:Yeah, the continuity notes are not complex. A template for them is just adding an unnecessary extra layer. --[[User:Abates|abates]] ([[User talk:Abates|talk]]) 15:43, 2 April 2019 (EDT) | |||

I'm not convinced of how useful this template is? The point of templates is generally to avoid typing out a bunch of wikimarkup code manually, but all a continuity note has is italics and internal links. I'd argue that doing it via template makes it harder, because you have to memorise the template's specific syntax, plus I assume it adds extra server load compared to doing the formatting directly in the article?
