== Templates for superscripted † and ‡ == | |||
I recently created templates for superscripted daggers † and ‡: [[Template:†]], [[Template:††]], and [[Template:‡]]. Since these two characters are almost always used in Bulbapedia in superscript form <nowiki><sup>†</sup> <sup>††</sup> <sup>‡</sup></nowiki> (and each instance takes 14 to 17 bytes in UTF-8), there is enough rationale for creating the templates, whose transclusions <nowiki>{{†}} {{††}} {{‡}}</nowiki> take up only 7 to 10 bytes each. Replacing every instance of <nowiki><sup>†</sup> <sup>††</sup> <sup>‡</sup></nowiki> with <nowiki>{{†}} {{††}} {{‡}}</nowiki> in the articles would result in shorter coding (desirable since shorter coding results in fewer bytes being eaten up from the server’s hard disks) and speedier page loading. | |||
The only question remaining would be how to categorize such templates before applying the protection tag to them (given that they will be heavily used, and given that they don’t need any documentation since they take no arguments, template protection is heavily warranted).
