Category talk:Hatnote templates for lists

Separate hatnotes from maintenance templates
This Category:Hatnote templates for lists contains several templates that are more like Category:Wikipedia maintenance templates. Proposal: I suggest per template, we decide whether it is a maintenance or hatnote template, but not both. Backgrounds:
 * The difference between the two is:


 * Maintenance: box with article message layout
 * Hatnote: text only


 * Maintenance: about quality & improving

 * Maintenance: Inviting to action
 * Hatnote: informing + wikilink option.

 * eh, none will disappear. It's just about being clair: a hatnote differs from a maintenance tag. A hatnote does not (and should not) ask to edit, for example. Also, I understand that you do not disagree with more clarity, while variety and options will stay available. -DePiep (talk) 20:40, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
