  • The other place I can see them being helpful would be the gear recommendation categories.

  • A template for the top level contests already exits, however it lives on Notepad++ tab on my computer and it would be helpful if more people than me had access to the template.
  • Sometimes people submit answers to the contests without all the requisite information and others get annoyed, hopefully templates would cut down on that.

  • Also, if someone doesn't want to use a template, they can always CTRL-A + Backpsace and remove it entirely.

The other place I can see them being helpful would be the gear recommendation categories.
