Template messages/Standard boxes
This page seems have been lacking real updates the last two years, and so, it is outdated, and might give wrong advice to people. → Aza Toth 16:24, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Have dates or the periodic table changed in the last couple of years? That may seem like a flippant question, but I'm serious: is there some specific way in which each of these templates or associated verbiage is so out of date that it creates harm (which can include pointless churn) to the encyclopedia?

 * Keep If it is a bit outdated, wouldn't the thing to do be to update it? It seems like just deleting it wouldn't really help anything. Hi878 (talk) 21:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as being mainly utile. Collect (talk) 22:35, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Tag as historical if it's outdated. The info seems useful at least. Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Many otters • One hammer • HELP) 19:03, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep we don't remove documentation because it has dated, instead it should be updated with the latest information. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:49, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Tag as historical or warn that information might be outdated.  Or fix it.  --SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:17, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
