Icon-question-48x48 This is a proposal and requires a vote to be accepted or declined.
  • Please vote below after you have reviewed the proposal.

Changes and Options

This vote will deal with whether we keep Wowhead in the auto-added Elinks templates (Template:Tlink, Template:Tlink, Template:Tlink...). It will be a simple Keep/Remove vote. Manually added Template:Tlink do not count and are always welcome if they fit the policy. The vote is exclusively for the Elinks templates.
