Rajko, Henne,

I tried to get feedback regarding the templates yesterday already but
haven't got a response (so far). Actually I'm currently very confused
what you argue about the template mess as to my knowledge we already
did an extensive re-organization of these in old wiki (for the
reviewing process) and came up with these useful and to be preserved
templates:

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wiki_Tag_Guidelines and
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Wiki_Template_Guidelines

Afaik, Remy and Rajko were in charge here. May you please comment on
this one? Either we re-invent the (already invented) wheel here
currently or I got something completely wrong.

Thanks for your efforts!

Best,
R
