:::If you change the template, it ''will'' ripple out through all of its uses. It doesn't matter if the outcome doesn't change; the wiki doesn't know that until it checks a given page. It'll occupy the wiki's resources no matter what change is made.

::::I'm perfectly aware of that. Is {{template|Color}} an acceptable solution then?

:::::It's an alternative, but I don't actually think those uses of these templates need to be changed. It's ''far'' less obvious what a red/blue name implies than the male/female symbol, and it really doesn't take much space, being one simple character... I think changing it would just confuse people more than it would actually be particularly useful. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:09, 4 March 2016 (UTC) | |||
