:I would prefer 'must', but 'should' is OK.
:I think it is easy to manually add a template to everything under [[special:allpages/User:]]. (I see now we'll need to add an exception for .css and .js)
:We could use [[mw:Extension:HeadersFooters]], or the more flexible [[mw:Extension:HeaderFooter]] if we fix it to work with the latest mediawiki.  However, I would expect that we will want to use different templates for each type of userpage.  e.g. reports would contain one type of header template; proposals would use {{tl|proposal}} (I've changed this template accordingly); personal statements like [[User:Lankiveil/2012 Board of Trustees statement]] and [[User:John Vandenberg/Marriage announcement]] would have a different one.

Feedback

I don't know a lot about the policies here, but this does look like an improvement. --Chris Watkins 16:15, 1 December 2012 (EST)

It seems excessive to say that all currently financial members contributing to the page need to agree before a page can be deleted. An admin may need to make the call to delete despite disagreements. Angela 23:11, 1 December 2012 (EST)

If we dont require agreement, could we require all users are notified before the deletion happens and are given time to object? John Vandenberg 10:09, 2 December 2012 (EST)

Template on all user pages

I believe a template "should" be on user pages where there might be a problem asserting "ownership", not "must".

If it is going to be "must", we should use the technology to enforce it. Mark Hurd 12:10, 2 December 2012 (EST)
