Template talk:incomplete
I like the idea of this template. But I'm wondering if we can make it more vertically compact by shrinking the characters a bit. I think it takes up a bit more space than it needs to. Also, this way, we could use the general format of the bar for other header notices. TheHYPO (talk) 14:31, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- Originally, the characters were sized at 45px, but with the broken image scaling they showed up as broken images. While somewhat apropos for the template, it wasn't what was intended. So I took out the 45px scaling, and they were too large. Given the choice between broken images or large images, I decided to leave them large. Once the image scaling issue is solved, I'm all for shrinking them back to 45px. Blaisepascal (talk) 14:38, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- I've just created {{ambox}} akin to wikipedia's template:Ambox for header messasges on pages. Not sure if we'll really need many of them but I thought why not standardize. I do like that your box is a bit more narrow and compact, but I thought uniformity might win out over a single pretty template.
- To that end, I updated this template but put it in a beta location for the time being because, as you say, scaled images are broken. {{Incomplete/beta1}} is what I propose to replace this with once scaling is fixed. Feel free to discuss here whether you like it or not. We could ultimately setup a "type" field for ambox rather than manually putting in a color like they do at wiki (red for big issues, and colour coded down depending on the type of issue) TheHYPO (talk) 14:47, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't create this template, merely edited it. It was created by Omega, I believe. Blaisepascal (talk) 14:50, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Recently there have been a lot of people preemptively removing incomplete tags. I think it would be a good idea to add a note to this template along the lines of "do not remove this too early". RamenChef (talk) 16:20, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
