Nope. I haven't placed it in an article. I agree that lack of promotion 
is part of why it hasn't been used. For me it's a bit of a 
chicken-and-egg situation.

If somebody would like to use it on an article, I'm glad to move it to 
template space.  I'd like to follow David Gerard's suggestion to run the 
phrasing by our PR and legal advisors at WMF first, so give me a few 
days of warning.
