This is a failed proposal. Consensus for its implementation was not established within a reasonable period of time. If you want to revive discussion, please use the talk page or initiate a thread at the village pump. |
Here is the proposed policy. It's really very simple.
The Template: and Category: namespaces are for encyclopedia-related content only. This includes encyclopedic content (i.e. templates used in Wikipedia articles), encyclopedia maintenance (e.g. ((blocked)), Category:Pages needing attention), and encyclopedic collaboration (e.g. WikiProject and Babel templates and categories). All other uses of Template: and Category: are prohibited.
This is a corollary of Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and What Wikipedia is not.
