The thing about templates like {{stub}}, {{NPOV}} and
so on is that they
are temporary by their nature - they indicate a problem that needs fixing.
The problem is fixed and the tag goes away.
Agreed.
Project tags on an article would be permanent by
nature. That's not so
good IMO.
Ah... I wouldn't be too happy with permanent
project tags either. I was thinking of projects
like "collaboration of the week" which is also
quite temporary.
Most of the templates under vote are temporary.
I agree that things like {{Template:Album}} and
{{Template:DrugsNotice}} might be a bit too
distracting to have in the article space.
I'd probably support a small unobtrusive link.
I've always felt that the featured label belongs
in the article namespace. A small star accompanied
with the words "Featured article", linking to more
information, would be enough.
