Template:orphan

I have moved the template:orphan here as I think it is a maintenance template and such templates should be on the talk page. -- PBS (talk) 09:14, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There's no consensus for this given Template:Orphan. That discussion has lapsed. Shadowjams (talk) 10:59, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neither is that a consensus for placing maintenance templates such as this in article space. There is a justification for placing templates such as NPOV and unreferenced in article space because they warn readers that the editorial staff think that there is something that the reader needs to know, they are like the warning on the BBC's web pages "The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites". But unreferenced is different class of messages from messages such as this one that is not for readers but is an editor to editor message. For editor to editor messages we have talk pages, because we distinguish between article content and editorial content. -- PBS (talk) 20:02, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The template suggests use in articles, and I thought that this was the case with all maintenance templates based on {{ambox}}; maybe the template should be changed if it is not intended for use in articles, although there appears to be lack of consensus. My opinion is that as it does not suggest a problem with the content of the article (such as sourcing and POV-related templates do), it is probably more appropriate for the talk page (maybe I'll add a comment on the template talk). Also as this isn't an orphan article now, I've removed the template. snigbrook (talk) 00:29, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I added another link, to help us defuse this spat. I look forward to working with you in future :-) -- PBS (talk) 01:13, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
