Plus, just a note about seeing an item as of 2011. If
I try to see
what an article looked at that time and if a template in the meantime
has been substituted and deleted, I'd see only a red mark stating
"Template:Whatever" instead of that template. In 12 years, nobody
complained about that... :)
I wasn't aware of such an issue. But here the issue is less important,
as template generaly are used for shaping the article, relevant data
being passed as argument. I can't afford the time to read all of [1],
but did you make an extensive research before "nobody complained"?
Now there's also the assumption that the impact level would be the same
as with template deletion, which as far as I know require a community
decision. Anyone can modify wikidata anytime, so my guess is that won't
have the same impact.
By the way I do use page history links. For example when citing a
particual assumption/sentance you found in a wikipedia article, one may
want to give an accurate revision, because – you know – new revisions
may change! So in order to make relevant references, you have to cite
accurate revision, and not the main URL that may evolve to something
completely different from what you wanted your reader to be pointed to.
