Template talk:Courtesy blanked

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Wikipedia shouldn't index courtesy blanked pages (if this template was not substituted, an index could be generated by using the "Special:Whatlinkshere" function)."

And what exactly prevents me generating an index by searching for the text "this page has been blanked as a courtesy"? – 217.44.23.69 21:35, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Nothing. If you really want to find courtesy blanked pages, search away – but easy access is not something we particularly want. Gracenotes^T § 16:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Why does this template link to itself? It facilitates a whatlinkshere index even when substed. --Random832 (contribs) 21:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
