I first edited the article on 23 June 2018, after watching the film, and intend to build up and improve it as much as possible. I think it would be beneficial if editors located in Northern Europe were to search for material about Thelma and add valuable ones as sources -- if not as citations, then useful as *Further reading*.

The Template:Talk header was deleted (1) by editor PC78 on 27 December 2018 with "don't need" as the explanation. I re-added the template (2) on 28 December and linked the template with "useful" and "no reason why it can't be used" as the summary. User PC78 deleted it again (3) on 28 December and quoted "template should be used only when needed" from a page notice as the reason. I reverted the deletion (4) on 29 December with summary that the explication of "'Needed' is not defined in the template guideline" and, therefore, the rationale is "a matter of opinion". In my experience as a Wikipedia contributor, I have found the header to be a useful guide that provides awareness of policies and personal conduct. PC78 has a different point of view. The template documentation does not provide the criteria for "Needed". Also, the actual wording of the usage guideline is: "This template should be placed only where it's needed." Aside from the only specific No's being (a) singular edit and (b) new articles, it leaves adding the header to the discretion of individual editors. According to the documentation, the Talk header template "is used on 420,000+ pages". Can we have a neutral consensus regarding keeping/not keeping the Talk header for this article?

The template documentation clearly states: "There is no need to add this template to every talk page." What purpose does it serve on a talk page with little or no activity? It just adds unnecessary template clutter IMHO, and if you place it everywhere then I think it's more likley that people will ignore it. I'm not sure this really needs discussion here on the film's talk page, you could have just left a message on my talk page if you felt so strongly about it. I'm happy for us to disagree and will leave it in place here. :) PC78 (talk) 11:37, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
