<p style="text-align:center;">Wassup my DARPies?

<p style="text-align:center;">I'd just like to address an issue I've found, and I think there's a pretty simple way to solve it.

<p style="text-align:center;">There are more than 1,000 templates that do not have categories on them. By my estimate, more than 80% are created by users for characters or personal stuff, nearly 40% or more are talk-bubbles, and about 60% of the templates are actually used. Basically, we need a clean-up with templates, because I don't think we need templates that people don't use.

<p style="text-align:center;"> (Note to admins, I also noticed there are about 90 categories that start with "Db" and I don't know what they're for?)

<p style="text-align:center;">When templates don't have categories, it makes finding old templates that we don't need any more very difficult to find. I think this is pretty important when it comes to site clean-up. But don't worry! I have a solution that can make this easier for everyone!

<p style="text-align:center;">One of the best help we can get to try and accomplish the mission of having less uncategorized templates is categorizing templates belonging to users that are used for users.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Please consider the following:

Word Bubbles
To clean all of this stuff up, can we get every user to find the Word Bubble templates they've created for their characters and add the following categories to them: Also, if there are Word Bubble templates that you had for a character you no longer use, please put the deletion tag on the template. An admin will get to it soon.
 * Category:Word Bubbles
 * Category:USERNAME's Chars (example:Category:Jiskran's Chars)

User signatures
Nearly all users have a signature template (when you put 4 ~'s on a talk page), so please add Category:User Signatures to your template.

User templates
"User templates" basically means templates that are created by users used by users for many things. Lots of users create their own templates for their own personal use all of the time. If you could please categorize your templates Category:User use templates it'd be very much appreciated. Also, if you could try and add categories yourself according what categories you believe should be added to the template, that would also be appreciated.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Confused about adding categories to template pages? Click me!" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%>

If you're confused about how to add categories to template pages, it's actually quite simple; at the bottom of the template page, type in , hit enter/return on your keyboard, add your category (example: [[Category:Ding dong] ]), press enter/return on your keyboard, and type in . An example has been provided below:

See? Wasn't too hard, now was it?
