ReplaceText failures template

A lot of you may know that ReplaceText can sometimes bring in some comedy gold, especially the way it replaces POV terms such as "we see". diberhaze suggested in the Discord server that a template for ReplaceText failures may be needed. Gilby1385 (talk) 11:37, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Abstain

1.  Abstain The reason the Section Misuse template worked was because of the ease of implementation. With one ReplaceText job, many of the phrases misusing Technique or adding a subjective legacy would be tagged for misuse. This is because most of the time, they have a common phrase that ties them all. For this though, there are many different ways that a "we see" comment can be followed with incorrect grammar, so much so that a job to automatically tag them all would be inefficient, and it would be way easier to just edit out the grammar error via a page edit rather than just tagging it and not doing anything about it.
