Template talk:Rewrite

New Template Design!

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit any of the sections in the proposal. If you wish to discuss the article, do so in a new header below the proposal.

DON'T MAKE CHANGES 1-7

We can change the color, add an icon for the Rewrite, Rewrite-expand and Rewrite-expand. Which meaning:

style="Template:Radius; border:1px solid #0000C0;background:-webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left bottom,color-stop(0,#6464C0),color-stop(1,#3232C0))" | New Rewrite Template

style="Template:Radius; border:1px solid #0000C0;background:-webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left bottom,color-stop(0,#6464C0),color-stop(1,#3232C0))" | New Rewrite-expand Template

style="Template:Radius; border:1px solid #0000C0;background:-webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left bottom,color-stop(0,#6464C0),color-stop(1,#3232C0))" | New Section-expand Template

1. Walkazo (talk) - The icons seem unnecessary and don't really fit how the templates actually work relative to each other. {{Rewrite}} is just about rewriting and not necessarily bringing in new content, but {{Rewrite-expand}} is the template about expanding, which is an extension of rewriting (as reflected by the name) because the content's that already there usually gets rewritten as part of the process of getting added to. (On a side-note, the idea of a plain "Expand" template was always thought of as redundant in the face of "Rewrite-expand", hence it always gets deleted when it's brought back.) {{Section-expand}} is for fixing sections only, hence it's called "section-expand" ("section-rewrite-expand" is more accurate, but it's too long) and has different coding: it's not the third template in a three-piece set (as the icons imply), it's more like an accessory. The colour's also kinda meh, and the current dark blue stands out and alerts editors to the situation perfectly well, so why mess with it?
2. Marshal Dan Troop (talk) Your designs look ugly and I much prefer the straight forwardness of the current template design. Also you've given no argument for why we should change the design all you say is that we can and just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
3. BluePiranha (talk) The current designs are better in my opinion. Per Walkazo.
4. YoshiKong (talk) Per all. We shouldn't worry too much about how the templates look. It's the way they are used that matters. Asides from that, I'm happy with the solid colors and design we have at present.
5. Mario4Ever (talk) Per Walkazo.
6. BowserJunior (talk) Per all. This is completely unnecessary.
7. Phoenix (talk) They're fine the way they are. Per Walkazo.

Comments

Why you say this? This is better, at least it has got an image.. i Change the rewrite image to any of this:

• 

If you see that this is better than the dictionary icon please comment here.

style="Template:Radius; border:1px solid #0000C0;background:-webkit-gradient(linear,left top,left bottom,color-stop(0,#6464C0),color-stop(1,#3232C0))" | New Rewrite Template

There's different colour backgrounds now? No, that's even worse: all three templates are about the same subject matter (fixing up the written content), and they should be the same colour. And whether or not an image is actually an improvement over no image is a subjective choice made by each individual: you think it's better if there's "at least" an image, but I personally think these serious maintenance templates look better without any images. Both are valid stances, so which is ultimately "better" is really a matter of which opinion is shared by the most users. - Walkazo 12:59, 8 December 2012 (EST)
