Shouldn't the "File:" portion not have to be typed in? As I recall, most similar templates do not require you to include that... and since every image is going to be a file, that portion won't ever change. Unless there is some code barrier I am not thinking of, that seems silly to me. —Thirty7

- It varies from template to template, I don't think we're consistent. I know I'm not even consistent about it myself from template to template. I see reasons to go either way. It's easier (IMO) to copy-and-paste from the image's article page if you include File:, plus it is the image's full name on the wiki. On the other hand, omitting File: is more concise, omits a constant text string, and apparently a lot of people like it. There's no code barrier that requires it. For this template, if it's going to get changed at some point, now's the time to do it; only a few pages are using it at the moment. -- Sekoia 22:05, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Purpose
Also, considering the intentional variability/adaptability of this template, wouldn't it be possible to have it replace all of the other {{Req X}} templates? —Thirty7 21:20, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
