There's a template I've never seen before. It's strange that this template doesn't categorise in any way, so it's been there for a while. —CodeCat 21:41, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Actually, {{rndc}} ({{copyvio}} is a redirect) categorizes into Category:Definitionless terms. It looks like it's supposed to be added after copyvio definitions have been removed, but in this case the defintions are still there. Apparently EncycloPetey didn't realize this when he added the template in 2011. My guess is that everyone who followed the link from the cat saw that it wasn't definitionless and left it for someone else to sort out. Chuck Entz (talk) 01:57, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Wow, that's a mess. I'd RFD both templates since they clearly haven't been used in years, and we haven't handled copyright violations or definition requests that way in years (copyvios are deleted or maybe RFCed, definition requests are made with {{rfdef}} or sometimes {{defn}}). - -sche (discuss) 06:03, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

I nominated rndc for deletion, Only one other person commented so I closed it as passed for no consensus. My argument then and now would be we don't keep copyright violations, we delete them or if other valid content is on the page, we hide the revisions then add back the definition in our own words. I also think that no entry at all is better than a blank entry, blanked because all of the information has had to be removed. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:13, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
