So, rather than putting the TBD on this one, I'm just going to ask: what does this template do that couldn't be done with an individualized message for each article with a conjectural title? By that I mean one such as the one seen at the top of [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Field_Day_Intro&oldid=476066 this version] of Field Day intro. To me, this way seems better, as a template like this one seems to me to add clutter to the article (clutter that is effectively permanent, as it's not that likely TBC will confirm titles for these). The short messages are less cluttering and more informative, as they can actually tell the source of the conjectural title. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 09:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC) | So, rather than putting the TBD on this one, I'm just going to ask: what does this template do that couldn't be done with an individualized message for each article with a conjectural title?

| + | :I thought it would look a bit more sophisticated, and I still do, although, it may need to be a bit thinner, because you are sort of right about the clutter, but I really think it looks better. Thinner? Maybe. But words make it look like the article needs a template, since most other Wikis seem to have one, I just can't see why we don't need this, and in the below discussions, it seems people like the idea.--{{User:Slipstream/sig}} 09:44, 7 August 2007 (UTC) | ||
