Template:Ute
This template isn't used by anything, and the poorly-written description gives me no idea what it's for. User:Fabartus created a huge number of templates (including this one) with no discernable purpose; I intend to nominate those for deletion as soon as I can make sure that they're not somehow all dependent on each other and in use somewhere hidden (there are > 50 of them, so it might be a while). —LrdChaos (talk) 15:35, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete. Wikipedia has exactly one use of this template in the entire project — a 12 Sep 2006 post to w:User talk:Radiant! that says "Try a message to Pfctdayelise, for directions", posted unsurprisingly by w:User:Fabartus (aka "FrankB"). The usage is  , and it is a link to commons:User talk:Pfctdayelise. It's an interesting idea, but I see several problems with it. First, I have to wonder if there aren't already similar templates in wider use. Second, I'm not crazy about a template whose syntax saves practically no typing for the user, but does enable ignorance of proper cross-project linking. (One can leave out 6 uncommon characters — 4 braces and 2 vertical bars — by typing  commons:User talk:Pfctdayelise  instead, and everyone  will know or learn how to create this link.) I have other objections, but those are two showstoppers. I am also concerned that this user may have established a bunch of personal-convenience templates that duplicate existing functionality. I'll probably review my vote before this discussion closes to see if we have more info on this and the other templates. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 17:06, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
