By the way, Cyberlink. I think abates finally fixed the code for this template, but it looks like several pages using the template need to be "refreshed" to stop showing up in "[[:Category:Templates|Category:Templates]]". If you have the time, can you take care of all those pages? A single edit submission should do the trick. [[User:S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47|S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47]] ([[User talk:S.H.I.E.L.D.

Your reminder that this template is pointless as we can already link to Wikipedia two other ways that don't require expanding a template. --abates (talk) 22:23, 13 September 2018 (EDT)
- This template is much more intuitive, IMO. And with this kind of template we can actually track its usage by page. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent 47 (talk) 22:37, 13 September 2018 (EDT)
- Indeed. Template > wikicode. - TBR (talk) 01:29, 14 September 2018 (EDT)
- And it's WAY cleaner than the alternatives. Compare [[wikipedia:Transformers|Transformers]] to {{w|Transformers}}. So much simpler and more straightforward. (Also, most of the Wikipedia links have been switched over to the template now, so phasing it out would do more harm than good at this point.) -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 08:30, 14 September 2018 (EDT)
