Hi,
Not to be dumb, but if people substitute rather than transclude
templates such as userboxes, how do you know whether anyone's using them
or not? They would need unique text that you could search for.

Unused userboxes that have been around for a while
(i.e. not
created in the
immediate past) should definitely be deleted (aside from
those that fill a
pattern, such as Babel langauges/levels where no-one speaks
it yet). Are
there any arguments for keeping these userboxes?
Alternatively, I would also
argue for the deletion of all userboxes only used by one
person (and the
userbox has been around for some time): what's the point of having a
template and category for something only one person is going
to use? We
could just tell the person to substitute it on his/her
userpage instead.
