So I don't want to go digging through all the tons and tons of places this could be, but I came across Template_talk:Dreyfus because it was an unsorted template and I was bored and noticed that it said not to create Master templates due to how complicated they could get without community discussion. Was this changed between then and when this was made? I'm not seeing any immediate issues with it. But an admin should probably make sure the template is functioning properly at the very least.

- Well, the Lumiat has now been referenced in a second story (however minorly), so I think we're good to recreate this. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 14:32, 10 January 2021 (UTC)
- The reason the Master templates exist in the first place is because they (well, most of them at least, [[War Master]], [[Decayed Master]] and [[Spy Master]] are now sort of exceptions to this) lack a "pretty" way to link to them like we usually do. Considering McKee is undisputedly and unambiguously the Lumiat, is this template truly necessary? OncomingStorm12th ☎ 02:25, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Well — as you say, I think that rationale sort of fell by the wayside when we introduced {{Gomez}}. Scrooge MacDuck ☎ 09:46, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
- Funnily enough, my message was initially going to mention {{Gomez}} as well, and how it shouldn't also be needed ;P. Checking the template's edit history, I see it wasn't created by an admin. I wonder if there was a time-frame where people still used [[Missy (Deep Breath)]] over it.
- In any case, the Lumiat and the newly-introduced Master redirects have an advantage over Missy's: they don't have a dab term. So, even though the Lumiat is a tiny bit shorter than the Lumiat, I don't see much of an advantage for it's use, unlike Missy over [[Missy (Deep Breath)|Missy]]. (in any case, what I'd argue is for the disuse of the Gomez template as well. In the optmistic future where we split the Master, we'll already not need them anyway).
