Glad you got it right! Not really sure of the value of a separate template, the only change really is that it says "mission" in it. I'm keen not to duplicate templates, like Wikipedia has ones like "this image of a dog is too small" and "this image of a brown dog is too small" and millions like that. However, if you are wanting to do a short-term cleanup of a specific area of pages, such as GTA IV missions, then by all means use a category (or even a temporary template) to group together the things you need to work on. But that's only for short-term one-off job lots, rather than to keep. I think a better idea would be to make a "perfect" mission, and use that as a guideline for writing all other mission pages. Perhaps write some policy on how to write a mission page for the layout guide, with lots of examples?

:Yea, actually, don't worry. I don't quite like the idea myself. That's what it's like to be me, I come up with such ''great'' ideas, but when I think about it later after I've started working on it, I think ''that was a pretty stupid idea''. Good idea of yours there, I will work on that perfect mission page and maybe some policy. As for the Wikipedia thing, I know what your talking about. With the mission clean up template, all that's needed is the ''A user has the following concern'' of the regular template.
