This is just confusing. Every time I see this it is slapped on the talk page of some IP that has been warned and blocked a bunch of times. We warn users for improper behavior, and then warn them that the warnings they receive should be substituted? That makes no sense at all, and yet the documentation says "This template should precede all User talk warning messages, whether templates or manually entered." I don't believe that is done 99% of the time, and when it is done it serves no purpose. Surely, it is the user leaving the warning not the user receiving it who needs to be properly educated on how to use warning templates? So, it seems to me that this misrepresents policy and serves no discernible purpose. Beeblebrox ( talk) 19:47, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

This is a clean up request. The following templates are all redirects to Infobox settlement. This has 303883 inclusions [1]. Most of them have only two edits, so no special history is lost.
They add no, absolutely no, functionality, instead they create little problems, small ones, but absolutely unnecessary. There are 303883+ articles to manage, so each streamlining helps.
More are at http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Infobox_settlement&hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1 Remember, this is about a very high profile template 303883 inclusions as of today, that may go up to a million one day. NVanMinh ( talk) 05:37, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
