"Version 2"
This is a suggestion for Wikipedia:Template standardisation/article
This is my version for the standerzation process. Under these two possiblities there are 6 template categories. The goal of this version is to standerdize template locations, template colors, and the creation of template categories. The templated version for the debate is at the bottom.
Templates that belong on Talk Pages:
Templates that belong on Article Pages:
Definition of what is Informative to Reader:
In this version something considered informative to the reader must fit under two criterias.
Two rules which rule out the above:
Templates that require a User's opinion:
Under this possibility ever template will belong into a category. The template category, will clearly put it under the article or talk or user page.
In order to standardize the templates they will be divided into 6 categories. Each category will have a specific color to identify itself. There will be a basic wording for each template set down under this proposal.
User templates shall be styled according to the user's preference as the article will go under user space, or possibly wikipedia and talk space. These templates are only of use to users, not readers . The correct template will go under, Template:User/(template text)

The correct template will go under, Template:Series/(template text)
European Cinema:

General/Message templates should have no color. The purpose ofthem is to inform the reader of something determined important by the user. Some templates included, Template:1911 and Template:disambig, Template:Current. This template is very diverse in its notices so it will read according to how the user believes it should be. The correct template will go under, Template:Notices/(Template text). The current two below are the same as the current templates in existance.
This article incorporates text from the public domain 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica.
In order that my suggestions will count on the voting I am putting it together.
