Hey Robert,

Questions:

  • Is this always required (on your view)?
  • If not always, then when?
  • What are the rationales for the different sections?

--Larry

I think this should be on every template (except for subpage article templates, of course), in order to document its usage and instructions. Hopefully this will provide a great level of "ease of use" for all templates (and even encourage development and refinement of existing ones).
The different sections are intended as documentation; like a "developer notes" or "instructions". Obviously there might be some times when a better or different template should be used, or in cases where you really can't use a template with existing templates. And if something goes wrong with the template, you should know who to go to to have it fixed. --Robert W King 11:32, 13 January 2008 (CST)
