Wikifunctions:Requests for deletions

From Wikifunctions

Functions or implementations or tests which do not work properly, do not meet notability criteria or are duplicates of another object can be deleted. Please nominate items for deletions under the "Requests for deletion" section below.

If it is obvious vandalism, just report it in Wikifunctions:Report vandalism, or ping an administrator. Contact can also be made with an administrator on Telegram or IRC #wikipedia-abstract.

If it is a predefined item (it's ZID is less than 10000), please see Wikifunctions:Report a technical problem.

empty string (Z11853)

Unneded ZObject for an empty string. Current usage could be easily converted to use an empty string directly. --Ameisenigel (talk) 18:26, 16 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

But it may sometimes be easier to read an object with a label instead of a string literal, or tell the intention better. I am a bit torn about such literals, I really don't know. I for sure do not have a principled stand on this yet. (Note that this comment is explicitly in my hat as a volunteer). --Denny (talk) 15:03, 17 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
The interface should distinguish between different code points that are currently displayed as "". In the meantime, I guess it is convenient to have a literal Z6 for each invisible code point that is used in a composition or test case. (I feel a new implementation of is empty string (Z10008) coming on… is Empty string, composition (Z17075).)
In any event, I do not believe that an object should be formally proposed for deletion on this page without a notice on its own talk page that notifies its watchers of what is proposed (except for recently created objects that fall into the categories listed in the first paragraph of this page). Perhaps we should have a “Consider for deletion” section or page? GrounderUK (talk) 10:42, 18 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Test case for List without first element With Strings (Z8120)

This is a broken built-in test, but regular users can't edit it to fix it. It has been replaced by string test of list without first element (Z12766) anyway. Unless there's a good reason I'm missing, I think we should minimise the use of all built-in tests, because they have an unnecessary layer of inflexibility. This one is broken, so should be deleted. --99of9 (talk) 00:18, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

As we've said before, this isn't the right venue for discussion of pre-defined Objects; can you file a Phabricator task? Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 13:21, 18 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

replace suffix ending on string (Z17986)

Remove all impl and tests. Duplicate of replace at end (Z11178) So9q (talk) 12:04, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Remove in favor of compositions

duplicate of add suffix "n" to string if it does not already end with "n" (Z17791) So9q (talk) 12:25, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just convert the implementation into a composition (see Swedish noun, sixth declension, indefinite plural (same as singular) (Z17783)). GrounderUK (talk) 15:14, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Swedish noun declension, singular definite, -n (Z17853)

duplicate of add suffix "n" to string if it does not already end with "n" (Z17791)So9q (talk) 15:38, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Just convert the Python implementation into a composition (see Swedish noun, sixth declension, indefinite plural (same as singular) (Z17783)).

duplicate of Echo (Z801) So9q (talk) 14:12, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I’ve converted the Python implementation to a composition with string identity (Z11602) and suggest we retain the function and its tests. GrounderUK (talk) 15:08, 19 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
