I noticed recently that this has been change massively Recently and gives far less and in my opinion inaccurate information. Normally I would assume that it had been vandalised but seeing as Scrooge was one behind it concluded that there must be a good reason behind it, and thus left it as is was. I would like to to understand why this was changed to what it was (no reason was given, hence my asking.)[[User:Anastasia Cousins|Anastasia Cousins]] [[User talk:Anastasia Cousins|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 10:21, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

: I overhauled the template at the same time that I did a massive rewrite of [[Great Old One]] and related pages (removing rampant speculation and canon-welding). Chiefly, the reduction of information stems from the fact that the template previously ''listed'' individual Guardians, Great Old Ones and Eternals, which is completely wrong for a template that purports to be about ''species''. The lists of Eternals and Guardians have thus been split off into the newly-created {{tlx|Eternals}} and {{tlx|Guardians of Time}}. I also intend to create {{tlx|Great Old Ones}}, although due to the plurality of contradictory accounts of what GOOs even ''are'' (let alone who should be counted among their numbers), it's a tricky thing to get right without prioritising one account over another.
