Proposal: Templates Are Pages Too! [Core]

In “Rules and Votable Matters” replace

If a wiki page becomes gamestate as a result of a Votable Matter enacting, that page shall – unless otherwise specified – be reverted to whatever state it was in at the time of that Votable Matter’s submission (and if the page did not exist at that time, it shall be blanked)

If a wiki page (or image or Template) becomes gamestate as a result of a Votable Matter enacting, that content shall – unless otherwise specified – be reverted to whatever state it was in at the time of that Votable Matter’s submission (and if the new gamestate did not exist at that time, it shall be blanked)

We have a provision that “and any images or Templates contained within (or indirectly invoked by Templates contained within) those Wiki Pages are assumed to be Gamestate”, and we have a clause that ensures when a proposal that causes a wiki page to become gamestate is passed that the wiki page gets reset. But we don’t currently extend that reset protection to templates or imagines contained within those wiki pages. This creates possible areas of abuse where someone could modify a template before it becomes gamestate to something other than what the author of the proposal intended.
