While I agree the inconsistent naming of user page templates may cause some confusion when browsing templates, it is minor compared to the confusion that would arise by renaming them all.

Note that a lot of users - especially newer ones who don't really understand templating and interwiki templates too well - have done odd things with user page templates (probably best illustrated by this comic). This is why we don't really touch any user page templates, as we can't be sure how they are being used, and it would likely result in issues on many users' pages across Wikia.

It is just not worth the disruption. Please understand that this isn't up for further debate at this time.

I see your point about the statement at the top of the UPT category. The admin team are currently discussing this category after I brought it up, so I will add this to the discussion.

We can't presume that an individual template is/isn't used crosswiki (Wikia just doesn't have a tool for that), we can't just categorise user templates into the IWT category - we have to let individual users do that themselves if they so wish. So really, the UPT category is a category for any user page template on Central - local or crosswiki.

Because of this, it is probably best that the category description is just changed. This will likely be outcome of the admin discussion. However, for the time being, let it lie. A member of the admin team will change it once a decision is reached.
