I note that the citation templates such as {{tl|DW}} and {{tl|DWM}} have been deleted. I've looked for a few minutes for some sort of forum discussion about the matter, but haven't found any rationale or consensus for this deletion. And I've checked [[:category:citation templates]] to discover that they are '''all''' gone. What was wrong with those templates? To my mind, they reduced the number of keystrokes needed to cite things, especially where multiple citations for a single point was necessary.
