[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Template_documentation&oldid=128847413 this] and the current page bear virtually no resemblance to the purpose of the original page Template doc page pattern page. 'this' itself may have lost some of the information... that is now totally obscured by what is here on "Template documentation".

<s>Someone needs to restore the original content and split the history and original page name</s>[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=WP:DPP&oldid=105215046]. [[WP:DPP]] was the original mnemonic shortcut so that can be kept with the resurrected page, but the "Template documentation" page as it currently stands is not the technical method the original page was written to be. If the information is there at all, it is well hidden. I see no link to the talk discussion involving Tim!, CDB, and then Liguleum. <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Template_doc_page_pattern [Ah, what the hell -- I restored the page from the Meta copy plus a better intro. Let it be the "Here's why we do this" page it was written to be, and you guys do whatever this page does.] <br /><br />As I was the person pressing for 'displayed' documentation that lead to the (questions of Tim... that lead to the...) development of this method by CBDunkerson (just over a year ago!), I've no problem with you guys standardizing and cleaning up template documentation--it is in fact one of the stated purposes when I started the [[WP:TSP]] project. <br /><br />But I have a major problem that your renamed page lost the reasons for doing the method, and morphed into a spoon-feeding of naif editors, vice a clear method for the technically savvy. <br /><br />Feel free to hijack that 'TSP' and rename to "template standardization project" or some such, but this former technical reference needs restored.
