Template talk:Wikipedia2

Categorization
Do we really need this template? On the one hand, few of our editors do any copyediting, and maybe such templates would help those editors identify problems. On the other hand, as Bloodshedder might say, it encourages editors to annotate omissions rather than fixing them.

If we do keep this template, is it likely to be used often enough for its own category, rather than just putting the article into Category:Cleanup? AFAICT very specialized articles (walkthroughs, powerups, editing tutorials, people) do not benefit from Wikipedia links. For "mainstream" articles that do need them, the Wikipedia article is likely to be very nontechnical, which means that the reader might already recognize the term, which means that our article isn't fatally incomplete without the link.

 * I didn't even know this existed. No surprise, considering it is included in only three articles right now. I just looked, and none of those articles really have anything appropriate that could be linked to in Wikipedia. If we're going to use this template, it should at least be used properly!
