How about a discussion here of how this would apply to a few languages (say in the top 20 or so)?
 
=== Suitability and Applicability ====
There needs to be an anchor for the emerging discussion on the suitability of this task for RC as the comments are under several headings.
 
When I borrowed this problem as a task, I did so not knowing if the task has general applicability. I did state this at the top of the talk page and I did want a discussion. I think the discussion so far has some value. I'm not sure about the ultimate outcome. --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 19:12, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
 
: It might be appropriate to put some kind of a warning see this discussion on the task page to read the discussion. Is there a template for that? --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 19:12, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
: What options are there if the task doesn't survive? It evolves into something else possibly removing the restrictions? Is there a dead tasks template? Other? --[[User:Dgamey|Dgamey]] 19:12, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
