A list of three-letter (and two-letter) templates that could probably be expanded to a more obvious name, e.g. {{tlc}} → {{template link code}}.
Three
[edit]To be evaluated
[edit]- No. - abbrev of # with "number" -- reasonable?
- No2 - table cell template (reasonable?)
- Bio - dab
- Crh - Crimean Tatar language lang template, could be expanded to that?
- Die - gives the face(s) of a di(c)e... feel like something more descriptive would be useful?
- Fox - part of Category:Animal WikiLove templates series, could all be renamed?
- Km2 - square kilometres
- M/H - metallicity, see also Fe/H, could be combined or otherwise renamed?
- Mi2 - square miles
- ×2 - probably going to send this to TFD
- ADA - sent to TFD
- ARK - RM filed (original move contested)
- HMS - reverted move, can't decide if I really want to contest it
- JAN - RM filed (original move contested)
- U35 - sent to TFD
- XfD - asked creator why it exists, probably send to TFD depending on result
Second opinion requested
[edit]- Fs2 - looks like we need Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2020 February 1#Template:Football squad player2 to be resolved first? It also has a bunch of sub templates (e.g. Template:Fs2 start). HouseBlaster (talk · he/him) 01:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- That merge is complete. Apparently this is unrelated to TM:football squad player2... I am more lost than I was a year ago. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:49, 14 June 2025 (UTC)
- BCE - I think the abbreviation is more recognizable than Template:Before common era, so I am inclined to put this one down as a reasonable TLT. But given that people seem to be avoiding this one, I am putting this here for others to chime in. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 00:44, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
- Category:Austroasiatic multilingual support templates - I'm struggling to understand what these templates do, let alone find a better name. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:32, 8 August 2026 (UTC)
- Category:Military abbreviation templates - struggling with how to handle these two. {{Killed in action}} and {{killed in action text}}, with a redirect from {{Killed in action 2}}? HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:32, 8 August 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Category:Malaysia expressway and road infobox templates (change or del?)
[edit]Refs/notes
[edit]- Ran - matches rma, not an obvious name though
- Ref - reference tag (reasonable?)
- Rma - "reference, manually anchored"
- Sfn - reference tag (reasonable?)
- Efn - this really should be expanded, but I suspect a unilateral move will be rejected. Work an RM? Primefac (talk) 15:16, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- I tried a little while ago... It has been almost two years, which is something? I think coming up with a clear proposal would be better than the trainwreck. One of the objections was that the name parallels {{sfn}}, so that should be included in the RM. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 15:21, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
Timezone templates (rename?)
[edit]Super-high-use
[edit]Template wrappers
[edit]That is, templates which make use of Module:Template wrapper. They might be worth renaming; they are really halfway between a redirect and a fully-functional template. HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 03:41, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
Banner templates
[edit]- COI - banner template - should it have "banner" in the name? Primefac (talk) 15:16, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
- POV - there are a lot of redirects which might make good names; I am particularly fond of {{not neutral}}. But I am also open to other ideas (see also TM:COI). HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 06:30, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
