 : Good catch. We should check with [[User:Dugo|Dugo]] to make sure it's OK, but then we can do more or less as you suggest, and move the page to be sub-page of their User: page, although I'll have to look up how to include one page in another (which is presumably the reason they used a Template: page).

 : Oh, it turns out to be simple; the <nowiki>{{}}</nowiki> syntax can transclude pages/sub-pages from namespaces other than Template:, all one has to do is specify the namespace.

 :: yes, but my point was rather that this is a page that looks and feels just like a sandbox page, i.e. lots of random stuff scattered around. I bet it is not designed to be transcluded into other pages (and as of this writing, it has exactly 0 active transclusions except from the user's page itself) so I don't understand why this needs to be a template at all... --[[User:Darkstar|Darkstar]] ([[User talk:Darkstar|talk]]) 14:21, 9 April 2019 (CEST)
