Template:BNF (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is just a hard-coded substitution used in precisely two pages (at Deferoxamine just listed as a reference and at Raphaël_Thierry bizarrely listed as French). I'm trying to figure out if there's a policy distinction about this usage given Category:Specific-source templates which has hundreds of these templates that have been around for years.

Subst and delete no documentation provided on why #55 is particularly BNF over all the other ones, or any other type of BNF (such as the database form) which have articles of their own, unlike the current usage. As this is only used twice, and has been around for a while, clearly it isn't needed as a template, so should be substituted. -- 65.94.171.126 (talk) 05:41, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
