I notice that this article inherits all the categories from the included templates. Is this the desired operation? You might want to consider using the techniques in Wikipedia:Category suppression.--Peculiar Investor 09:48, 17 July 2012 (CDT)


 * No, this is not the intended result, but I was unaware of this technique. I saw finiki's recent changes regarding "category suppression" and was about to inquire. I'll work on this towards the end of the week (time permitting). --LadyGeek 20:56, 17 July 2012 (CDT)
 * I was bold this morning. --Peculiar Investor 09:27, 18 July 2012 (CDT)
 * I was bolder this evening. --LadyGeek 18:41, 18 July 2012 (CDT)

Continuing on the bold path, I updated several messages to look like Wikipedia. Upon further review, I removed several messages that went too low in detail. It's more confusing to try and pick an appropriate template than just state what's wrong.


 * We run a python script for external links: External link maintenance
 * I added Template:Out of date, as that's a common problem. It's a good project for new editors.
 * For problems not listed, Template:Cleanup can be used with a description in the Talk page.

Here's the changes: Bogleheads:Template Messages - Bogleheads

Does this simplified Bogleheads:Template messages look OK?
