Track layout templates

Wikipedia:Template namespace says "Templates that violate the guidelines on this page, have poorly defined function, are redundant, become orphaned or used on only one page, or violate any Wikipedia policies may be nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion." How does moving track layouts for a single station to a template not violate this? Most of these templates have no chance of being used on more than one page.

@Steelkamp: This question keeps coming up every few years, and the consensus is always the same: because of their nature (a highly technical markup language) and the fact that a single incorrect character can cause an entire page to blow up, it is best to keep them separated from the rest of the article. Wikipedia talk:Route diagram template/Archive 9#Route Diagram Templates is only one of the discussions. Useddenim (talk) 19:07, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Also, by being stand-alone templates, it helps with categorization by not being dependent on the parent article. Useddenim (talk) 19:08, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I agree with Useddenim. There's long-standing consensus at TfD that RDTs do not violate the guideline. Consensus can change of course, but this has actually come up several times; it's not a case of a long-standing issue flying under the radar. Mackensen (talk) 19:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I wonder if there can be a noinclude banner at the top of the template page stating this and pointing to the previous discussion(s) so that someone comes to delete these, they can see the established consensus without having to start a bunch of TfDs.

TfD

Hey, since it seems you are the basically the only one that knows if and where these unused templates should be used. Do you want me to save the hassle of TfD and post the links here? Gonnym (talk) 09:21, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

@Gonnym: That would definitely simplify things all around. Useddenim (talk) 10:14, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

@Gonnym:  Done. Useddenim (talk) 01:21, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Nice! So only Template:SEQ-rail-network and Template:Manitoba rail network from the above list still unused. I've found also:

• Template:Air Line branch √
• Template:Railways to Dinorwic – transcluded onto User talk:DavidAHull for use in a future article
• Template:River Clady RDT √
• Template:Transperth railway network diagram/Zoned ?

I'm still updating {{SEQ-rail-network}} (it needs a lot of work), and another editor keeps removing {{Manitoba rail network}} from Manitoba#Transportation despite there being no problem with RDTs for other Canadian provinces. Useddenim (talk) 16:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

{{SEQ-rail-network}} now transcluded onto Railways in South East Queensland. Waiting on feedback for {{Transperth railway network diagram/Zoned}}. Useddenim (talk) 00:10, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Found another one Template:Chengdu Metro/1. Gonnym (talk) 10:51, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

↑ was untranscluded due to vandalism. Useddenim (talk) 14:46, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

TfL route maps

Your edit to the map of Route SL8 - I didn't know the prior version violated an MOS policy. I didn't create that prior version. Checking the history of the RDT, @Denham331 did the RDT. Your edits make the RDT better-looking, in my opinion. You might want to do the same to the following RDTs:

1. Routes 5/15/15H/N15
2. Routes N28/N31 @Pedroperezhumberto:
3. Route N32 @Pedroperezhumberto:
4. Route SL6 @Pedroperezhumberto:
5. Route SL9 @Pedroperezhumberto:
6. Route SL10

Thanks again for correcting me, and do ping me when you have corrected the aforementioned RDTs. — Pedroperezhumberto (talk) 12:18, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
