Unused templates, superseded by {{top5}}, {{mid5}}, etc. --kc_kennylau (talk) 13:57, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

I think you mistakenly put {{col-top}} and {{col-bottom}} in this RFD. They are newer, auto-balancing templates, not superceded by anything. And they certainly are not "unused". --WikiTiki89 17:43, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

• Keep all: Purplebackpack89 20:53, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

  Why? Renard Migrant (talk) 18:16, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

  See below. Purplebackpack89 14:53, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Delete all, except for -top and -bottom which seem to still be in use. —suzukaze (t・c) 20:56, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

This has got very confusing. The apparently erroneous nomination of col-top and col-bottom has confused the issue. I'd detag them but I don't think I should, Kc kennylau should do it unless he/she think that they weren't tagged in error. Renard Migrant (talk)

Delete all except -top and -bottom. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 04:46, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

@Kc kennylau: Can you please withdraw the nomination for {{col-top}} and {{col-bottom}}? --WikiTiki89 16:36, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Partially kept T:col-top and T:col-bottom. Still waiting for @Purplebackpack89 to explain his/her vote. --kc_kennylau (talk) 01:17, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

This would hardly be the first one-word vote ever cast. Anyway, I believe that they are useful templates. It doesn't bother me in the slightest that there are multiple templates that do similar things. Purplebackpack89 02:16, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

So you wouldn't object if these were all replaced with something more up-to-date, you'd only object to their deletion? Renard Migrant (talk) 15:13, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

@Renard Migrant I do not object to the creation of additional column templates. Purplebackpack89 18:18, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

• Deprecate but keep. Use AbuseFilter to deprecate it on the technical level by preventing saving pages that contain the template if possible or explain why it is not possible. Point: make page histories legible. --Dan Polansky (talk) 10:06, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Delete all except for -top and -bottom, not used. Enosh (talk) 10:48, 3 May 2016 (UTC)

First two kept as above; rest unused for close to a year now → deleted. - -sche (discuss) 03:13, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
