- It has been requested that this task be extended to other duplicate templates. At this particular time, I haven't seen any other duplicate templates on files before. If anyone can show me other templates where this would be used, let me know and I will be glad to add it into this task. Riley Huntley (talk) 16:28, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
