* {{Tfd links|Escape page link from within}}

Unused template that does what [[Template:Delink]] does. [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 06:26, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

*'''Delete'''. I understand the intention of this template, but it is not done in a "good" way; we should not be encouraging templates that throw in invisible links to the [[Main Page]] just to make something happen. I will also note the /doc example is a somewhat over-trivialised hypothetical that (as near as I can tell) will never actually be used. If there are strong enough warnings on the template to discourage people from using it, and people ''haven't'' used the template because of it (and/or because it's not necessarily a useful template) then it should be deleted. If a specific template should allow for non-wikilinking in a parameter but doesn't, the template itself should probably be changed. {{ppor}} [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 13:12, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per above. I'm not a fan of hacky solutions like this which are hard to understand and liable to cause nasty surprises for casual template authors. I've reviewed the arguments above and am unconvinced that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks -[[User talk:Fastily|<span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';color:Indigo;font-weight:bold;font-variant-caps:small-caps;font-size:120%;">Fastily</span>]] 22:40, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
