– To free the Ct name for the "contentious topics" series of templates, which is an internal abbreviation used for describing contentious topics. I know one is older than the other, but CT is used more to refer to "contentious topics" (see {{ct/alert}} and {{ct/aware}}) post rename of the discretionary sanctions system than this. Since this is a big move, a bot will need to update each mainspace transclusion to the new template name. AwesomeAasim20:59, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as proposed the ct template is for the UCI code, so should just say that. {{UCI team code}}; the other template doesn't need to move at all, though {{Navbox cycling team meta}} could be used, since it is a meta template used to build a navbox template. Place "navbox" at the beginning akin to how meta infoboxes are named. -- 65.92.247.90 (talk) 21:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as proposed as confusing, since the contents of Template:Cycling team will suddenly change for no good reason. There is simply no reason why the second template needs to be moved; we should simply find a different target for the first template. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠00:52, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Okay I am starting to concur a bit with IP. King of Hearts, I also kind of agree with your reason, but I was trying to find a suitable title for the other template. A usurp is a bit bold which is why I was only thinking it should be done with good reason. To free up an internal project abbreviation sounds like a good reason for me.

@Awesome Aasim: The following pages were moved, and redirects were left from the old name to the new name. These redirects should be deleted or retargeted once a bot has swept through them if the intent is to repurpose {{ct}}:
It has been awhile since I dealt with template editing that I forgot how subst operates. Thanks for the refresher. ^.^ In any case, I have rolled up my sleeves and worked on the remaining 98-ish transclusions in the Template space using AWB, which in turn shifted 300+ links to Template:UCI team code. There're still 11,700+ pages to be edited. – robertsky (talk) 00:20, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Awesome Aasim, the bot run is complete for most of the articles in the main space. There are still a couple of pages that require manual triage. Can you help to verify if these pages and/or the templates (and/or Modules) are free of {{ct}}?
A notification to users actively using {{ct}} may be required. My bot was using a list of pages that I compiled at the end of November 2023. In between then and now, there have been at least 50+ new usages of {{ct}}.
How about can you do the 50 runs and then we can maybe free the redirect. There is the concern of old revisions but those are probably the least of our worries. Maybe we can have some logic that warns users in the preview when it is attempted to be transcluded {{preview warning}}. AwesomeAasim21:24, 27 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Had done so, and monitoring. I have managed to find the cause of the transclusion at the 2015 articles above, nested in a switch statement here, {{Cyclist women team data 2015}}. I have gone through the other namespaces manually, and they are also cleared of the usage of {{ct}}. I think you can do the switch over any time. – robertsky (talk) 01:17, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
