:The template's used a hell of a lot. I imagine not. Some alternative would be better—except OTs aren't generally much of an issue, I think, so it's arguable whether it'd even be worth that.

::Well, I suggested it because we use it for the OTs of in-game trades but instead of coloring their names we add symbols next to them, and the columns in the tables are already a bit tight on space. This shouldn't affect the template where it is used already; if no string is specified, it'll still show the gender symbols like it does now. Alternatively, we could use {{template|Color}} in place of {{template|Male}} or {{template|Female}} for the OTs.

:::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. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:34, 4 March 2016 (UTC) | |||
