Template talk:Reputation

From what I can tell, this is really a template, correct? Why not make it a template then? That should correct the category issue as well since it will not need one as a template. What benefit does it serve not being a template? -- Cedarwings (talk) 05:31, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * No benefit, really. I just thought since it's a single-use bit code used only to simplify the page it's attached to, it didn't really deserve (or need) its own template. Not exactly clear on how making it a template corrects the "category issue"... or that there was one in the first place. --Belthazar451 05:38, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Pages in the main space require a category, templates do not. -- Cedarwings (talk) 05:52, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
