it, or modify it to work better with modern UI. —AySz88\^-^ 08:29, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

* Delete with no replacement I would suggest simply deleting this template and not replacing it. None of the other season articles have their scales at the top of the effects table, so it isn't needed here. The TC scales page is already linked. One could also view the timeline on the page to see the scale. NoahTalk 14:27, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    • I'm not sure the consistency argument works - one might as well say that the other basins *should be using* their templates more (plus, there are other contexts where this template is used than the effects tables). And Tropical cyclone scales, in the word "category" in the column headers, is a mix of all the basins' scales, not the specific one being used. More broadly, almost by definition this is a brief on-hand alternative to the main place for this information. Usability-wise, removing the ability to have a legend at all seems to be a step backwards and prone to confuse (unless there's a decision to remove color entirely instead). —AySz88\^-^ 05:24, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - after some more research, I'm getting more convinced that the issues being identified are more shortcomings and lack of maintenance than reasons to delete. The transclusions of this template are indeed at places where the articles have want of a labelling of the colors. I'd suggest that the need here is to address the issues - perhaps a redesign based on or merged with the other instances where a color legend is used, such as in the timelines and track maps, or a merge with some smaller option of {{Saffir-Simpson scale}}, in a design without the wind speed columns. (I can't guarantee how quickly the project would address this comprehensively, but seems improper to go to deletion for lack of this work.) —AySz88\^-^ 05:24, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep – This template provides another function for using a scaled-down version of the table, just like how the Template:Hurricane infobox small has its own specific purpose separate from that of the larger Hurricane infobox template. This template is also used in a large number of articles with hurricanes/storms that are warned on by the U.S., probably every single hurricane season article with a Season effects table. Any issues with the smaller template as it is can be resolved with maintenance and syntax adjustment (if needed). LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 06:38, 13 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The band's navigational template consists of four links: the band's article, one album article and two album redirects back to their band's articles. So there are only two valid links that already link between themselves making this template unnecessary and WP:NENAN. Aspects (talk) 05:18, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The band's navigational template consists of ten links: the band's article, one of the band member's article, six red links to other band members and two album redirects back to the band's article.
