Well, just to prohibit or strongly discourage templating articles 
unless really necessary and try to shift people back to the fix-it 
culture.

To strongly discourage templating users pages with a few exceptions 
such as vandalism and copyvio templates. To greet users manually and 
only then give the hello template.

So, yes, I am letting you know as requested.

Cheers
