| :::: As much as I like Joe and often agree with him, he doesn't constitute consensus. I'll have to look at those templates you linked (running out the door now), but I think this is a sound idea. Making the Jihad's job easier is a Good Thing(tm) in my book. And... does anyone else feel often baffled by the use of link-abbreviations in discourse? I mean--BW:CITE is pretty clear, but I had to actually click to figure out what BW:CP meant on another page. Just wondering if I was the only one. --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]] - [http://hiver.swordofthestars.com/ SotS])</sup> 10:13, 15 July 2006 (CDT) | | :::: As much as I like Joe and often agree with him, he doesn't constitute consensus.

| :::::: [[BW:SHORT]] page is getting a huge update. trying to gather them all up. Most shortcuts are two to three letters. CP -- Community Portal. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 12:51, 15 July 2006 (CDT)

| ::::: Oh. I know you know this, Joe. Hence your councel for waiting to see what others say. I was more responding to Shane's... eagerness. --[[User:Day|Day]] <sup>([[User talk:Day|Talk]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Administrators' noticeboard|Admin]] - [http://hiver.swordofthestars.com/ SotS])</sup> 21:37, 15 July 2006 (CDT)

| I very much like the idea. It's an excellent example of the utility of templates in encouraging standardization. --[[User:CalculatinAvatar|CalculatinAvatar]]<sup>([[Special:Contributions/CalculatinAvatar|C]]-[[User talk:CalculatinAvatar|T]])</sup> 04:37, 24 July 2006 (CDT)

| == An Update Idea ==
| |
|
| |
| Myself and Steel were talking and maybe we should also add a line to the [[BW:FA]] requirement:
| |
| :''All cites should be in the format using the [[BW:CITE|Cite templates]].''

| |
| :That way we'd take more of a "fix it as we find them" approach rather than any sort of effort to actively identify and replace ALL instances that need to be changes (making a checklist to work, etc). --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:55, 25 July 2006 (CDT)
