Seems to make sense to have the items about specific resources together. Had gathered them together, but somebody had another idea for it and split water crisis out from the group, and put it (but not the others) as parenthetical after over-consumption. (They didn't necessarily have to be in that
349:
The aim of this template is to group together overpopulation literature and directly-related biological articles. There is a good chance that this template will become a "laundry list" of human population plights (i.e., world hunger, pregnancy stats, peak oil, apocalyptic times). These topics could
331:
This recent addition to the template of a list of things that it is not about seems kind of strange, and not like encyclopedic content, so I removed it. (There are lots of other things it isn't about, haven't seen anybody try to add the items listed to the template, etc.) Seems like the discussion
817:
was adding too many terms. I think we should also delete the group "Related topics" as this could become overly long. Perhaps move some of the terms that are under "related topics" to other groups in this template. Also I would like to remove the group "publications" as it seems arbitrary to me.
477:
One thing that I had tried was the addition of a section to give a list of people who had spoken out on the need to do something about population problems. This was fairly reverted as a consensus had not been sought but the idea remains.

457:
At present the title has black and blue words which IMO is not easy on the eye. It is possible for the title to be both a single color and a hyperlink. I have changed the title but I understand there may need to be discussion.
600:
I've just removed this, and my reasoning was: this is a bold move but I think a list of literature and publications does not make sense here and will either grow to become incredibly long or be outdated and arbitrary.
766:
What is going on with this template now. It is extremely bloated and is a complete mess. This template does not need to have every single environmental, energy and society topic under the sun in it. Why is
497:
I recently added a section on "Human impact on the environment" and was wondering about a section on the knock on effects of that impacted environment on people. I was thinking about links to

The template is at a reasonable size now, if start adding a lot of topics about other aspects of population it may become unwieldly.
644:
372:
As I see it, the template has several items in it that relate to resource usage/scarcity/depletion. At the moment they are:
