Corpora[]
The detachment of the communities' corpora from their respective articles has bemused me. Why is this so? IDX 11:55, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
- Look at the actual edit pages for LD4all and Reading material. Basically the same text can be automatically placed in two seperate articles. r3m0t 16:13, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Templates[]
I have just stumbled upon the existence of 'shorthand' templates such as cat. Surely typing four more characters to form Category isn't too hard, for readability's sake. IDX 11:58, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
- That's five characters ;) I think saving typing = editors are encouraged to write more. cat and category are equivalent for now. r3m0t 16:13, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

Stub templates[]
What is the use of stub templates not already filled by Template:Fill? I don't think the different stub messages are necessary. One is enough. r3m0t 11:24, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
- For a start the Template:Fill is messy, contains no links or 'expand it' bits. Secondly, I was just following Wikipedian tradition. I think they are quite presentable, but yes you are right in saying there is no need for a lot, just a few I'd say. Template:Fill has thus been superceded and should be deleted.

- Template:Fill should be used solely for empty sections. Please use stubs for entire articles. IDX 11:31, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
