Template talk:Milestone

Acceptable?
Are we pleased with this template? It has been marked as experimental since last July with no further discussion. It is currently used in two articles: Rheinsteig and Rheinburgenweg. What do we think of it? Fine to remove the experimental tag? Needs work? Texugo (talk) 19:54, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing this to my attention. It does no harm and, especially for readers whose English is poor, has an obvious use. Remove the experimental tag. This whole idea of "template clutter" is problematical in a project like this where server space becomes cheaper every year and the maintenance cost of this kind of template is pretty well zero. --118.93nzp (talk) 01:31, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Judging from the two use cases, can we just replace with km instead? I'm not seeing a logical choice for any other units besides km for milestones/distances. TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 10:01, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 * But in a US itinerary, it will make much more sense to use miles. And for a walking itinerary, it may sometimes make sense to use meters. Texugo (talk) 14:25, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
