The result of the discussion was delete. (non-admin closure) ToadetteEdit! 19:14, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

These templates have been merged into {{Family Guy episodes}}, which uses a switch to display the episodes for a specific season. Clever. The individual navboxes are unused now. – Jonesey95 (talk) 14:51, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm leaning oppose and restore these templates and delete {{Family Guy episodes}} which is clearly being misused to create navboxes full of non-links and redirects. Gonnym (talk) 10:16, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Look at the pointless usage at Family Guy season 22#External links. Gonnym (talk) 10:18, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. AFAICT, the links in the centralized template are the same as those in the individual templates. Having one template create a variety of navboxes is better than having 10+ templates. The listings for season 22 should be removed from {{Family Guy episodes}} until articles exist, but using the centralized template at Family Guy season 4#External links is better than using {{Family Guy (season 4)}}. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:07, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The baby is a lie. There is a reason only those seasons had a template and that is because the other seasons don't have enough links to support one. So what did those "clever" editors do? Merge them all so finding and removing these is that much harder. Gonnym (talk) 06:36, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete For any season that has the navbox for a season with no articles, the choice is to remove it and replace it with the main Family Guy navbox with a link to that season. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 01:07, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: I realllllllllly do not like navboxes that are conditional. These are some of our most-simple templates and the conditionality steps up the complexity significantly. Izno (talk) 17:25, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Toadette (Let's talk together!) 22:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. No need for the individual season episodes. I've always thought that {{Doctor Who episodes}}, which is ths same principle, works rather efficiently (although I have no idea why there is an "episode count" at that other template). --woodensuperman 13:28, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was withdrawn. plicit 14:39, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unused and in archaic format, many articles fall foul of WP:FILMNAV, etc, etc. Don't really see the need for a dedicated navbox, but no prejudice if someone wants to WP:TNT and start again in line with existing guidelines. --woodensuperman 10:52, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Going through Cook's category and the subcats there is enough to have a navbox for. This needs to be reformatted to reflect that. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 22:37, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Fair enough, have tidied up and there is more there than I first thought. Happy to WITHDRAW my nomination. --woodensuperman 13:17, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be a test from September 2023, discussed at VPT, that didn't appear to result in anything (or did result in something but is no longer needed). – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:54, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I created it. It can be deleted. Along with its associated CSS file:
