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"?
Well, *of course* we use to reach consensus *before* changing
templates. I thought it was a given point, since we're no different
from any other WP community. :)
And yes, nobody complained because discussions about changing a
template are long, and thorough, and sometimes even frustrating. :)
Usually, we even update data here contained while changing the
templates...
What I tried to say is: we don't mind if we go back in a page history
and find a red link to a template, nobody cares, because we all know
that a template has been deleted/substituted *for a reason* - that we
even discussed for a VERY long time. What we DO care is that the
article has *right now* the correct data - and this will be easier
with Wikidata. I wouldn't have been its main sponsor in it.wp, if it
wasn't for this.
