Since {{temp|internet slang}} and {{temp|accent:Spain}} are widely used by many people, they are popular by default. Since you are reasonably the only editor expected to use "Template:suffix" and certain other template names, your style is unpopular by default. | | :(unindenting) Yes, Wiktionary oftentimes seems to follow a specific type of democracy in which unpopular ideas get deleted and popular ideas are kept.

However, the concept of "style" encompasses a huge number of things, so it's not possible to simply say something like "Yes! Please always use your own style! Always!" or "No! Don't you dare ever using your own only style! Never!". There are situations where you can use your style and other situations where you can't use your style. | | :In spite of anything you may have learned from Mglovesfun, there is nothing inherently wrong with using one's own style.

Not because they are "your style", just because they are "new" and "unpopular"! By proposing the implementation of new ideas before implementing them, you more clearly display good faith and willingness to work in group. As you certainly know, there is even the possibility of other people supporting (or just don't opposing) what you have to say. | + | :I advise, as a rule of thumb, always taking your time to post new and unpopular ideas at [[WT:BP]] to give the chance for other people to comment about them.

In addition, the redirect is obscure, and (AFAIK) often not typeable from average QWERTY keyboards. This redirect might confuse new readers.
