This is not how we should link to page anchors; regular links suffice. The text produced by this template is entirely unprofessional. (See Morse v. Frederick) 68.35.40.154 (talk) 03:44, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Typographical sign with noconsensus on its usage.Curb Chain (talk) 13:10, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Pause and clean up the delete notice I can't decide whether this template has an unprofessional appearance, because the delete notice is currently being transcluded along with the template itself.  See Morse v. Frederick  75.4.207.85 (talk) 07:38, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I have now noincluded the deletion template.Curb Chain (talk) 11:02, 30 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete, for such purpose the TOC was invented! So it is "totally" useless. mabdul 11:27, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Redundant to use of film cover fur with Non-free video cover Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:30, 15 May 2011 (UTC) 
 * Keep - I don't see how this is redundant to Non-free video cover. Anyway, there are 2 different styles of these templates, those which require substitution, and those which don't. I personally prefer the substitution style, as this allows the wording to be easily customized. PhilKnight (talk) 11:47, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep The template itself could use an overhaul similar to how Template:Manga rationale operates, but having a template like this makes creating the appropriate fair use rational and attributing the correct license much easier. Also Film cover fur is not always the best match because not all DVD covers are film covers. —Farix (t &#124; c) 17:53, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Relatively unused, see WhatLinksHere. Template doesn't cover anything that isn't already located at Template:Talk header. :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  23:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC) <hr style="width:55%;" />
 * Keep talk header has no indication of where to place the discussion of someone seeking help, so is unhelpful, something that helpspace pages should not be. 65.95.13.213 (talk) 03:56, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep as pointed, the generic template is not so clear about the help desk. Helping new users unfamiliar with the interface has a higher priority than avoiding redundance. If the template is not used very much, it may be used more Cambalachero (talk) 12:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Unused, only one transclusion. Subst and delete. :| TelCo NaSp  Ve :|  23:36, 17 May 2011 (UTC) <hr style="width:55%;" />
 * Rename to template:user talk alt and merge to template:user talk as a different format activated by switch. Do not leave a redirect lying around ("talkpage alt" shows no indication it is for user pages in its name). Seems like a nice alternate format. (rename, to preserve edit history, since the current name should not exist as a redirect) 65.95.13.213 (talk) 03:58, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
