Thread:User talk:CodeCat/Don't delete templates.

Even if your experiment with deleting hadn't run afoul of wiki errors, it still would have broken things, because the job-queue means that the recreated version doesn't instantly become available. Take a look at [[oinker]], for example; it's one of many entries that are completely broken for now.

(And the job-queue isn't 100% reliable, anyway. It wouldn't shock me if some of these entries will remain broken indefinitely, until the next time someone edits them.)
