Five transclusions. I can't find any policy to support maintaining a template for the sole purpose of citing one source across a small number of articles, and quite frankly I'm not sure what the point of it is. Triptothecottage (talk) 23:28, 19 September 2017 (UTC)

• Template:Star Trek Borg stories (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
• Template:Star Trek Ferengi stories (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

As noted in a previous discussion about Klingons and Vulcans, these categories are not well-defined. How Borg does an episode need to be in order that it be considered a Borg story? Does the appearance of Seven of Nine sufice? A similar question can be considered for the Ferengi template - should Caretaker appear due to the scene in Quark's bar? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 09:48, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
