Great. I hammered it out when still a bit bashed and
Im pleased now to see what I wrote was essentially
coherent and actionable.
So Ill start a page at
and pitch it a bit more, start implementing in on some
articles which suffer from template madness or
long-term controversial tags. The idea is that the
shortcut-like tag could even be 'permanent' for
articles with recurring issues of an apparently
eternal nature.
Sincere regards,
SV

The 'added whitespace' flaw when category

line of whitespace). In otherwords, corrections
templates (cleanup - merge - delete - etc) needing
to
be made can be hidden in the article, and can be
seen
by editors when they click the edit link.
If that's too subtle and difficult (ie links dont
work) a simple edit issues box (like a
{{shortcut}}
box) could give everybody note that there are
issues
regarding the article, and link to the talk page
where
people can stick any number of templates they
want.
I like this idea. Many of our existing templates say
"this article is
$1; see talk".
