Hi all, This has probably been debated millions of times before, but could someone tell me the basic results of the debate, even if that's the case?
Proposition: When you create a blank page, instead of having an empty page, have a basic template like:
<!-- Lead, including '''article name''' in triple quotes. -->
<!-- Sources - please include at least one verifiable source under a ==Sources== heading -->
<!-- Stub template. If the article is less than two complete paragraphs, please insert {{stub}} or something more specific (see the stub page [[can't remember it]]) -->
<!-- Categories: Every article should belong to at least one non-stub category. Add these like [[Category:Wikipedia articles]] -->
Etc. If nothing else, it would help us avoid forgetting some of these basic things, and would help newbies not get bitten, create peace on earth, free beer, etc...
I assume this is technically possible. So what's the social reason for not doing it?
