Edit request on 28 January 2012
Template:FPER Change the text "how to use or edit" from pink to red. It is quite hard to read on some monitors. Rcsprinter (converse) 18:02, 28 January 2012 (UTC) Rcsprinter (converse) 18:02, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Per the page history it seems that Orangemike changed red to green to avoid the appearance of a red link, then Fuhghettaboutit changed it from Green to Fuchsia (pink) in an attempt to have the same look at this effect as Red. I changed it as I thought it was a reasonable request but undid my edit from looking at the history - this needs discussion - perhaps we need an alternative colour?

- Declining for now. Let's see if we can have a discussion as to whether this is even a problem before even more ping-pong with the colour of the
bikeshedfont. FWIW I wouldn't pick red, as not only is that a colour indicating severity (this is not a warning of any sort) but is also the canonical colour for broken Web links, especially on Wikipedia. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 16:14, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
High-risk?
This seems to have been full-protected 4 years ago and left that way ever since. Perhaps it was needed at the time, but I don't see a reason now. Even the noticeboard headers aren't full-protected. The only real (live-use, non-user) transclusion is on this page. Knowing full well of the better-safe-than-sorry argument, generally we don't accept that approach to justify full protection. Can someone change this to semi-protect? Equazcion (talk) 12:22, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
Reformattings
I have a few thoughts about this header:Template:Ordered listAnyway seems like this template is due for some updates. Please discuss these / suggest your own / boldly implement yourself / ignore entirely, as your heart dictates. Folly Mox (talk) 17:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- I'm generally opposed to promoting the Wikimedia Community Discord as a help venue. The moderation tools we have on Discord just aren't as fine-grained as the ones available on IRC, both for dealing with disruptive helpees, well-meaning but unhelpful helpers, and the paid editors who lurk in the shadows. We also don't have a great way to replicate #wikipedia-en-helpers, which I saw as vital to the operation of -en-help when it was busier, and I wouldn't want to direct folks somewhere without such a support system.

- That's good information! Thank you. Folly Mox (talk) 14:16, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
