Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 August 1
This template does not appear to have much use other than mentioning material in articles are from an online resource that has notably been labeled unreliable five times, with the most recent discussion taking place here. This temp just generates text linking to the Wikipedia article for the website, but it does not provide any actual source, and thus, leaves several articles without any sourcing, and is rather being used as a replacement to citing individual citations. It is categorized as an attribution template, although it does not appear to be in-line with the likes of {{Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity}}. Having a temp generating a faux citation to an unreliable database in place of actual refs seems like a bit of an issue, and it is used on 257 different articles. I would also like to add that {{Pg}}, which currently redirects to this temp, could potentially be repurposed as a shortcut to either {{Page}}, {{P.}}, or {{Reference page}}, as I have seen it get confused for those.
