It probably doesn't even need to be a guerilla campaign... if you read 
the relevant template_talk pages, there has never been any consensus, or 
even discussion, that the article space is the right place for 
meta-information.... it's usually that each template was created by one 
person who agrees that most templates should be on the talk page, but 
obviously not _theirs_ as it is important :) ... thus without a broad 
policy none of them get moved :)
