Mandatory

Would it be a good idea to use this on all items in the document: namespace?

Yep. I think it would. Not sure how to force it though, bearing in mind there a lot of documents that pre-exist the template and don't currently incorporate it. A form for the template would be very useful though --Peter P (talk) 08:34, 29 October 2013 (GMT)
