utility of this template
This template is like many navigational templates. It doesn't discourage or encourage article creation. It aids in finding what's already there. It works a little like birthyr. Even if you think most peole born in 2005 aren't notable, its still nice to have a link to Category:2005 births (e.g. its easy to navigate from any year, to any other year). Even if you don't want articles for most elementary schools in a jurisdiction, its still nice to have a link to the category of those we do have. So, I advise against any other edits that disable the utility of this template. If you still think this template is harmful, then nominate for deletion instead. Please note, this issue (see edit history) has nothing to do what schools we should or shouldn't keep. --Rob 02:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
