Avoid using Template:Note
Template:Template transcludes Template:Note which means that Template:Note is transcluded on all template pages. This doesn't feel right to me. I think it would be better to replace it with <div class="archwiki-template-box archwiki-template-box-note"></div> instead. -- nl6720 (talk) 07:49, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Template:Note is not even supposed to be here, I guess? Special:Diff/802199 — andreymal (talk) 08:23, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry to nitpick, but now that we have Template:Notice we might want to use its style here for consistency?

- I'd say it's complicated. IMO, the first and third paragraphs are something you'd place in a note (for readers), while the second one would belong in a notice (for that specific page's editors). Since we most likely don't want a 🎄 look, sticking to one style for the whole message would be preferred.
- Personally, I don't have any strong opinions about which color to use. We could even add a CSS class specific for this template and make it pink.

- No strong feeling here either, to me the first two paragraphs seemed more editor-oriented, while the last might be equal part reader/editor. I'm totally fine with the initial proposal. Erus Iluvatar (talk) 10:02, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Template:Notice has a
noprintclass which is not appropriate here. — Lahwaacz (talk) 13:03, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
- What is the problem with using Template:Note here? — Lahwaacz (talk) 13:04, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
- There's no real problem, so there's no reason we can't leave it as-is. Just a thought that it feels slightly odd (very objective, I know...). -- nl6720 (talk) 13:09, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
- And what about the Note line? I prefer using the template to avoid having too much plain HTML and elements with distinct style... — Lahwaacz (talk) 13:18, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
- I was thinking of either skipping it or writing "Template". Avoiding too much HTML would be a good reason to keep Template:Note. -- nl6720 (talk) 13:22, 13 September 2025 (UTC)
