# With regard to the actual metagpage, for some articles the "pagename" field and the "abc" field will be the same, correct?  <p>This is not obvious, and I think should be explicitly stated.  So, [[Mao Zedong]]'s name is a chinese name, where his family name, [[Mao]], comes first.  So his two fields are the same.

#* Obviously articles about people with western style names, where the surname comes last, should have different values for these fields.

#* Well, for nautical vessels, should we just go with what make sense, or is there a style guide?

#* Wikipedia's disambiguation page lists: [[HMS Discovery (1600)]], [[HMS Discovery (1651)]], [[HMS Discovery (1692)]], [[HMS Discovery (1719)]], [[HMS Discovery (1741)]], [[HMS Discovery (1774)]], [[HMS Discovery (1789)]], [[HMS Discovery (1800)]], [[HMS Discovery (1874)]].

#: So, their abc field would say something like: "Discovery, HMS (1741)", or "Discovery, HMS, (1741)", or "Discovery, HMS, 1741".  Someone just trying what makes sense could pick any of those three...

# If subpages are to be used some are more or less essential, while others are optional?

#* Article's specific talk page is not considered optional.  It should exist, even if all it should contain is <nowiki>{{subpages}}</nowiki>, correct?

#* The Definition subpage is optional, but if it exists its first line should be <nowiki><noinclude>{{subpages}}</noinclude></nowiki>, correct?

# When I first started using subpages here, I thought they were a good idea.  Then, when I started an article under a slightly wrong name, and created all the metapages for it, before I realized the name was wrong.  I know someone, eventually, created a way to move the article, and all its subpages.  But I can't remember how it is done.
# The guided form used to offer a list of approved templates.  I always struggled to figure out which categories to use for articles I thought should belong to the non-existent Transport category.  Could a transport category be allowed?
# There was another template, <code>Template:Creditline</code>.  It also required creating a new template for each image where the same credit should appear on all images.  But <nowiki>{{creditline}}</nowiki> had to be explicitly put in the images caption.  <p>Is it also old? Should I consider it deprecated?
