I'm not sure I understand the problem with fromowner - nor would I
think we'd touch the image pages, which are completely non-human
readable anyway, more or less by design.
Certain maintenance tags seem to me like they should be excluded -
unreferenced, npov, accuracy dispute, and cleanup are obvious ones,
to me - these are things that people should probably be able to see.
The slowdown is no doubt genuine, but I'm not sure the slowdown is
significant unless you're doing a huge amount of batch template
editing, in which case you're probably automating anyway. And if the
templates are always in a consistent location, it shouldn't be a huge
problem. The biggest problem I see is the lag in people adding the
new header pages to their watchlists.
Generally if someone hits the edit button they should
be able to edit
the info on that page.
Sure - but if we're creating huge HCI problems with our templates,
which I'm inclined to agree we are, we're already creating difficulty
in editing the info on a given page. I think this is a trade-off -
certain things about a page become harder to edit, but the overall
page's editability increases.
