Template talk:User

I know you guys hate deleting templates, but this one is no longer needed. As long as there is nothing linking to the userpage, getting rid of the template on the user page does nothing to the Wanted Pages. In this case, it is just easier to delete the user pages than use the template. Also, if there are links which link to the user page, I think it is better to remove them than use this template. 20:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, this is a perfect deletion candidate. The Mediawiki problem was fixed so that userpages no longer clog the recent changes, so if it's not on any pages, it should be perfect for deletion. 20:29, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
 * As true as that may be Neo, I am stil going to place my bet on the template staying because they hate deleting templates. Of course, I would be very happy if I was wrong *cough* *cough.*  19:38, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't see any need to delete it. It still can serve a purpose. But as it's no longer an issue for wanted pages it's going have to at least be reworded. Sometimes there's lists of members, like on some community pages, where the name would look better if it wasn't a red link. This is part of what this template is for. It's not totally useless. 02:15, January 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought the decision was to replace any red links to users who have not registered to text. Yes, I suppose there is a problem with either of them because anyone can sign up as that person and pretend to be them reguarless if the template is being used or not... but that never happened recently (that I am aware of.)  One of the things is does is add some pages to the wiki which it doesn't need.  I am aware of the function you described, but what ever happened to replacing red links with text?   02:27, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
