Template:English legislation (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:British legislation before 1801 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Template:UK acts of Parliament lists (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Template:England laws was sent to TfD here as they were pretty much the same scope. While looking at the pages linked from those templates, I noticed that the above 3 are all pretty much included in Template:UK legislation. We don't need 5 navigation templates for the same scope if Template:UK legislation already has all of the links. Gonnym (talk) 14:17, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - these have different scopes. Template:UK acts of Parliament lists is purely acts of Parliament from the UK, whereas Template:UK legislation covers all legislation from the UK and its predecessor states, and hence is a much heftier template. The same applies to the templates for English and British legislation - it is unhelpful to claim that one 'mega' template is better than more focussed ones.

The 'meta' template exists and is in use (and I did not create it). Since it exists, it isn't useful for our readers that we have navigation templates that don't follow WP:BIDIRECTIONAL. And it's a complete burden for our editors to have to maintain 4+ copies of the same list. Ah, I just noticed it was you that created 3 of these templates. Can you point me to a prior discussion which lead to the split? Any TfD? Gonnym (talk) 16:25, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: now restored to parent article. Useddenim (talk) 12:23, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please Keep. This template has been in use continuously until very recently (April 20th [1]), and removed due to a current editorial overhaul. It will probably be used again soon in some Scythia-related article. पाटलिपुत्र (Pataliputra) (talk) 15:10, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Template link3

Template:Template link3 (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This is a redundant template to Template:Template link with features that should not be used. Templates should not be styled with square brackets, as editors are expecting curly for templates (unless you write the full name Template:Template link3, which is different).
