I prefer the concise wording used on Wikipedia, "Main article: XYZ". Fredrik Johansson 12:27, 25 January 2007 (CST)

I agree it is too long, it seems a bit intrusive. Chris Day (Talk) 13:50, 25 January 2007 (CST)
It's a bit on the long side, I agree. But I feel like "Main article: XYZ" is a bit terse. What if we shrunk it by about 10% using CSS or something? --ZachPruckowski 14:00, 25 January 2007 (CST)

The current text defeats the purpose of the original Wikipedia template. "See also" already exists, the "main" template is surely meant to indicate that the page contains only a brief resume of a topic dealt with in much greater detail elsewhere. —Joseph Rushton Wakeling 12:49, 9 February 2007 (CST)
