[edit] MPC Templates

The templates on this page seem a bit over the top. The information included in the templates includes start and end dates for every member of the Monetary Policy Committee, in a very repetitive format. This information is already available the Monetary Policy Committee article. What's the point in repeating it all here? I'm inclined to remove them, but I'd like to hear some other comments first.

I know what you mean - there's a bit of a discussion about it on Savidan's talk page. Gabriel R 23:58, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree - page should be mostly about King, not MPC. An explicit link to MPC should be enough with perhaps a template for Gov of B of E. The same over-the-top template does seem to be on most individual pages however (eg Eddie George's, + another - I haven't checked them all). If there were more about King, a huge template would be less dominant. (The discussion referred to above is now at User_talk:Savidan/Archive_3#Monetary_Policy_Committee, and more at Talk:Monetary_Policy_Committee.) roundhouse 10:33, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
