I just removed the voting thing. We don't vote here as in numbers counting (what I know is happening on dewiki), we discuss things here and then make a decision after reviewing the comments. So I just went ahead and removed this stuff about "voting". -[[User:Barras|<span style="color:blue; font-family:Bookman Old Style">'''Barras'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Barras|<span style="color:red; font-family:Bookman Old Style">'''talk'''</span>]] 19:20, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Revision as of 19:20, 23 May 2012

The first line of this notice is in the passive voice and is somewhat awkward. How about "A user has asked us to delete this article." – Minh Nguyễn (my talk, my work) 04:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Style

You find that any way better? --weltforce 20:47, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I do, actually. The contrast is definitely better keeping in mind the blue link-on-blue background and accessibility. The red is also much more eye-catching and new users will more easily associate the box with deletion. Osiris (talk) 21:04, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Although I think the icon draws the eye away from the words. Perhaps a darker icon that matches the shade of the lefthand border wouldn't be so catching. Osiris (talk) 21:11, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I don't like this one at all, red is very negative and the icon isn't good at all. We use the grey background on the other one to be neutral in tone. The other is definitely my preference. -DJSasso (talk) 13:16, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I changed it to another icon. Do you find orange better?

--weltforce 14:10, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I see no reason to change from a simple notice to a needlessly complicated one with icons and colors. What problem are you trying to solve by creating a new notice? If you are doing it just for looks then I suggest perhaps finding something that would be more helpful? -DJSasso (talk) 16:34, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I'm doing it for the looks. All such templates like RfD and QD should have corporate design like other wikis. --weltforce 16:46, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
We aren't other wikis. One of the biggest mistakes people make that are new here is to try and change this wiki to look like the one they came from. Each wiki is separate and has its own ways of doing things. -DJSasso (talk) 16:48, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just trying to help. If nobody wants the new design, I won't change it. --weltforce 16:49, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I quite like the second one. The current box with the coloured background is too dark for my taste. The icon on the left also brings some attention, which could probably be useful as the RfD page isn't much visited anyway. Let's see what others think about this. -Barras talk 20:11, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Either one is an improvement on the current in my opinion, if only with colour contrast/seeing-impaired users in mind. But even to a regular eye these are much more attention-grabbing. The bin icon is much better. I can get on board with the second one. Osiris (talk) 04:00, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
