For your awareness, the staff have been discussing these changes and are planning to move in a different direction (avoiding templates and just using direct links).  But we can leverage BulbaBot or other tools to make these changes, and having pages use different templates makes it much more challenging for the bot to do its work.  I appreciate what you're trying to do -- and I know that you want your edits to be constructive -- but when you're making large-scale style changes of this nature, please check in with the staff before doing so, so that you avoid stepping on people's toes.  Please refrain from making further changes like this in the future. -- '''[[User:evkl|<span style="color:#000099">evkl</span>]]''' <sub>[[User_talk:evkl|<span style="color:#006699">(need to talk?)</span>]]</sub> 13:33, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

I realize that it's a good practice to show an affirmative example of what we're looking for, and sorry that it's taken me a double-edit to do so. -- '''[[User:evkl|<span style="color:#000099">evkl</span>]]''' <sub>[[User_talk:evkl|<span style="color:#006699">(need to talk?)</span>]]</sub> 13:41, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
