User:SOTO/Forum Archive/A new Tardis, at last/@comment-188432-20150109112926 Hey guys :)

One of the problems with our design that Article Prototype is highlighting is the fact that our vast sea of stub templates — and things that are similar to stub templates like and  – are not behaving well because of their placement in any particular page's code code. Sometimes people put on the first line, sometimes the last, and still others at different places in the middle. This wasn't so disastrous in Oasis, but in the Article Prototype, it's perfectly obvious that these tags aren't in standard places.

Thus I'm having to make truly gargantuan bot runs that basically stop on every page of the wiki to replace the template with a similarly-named category, so that I can then go back and place each template at a more precise location in the code.

The practical upshot is that all these tophat templates will be in flux for a few days. Please do not delete these oddly named categories. I'll be taking care of that in a later bot run. Thanks for your understanding. :)
