I looked at the template. Overall it looks quite good. I like the PDDP contents link, but it seems to me it should be switched with [pd META] since that's a prominent location, and people aren't really going to be looking as [pd META] so much. [pd META] is kind of a type of "More Info" anyway.
But I am worried about maintainability of the canvas behind the float,
and the bullet points. While some of us would make the effort, I am
sure that many would not. Then the patches would lack consistency.
Ideally, we can have this all incorporated into an easy to copy
template. Maybe something like a having the comment
Also, in More Info, there should be a way to navigate to subpatch pages of that help file for patches like makefilename-help.pd that have multiple pages. There should be some standard name for this, maybe [pd Next Page]?
One last little thing, I don't think you need to explain the inlet numbering on every patch, there should be a glossary of sorts for people to look that up. Once you look at a few of these, then it will be obvious.
Here's my minor edits:
