We already have some of those, and I think we shouldn't have them... ~Uniju(T-C-E)

I agree, the articleabout template works best if its only two pages. -- Sir Grodus

It might be the mostly widely disregarded rule in this wiki. This rule might as well not exist.--Platform (talk) 04:54, February 5, 2025 (EST)
