Thanks for making those NFL Templates. I noticed some of them weren't being used in the articles, so I inserted them. I hope you continue making those templates. --[[User:Crocoite|Crocoite]] 16:29, 8 February 2008 (EST)

:Ahh, thank you, yeah there was a question of what namespace they should go in for a while - but I think it's pretty much been resolved that the template namespace is adequate; and I certainly do plan on continuing soon! Thanks for putting them in consistently (I like the fact that you put it in its own section - that makes it a lot more clear and it also makes the pages nicer)--[[User:Iduan|I]][[User_talk:Iduan|Duan]] 16:31, 8 February 2008 (EST)

:: Those templates were originally in template namespace, and I suggested (months ago) that they shouldn't be. My reasons were as follows:

+

::* If they are only used on one page, there's little point in making templates for them.

+

::* Current policy is for templates to be locked, so if the roster changes (as I expect would happen reasonably often) then a sysop needs to change (or at least unlock) them.

+

::* If you don't want complex tables cluttering up the article, then they could be put into a sub-page and linked into the article as a template.

+

:: Now, if something has changed, such as them now being used on multiple pages, then that changes things, but otherwise I think they should not be in template namespace. I've not seen any other discussion on this, so if there is one somewhere, and particularly if it mentions factors that I haven't considered, could you point me to it please? I'm not laying this down as law, but I think it's pertinent to consider.
