mentioned earlier, the german wikipedia doesn't has them and Ibelieve the opera's
project doesn't use them.
But sometimes you also just have to accept that you
can't convince people (can't imagine why anyone would not agree with me though
:). Hey, if it were up to me I also would kill 90 % of the use of the current templates.
And some of the infoboxes. I guess I just don't like many templates. I don't know
if this page was mentioned before but see also [[User:Shanes/Why tags are evil]]. But
like I said, sometimes you just have to accept the fact that they are going to stay. But
please do try to change consensus. :)

I'm trying. Although I'm okay if they stay, I really think it destroys the
point of an encyclopedia which is what we're supposed to be doing. I'm currently
discussing this on the [[Wikipedia:Spoiler warning]] talkpage and on [[User talk:Megaman
Zero]].
The main reasoning provided is its "courteous". According to policy
established and the spririt of the wiki this isn't paticularly senseful. See
[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not censored]].
Wikipedians are generally a good lot. I don't expect to change heads anytime soon
but I think it is obvious the usefulness of this template is clearly not in view of
building the encyclopedia. I'm hopeful, that, in the future this can come out to
sensible agreement. Currently, I will continue discussion on the matter. - Zero
