Keep, they are part of a set of tools, see m:help:expansion demo templates. It is more practical to have them ready for use than to have to recreate them when they are needed. - Patrick (talk) 20:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC).[reply]
If you plan on using them, you should add them where they are needed, otherwise having them sitting around doesn't do any good. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 21:02, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have moved them to my user space. - Patrick (talk) 11:23, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Slovakia statistics templates

The result of the discussion was delete after substitution to ensure the extant data is not lost. Primefac (talk) 09:17, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This set of templates are used in a nested fashion to put statistics in articles about Slovakia, such as Abranovce. This presumably makes it easier for the author of Statistic of Slovak places by Dušan Kreheľ to update the stats from their website, which is used as the data source. It's great to have these statistics in Wikipedia, but unfortunately this nest of templates makes it difficult for other editors to improve the formatting, make corrections, or do their own updates. (For example, after poking around these templates for a few minutes, despite having edited Wikipedia for decades and writing bots myself, I couldn't figure out where the numbers are actually coming from.) I think the best thing to do would be to flatten out all this complexity by subst:ing all these templates (which as I discovered would have to be done recursively). For future mass updates, I think it would be better to have a bot dump formulaic prose in articles or infoboxes directly, which is what has been done for U.S. census results. -- Beland (talk) 00:30, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
