Hi Ed -
Unless I'm missing something, the discussion hasn't been closed one way or
another yet - and all the templates still exist, so they certainly haven't
been actually deleted yet. And I would certainly read the current
consensus as to keep but address certain problems.

discussion seemed to indicate consensus was for keeping it?!

I posted here back in March about some templates
I'd created to enable
direct links between Wikipedia articles and resources in readers'
libraries
about (and/or by) the subjects of those articles.
(These linking
services are still under active development, and I've been hoping to
complete
a port over to Wikimedia's own servers, once I have all the needed
approvals.)
Yesterday, however, all of these templates were tagged by a Wikipedia
user for discussion about possible deletion. (Because the higher-level
templates used by editors invoke some lower-level templates that were
also
tagged, any usage of the links on Wikipedia pages
looks pretty ugly at
the
moment.) If you're interested in the fate of
these
links and templates, please consider weighing in on the discussion,
which you can find at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2013_Ap…
(And if you're interested in having your library included in the linking
service, and aren't yet in the list of supported libraries, you can
sign up here:
http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu//webbin/olbpcontact?type=library
The service is currently available for links from both Wikipedia and
The Online Books Page, and can possibly be ported for other sites as
well.)
