I'm fairly new to massively editing wiki pages, and have learnt a great deal on my own during the last couple of weeks. The particular question asked in this thread, is the first time I ran into something I could find no perfect answer for. If you read carefuly how I explained the problem, you'll see that I had a page containing links to all the template pages. With regular articles, this removes the linked articles from the unused list. with templates, it does not. And there is (to my best search efforts) no explicit information stating how exactly templates should be called to be considered in use.

While I agree the first paragraph I wrote as I explained things in the original post was not clear enough, I do think it warrants no such comments on your behalf.

Yes, I needed a support person's help. That's what they're for, ultimately.
