Wikipedia:Alternatives to the "Expand" template (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Essay I wrote a long time ago back when {{expand}} was still somewhat in use despite being deleted. As the template is now long since a memory of Wikipedia history, I feel there is no longer a need to keep up a page suggesting alternatives. By now, most people don't even remember {{expand}} and know what to do in its stead. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 18:50, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. It's referenced in a lot of places. Mark as historical? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:47, 12 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mark as historical per Ricky81682. Graham87 08:28, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mark as historical. I can understand the desire to get rid of it, but it is linked from a number of places and a "historical" note would be less perplexing than a lot of redlinks. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:50, 13 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
