Also, one last point I would like to make:

I don't think very many people will be driven to any of the Suggestion page threads on this topic at all from the Shiplist template.

1.  There's no easy way to view the changelog for templates. You have to manually navigate to Template:Shiplist and then click on the history there to see anyone's comments.

2.  Similarly, there's no comments pages for Templates (typically), so everyone must either navigate here or post it on a random location where the template is used.

3.  As I mentioned before, navigating to these threads is a process of following a trail of broken links (after even finding the template page in the first place), so I imagine those patient and clever enough to get through that process will be pretty much zero. The only reason I found my way to this thread was I'd read parts of it in passing previously so I knew it must exist somewhere and I just clicked through Suggestions page-by-page and used Ctrl+F to find it.

4.  I don't think this is a matter which will incite strong opinion in many different people to even trigger the long process of getting here.

Unless there's someone here ballsy enough to do something rather drastic like put a link (preferably a funtional one) to the appropriate discussion venue inside the template itself and request opinions that way, it's pretty much just going to be us in here.
