Template talk:Rewrite-expand

These templates are a bit big, aren't they? I'd say we remove the line which says: "Please remove this template once or when the article has been expanded." It seems pretty useless to me. I'd rather have a more clear article layout, with less space taken up by the notifier templates. They could all be smoothed a bit and have less bright colors. - 15:41, 27 November 2007 (EST)
 * Go ahead. I used that Please... line on one template and it was copied over to all of them. 15:53, 27 November 2007 (EST)

image
could we put an image here? it looks boring without one.
 * I'll point out that there are currently only two notice templates with images on them. Besides, adding an image just looks weird. GreenDisaster 18:47, 18 May 2012 (EDT)

Why
This template is very confusing to work with. The reason needs a "reason=" in the summary, with the date it was added (which is also redundant to the page history) being prioritized over it. Worse yet, the reason isn't in a parenthesis like literally every other notice template here, potentially confusing editors. This template needs a rewrite, desperately. 23:28, September 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * What would you suggest it looks like, then? 23:42, September 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Why not, instead of "rewritten or expanded to...", it could be "rewritten or expanded. (Specifics:reason)" The parameters would be "tagged=day" and "*blank*", as is standard form for notice templates. Heck, why not even remove "tagged=" completely? It doesn't seem to serve any purpose on this template. 23:46, September 25, 2019 (EDT)
