There s an extensive on -wiki discussion of this at
Wikipedia_talk:Talk_page_templates. Considering that the new templates
have just been adopted after a reasonable period of open discussion,
an attempt to change back will be interesting.
Personally, I would support making all templates yet smaller, and
almost all less conspicuous, and moving most to the article talk page.
Not everyone agrees.

Well, once again I disagree with you as per [1].
{{HurricaneWarning}}
should have been deleted a long time ago, but it somehow survived TFD.
Short of deletion I would welcome any attempt to make its appearance
more subtle but it's protected for no apparent reason.
I can't believe that template exists. What's next, a warning on
medical articles for people to call 911/999/whatever in case of a
medical emergency?
Oh, good grief, you really didn't suggest that did you? Tell the kids
not to stuff beans up their noses....
I template the hell out of articles that are inappropriate content but
won't be corrected. The x-ray crystallography article, which requires
an expert, not a bunch of physicists and mathematicians, shouldn't be
the general article on the topic, it's written essentially about x-ray
crystallography of bio molecules, and it looks exactly like what it
is: a compilation of disorganized insights into the field without a
retaining substance, like an outline.
There are some articles that shouldn't be on Wikipedia, and if I don't
have time to correct them, and no one else will either, then I'm going
to at least warn the readers that the article is a piece of crap in
various ways. That's what the templates do. In fact, one of the
first times I read an article on Wikipedia it came with a warning.
