The new Holds/ Patrons/ Circ pages have a number of queries not on the
main page, & until I moved them over, there were 20 or so queries on
the main page that weren't on the HPC pages.

In other words, it was a mess. I think it's a bad idea to continue to
have 2 locations for the same queries. Actually, it seems rather
pointless. The Note at the top of the main page asks folks to add new
queries to the appropriate HPC page, but that clearly was not
happening consistently. Bookmarks can & should be updated, & I think
most users would prefer to have a single site to search.

If the HPC sections are not deleted from the main page, within a few
months there'll just be another mess, w/ queries on one page, but not
the other. In addition, if the queries are on a dedicated page there's
one fewer outline level to deal with.

Sounds good. Not sure where the template lives, however.
