==Should this template have a background color?==
[[User:Mike_Storm]] recently removed the yellow background on this template, calling it "unnecessary". I disagree. The background color is there to highlight the request to move to the wiktionary. Other templates concerning removal or moving of articles from wikipedia have background colors: (See [[Template:vfd]], [[Template:delete]], [[Template:Move to Wikiquote]], [[Template:Move to Wikibooks]]). 

(contracted; show full)g is Wiktionary, but the articles should stay intact, because, as is the WP policy, dictionary content is okay if it's in the context of an encycopedic article. Perhaps a second template should be created that would specify the article not be deleted afterw''o''rds. I realize the current template does not specifically say it means deletion, but many editors to large articles seem to resist the tag because of the fear of deletion.--[[User:Dmcdevit|Dmcdevit]] 22:50, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

*Transwikification is problematic in this regard.  As I have previously noted in VFD discussions, there's a loop between the transwiki process (which ends with the article sent to the normal deletion process of the origin project) and the deletion process (which ends with the article being sent to the transwiki process).  Potentially an article could circle forever (and at least one VFD voter has recently voted '''Wiktionary''' on an article, that came to VFD in the first place precisely because it had ''already been sent'' to Wiktionary).  [[User:KevinBot]] and I have been transwikiing things at a furious pace recently, and we have already created several additional tags.  We've also been working on what to do at the end of transwikification.  See [[:Category:Transwikied to Wiktionary]].  I don't think that there's a need for two tags at the start of the process, though.  What there ''is'' a need for is more appreciation of the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary]] policy.  I have a shrewd idea of what you are alluding to, and I think that the problem is not actually a fear of deletion at all.  It has all of the hallmarks of extreme [[Wikipedia:Ownership of articles|article ownership]].  [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] 01:46, 2005 Apr 1 (UTC)
