Was going to be [[WP:BOLD]], but would rather discuss first. There is a link to [[Help:Talk pages]], but later in the template there could be a link to [[Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines]]. Probably linked in one or more of the words in this sentence: "However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article" <span style="text-shadow:green 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em">[[User:Gatemansgc|Gatemansgc]]</span> ([[User talk:Gatemansgc|TɅ̊LK]]) 21:35, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

== Template:uw-autobiography ==
I just made some minor edits to this template, but wanted to discuss any more significant changes before implementing them. The template currently has "...If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles)." First, telling editors that their article may be deleted— is this helpful or is it just meant to make them feel threatened? Second, the "probably sooner or later" bit also seems unhelpful: lots of genuinely notable people never get Wikipedia articles written about them, and the reassurance of "sooner or later" feels pointless: instead, we ''could'' point out the Requested articles page. Lastly, why are we mentioning "Wikipedians with articles" at all? To the extent that this template is meant to be placed on the talk pages of editors who have come to Wikipedia specifically to write an autobiography, the "Wikipedians with articles" mention serves no purpose. So how about, ""...Autobiographies usually have problems with conflict-of-interest, and are likely to be deleted as promotional. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, you are welcome to add your name to our list of [[WP:RA|Requested articles]]." ?
