Almost unused, and only on very rarely visited pages. Do we need it? Keφr 17:30, 26 September 2014 (UTC)Reply

How would its function be replaced? DCDuring TALK 15:23, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
…which is…? I find this template completely useless. Keφr 16:01, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
It would help if you would say why you wanted to delete something that is in use outside of User space. Clearly it is not useless: It is used to format some pages that are not in user space. How would you want to format those pages? Why bother deleting it? Do you really want to delete those pages? Does the template clutter up some cleanup list?

Move the content of |notes= outside the template, convert |shortcut=... into {{shortcut|...}} and remove the rest of it. I see no value in this completely illogical navigation this template provides. Cleanup lists? Well, some of these pages show up on Category:Shortcut boxes needing attention. Which gave me the idea of cleaning up project namespace pages: deleting some or marking as inactive. But whatever. Keφr 17:12, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
It's been around for more than eight years. It has a format not really consistent with other generally similar pages, though that may have been the intent. I guess it won't be missed.
There is something curiously satisfying about working on reducing lists: redlinks, cleanups or whatever. It's probably most important to be working on the right set of lists. DCDuring TALK 18:24, 29 September 2014 (UTC)Reply
