Hi, there's been a considerable discussion over at Evolution about Dr Bogdan's linear templates and image galleries. I think we've pretty much agreed these are undesirable, not least because they wrongly suggest that evolution has a direction. See Orthogenesis for more, or Michael Ruse's book Monad to Man which pretty much takes that idea to pieces. Further, the templates and galleries have been spammed over many articles, which I see has started to annoy several editors very considerably. I hope this helps a little. Happy to explain further. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:43, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
