--- Comment #2 from Bawolff (Brian Wolff) <bawolff...@gmail.com> ---
This was rejected way back in the day (bug 7865). I assume the rejection still
stands.

2) It keeps this string local to the only page where it will be used, thus not
polluting the template namespace, and avoiding potential name conflicts with
other templates.

Fun fact, there are
74106937111882365071085430405560261026092790186009960985252853765064
40296955904 possible template names, (This is an under-estimate, I didn't count
most non-english letters). You could easily use
Template:PageNameHere/Specific_string_name, or even just make it a subpage of
the actual page not in the template namespace, etc. Now namespacing things
might be nice just generally, but we're not running out of template names.

>It is rated as stable.

Just for the record, those ratings are done by the extension author. There are
lots of extensions marked unstable which are actually more stable than the
stable extensions. So the rating is pretty much meaningless. (Which isn't
necessarily to say anything bad about this particular extension, I have no idea
how stable it may or may not be)
