I'm trying to figure out where the mandate came from that "if this is kept, the related templates should be moved back to template space". This looks like an end-run around the German Solution, but Rfrisbie has been working hard on the userfication despite his objections, so I'm confused. -- nae'blis 21:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

"End run! End run! End run!" That's called "telegraphing the play." ;-) Actually, I prefer to use the term "calling the question." As I noted to your question, I nominated "Pets" to see if this page should stay or go. If I waited until it was completely empty, it most likely would have "disappeared out of process." I wanted to get this fairly innocuous set of boxes "on the record" to gauge community consensus. If the "controversy" stops at "politics and beliefs," then we're practically done with GUS. If "life and interests" also are unwelcome in template space, then we've barely just begun. I want to know how much more energy should be put into GUS. Rfrisbietalk 21:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
You're calling the question, eh? Good thing we're not using parliamentary procedure, then. ;) -- nae'blis 04:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
No, we use "F*%& procedure!" around here. ;-) Rfrisbietalk 11:25, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Some do. I prefer to use consensus, even rough consensus, rather than cowboying about or ruleslawyering. -- nae'blis 18:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Strange as it may seem to some, me too. That's why I put this one up here. :-) Rfrisbietalk 18:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Not strange at all. -- nae'blis 19:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
Agree with you, Nae'blis. This is not strange at all. --Siva1979Talk to me 19:41, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
