::Okay, I see that you went ahead and moved the template. That's probably okay in this case, but it's usually best to let the discussion age a little to give people a chance to weigh in. Also, when you add or change the template on several pages, "Another" is a poor edit summary, because it only makes sense in the context of the recent changes (which are temporary) and not in each page's history. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:42, 4 April 2013 (UTC) | ::Okay, I see that you went ahead and moved the template.

Do we need this template? Do we really expect any of this missing information to ever be filled in? Even if we do, I think the format needs to be scaled way back. A large banner across the top of the page is too much considering the relative importance of the missing info and likelihood it will be found. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:28, 4 April 2013 (UTC) | Do we need this template?

:I don't think we're very likely to recover any info, but I thought it was important to categorize the pages we need info for. Like having a wish list even though you know you won't get a GBA... grrr. It's good for organizational purposes. I'm going to ask TBC if they can recover any info and hopefully they will respond.

Format and usage
Do we need this template? Do we really expect any of this missing information to ever be filled in? Even if we do, I think the format needs to be scaled way back. A large banner across the top of the page is too much considering the relative importance of the missing info and likelihood it will be found. — It's dot com 01:28, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- I don't think we're very likely to recover any info, but I thought it was important to categorize the pages we need info for. Like having a wish list even though you know you won't get a GBA... grrr. It's good for organizational purposes. I'm going to ask TBC if they can recover any info and hopefully they will respond.
