Unused Userboxes[edit]

Templates from lives in NYC to proud Turks and Caicos Islander are not userboxes and were most likely abandoned. Reverted by Jimmy Wales is not and I don't know if Jimmy has ever reverted a user when editing on here. He might have, but a template for this just doesn't seem warranted as a badge of honor. Supports peace in the mid-east is not a userbox as it links stating it's a redirect to a similar userbox that is being used. The terminally ill one may not be needed given it's hard to know if a user is terminally ill and the messaging of the template may come off as unnecessary. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 23:30, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Agree. Delete all. --Bduke (talk) 23:49, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all per nom. I can't think of any other comment. Minkai(rawr!)(see where I screwed up) 00:29, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all except for the terminally ill template, as it could be useful for letting anyone that expects the user to be online understand the situation that they are currently in and why they are inactive or semi-active. I've used these sorts of templates myself (just not this one) and they're good for letting people know why can't help, preventing them from poking at you while you're unable to answer. As for the others, the nonexistent/redirects are unnecessary and the Jimbo one is kind of disappointing. Waddles 🗩 🖉 00:43, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete all except for the Jimbo one, which was based on this edit, which referred to this other edit by Jimbo, which removed a link to an unedited murder video.   — Jeff G. ツ 01:32, 31 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep those singled out by editors above as worthy of retention or further consideration (no prejudice to unbundled nominations regarding them at some point in the future if desired). Neutral on the rest. — Godsy (TALKCONT) 22:48, 2 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
