So care should be taken with those (the same is true for the unused templates - e.g. [[:Template:Uncategorized]] is a potentially useful maintenance template that's simply not in use currently). A lot of the randomly specific user categories or templates could be dispensed with, though. | ||
Also, I don't see why the "Images to be replaced" category should be retired. Even a quick glance reveals that lot of images in the category could use an update (e.g. File:Bridge2.jpg, File:DSC00123.JPG.jpg, or File:Jenkinsfacecloseup.PNG) and it's still likely we'll continue to get low-quality images (of which better versions may exist) every now and then (never underestimate people's ability to upload a low-quality version of an image even if a better quality one is available). --[[User:Jugus|Jugus]] ([[User talk:Jugus|talk]]) 15:18, 13 June 2017 (EDT) | Also, I don't see why the "Images to be replaced" category should be retired.

If you find a template that you think may have a significant purpose to the wiki (just like Template:Censor which you recently restored), just let me know. If any of the important templates starts going missing, I'll restore them. I can't say much for the categories; they require much needed housekeeping.
