Forum:CT Archive/Should there be an overhaul of templates?

There is a current discussion in the Senate Hall that begins with questions on how to name templates. However, shortly after a couple of users answers concerning how to give templates names in the vein of creating new templates, the user began proposing such changes to existing templates. The user also moved a template without any talk page discussion involved in announcing such a proposal to move the template.

The implication, here, is that an approval is being sought to "restructure" existing templates to suit a single editor's personal preferences. Although the editor insists that did not say he suggested any restructuring, he actually suggests in his comments that he does "plan on restructuring the entire template section" where he sees "a need," and that doesn't "plan on restructuring every template in the same way."

Is this community ready for an overhaul of templates based on the personal preferences of a single user without notice of the changes until they are made? Will we allow this overhaul to be done without Talk page discussion, as with the GG template? &mdash; Gethralkin  Hyperwave 20:17, July 15, 2013 (UTC)

Against template overhaul without Talk page discussions for each

 * 1) I am against letting templates that have never had any issues for years to be overhauled or moved/deleted/merged or otherwise changed without appropriate Talk page discussions concerning these changes. &mdash; Gethralkin  Hyperwave  20:17, July 15, 2013 (UTC)
