Discussion

 * Oppose. This is a purely cosmetic edit. It does not change the rendering of anything on the page and only cleans up the source code. ~ Rob 13 Talk 13:18, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * This is not a vote though. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:20, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

This is a purely cosmetic change, not appropriate for a bot task. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 13:38, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Very useful when copying wikicode to other Wikipedias, wikias and when used by other wikicode generators. -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:39, 2 February 2017 (UTC)


 * The "Template" namespace is hard coded into Mediawiki and works even on Wikipedia projects that use other languages. So it is already possible to copy links that mention "Template" directly. For example, load fr:Template:Infobox Nombre. &mdash; Carl (CBM · talk) 13:55, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Respectfully until consensus is achieved. WP:VPT I imagine is best &mdash; MusikAnimal  talk  01:29, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
