[edit] opinion

To be honest, I like the current one more. --Osbus 18:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to be obtuse, but what are the differences, aside from the seeming removal of all of the "spoken" icons? I could not see any differences. Batmanand | Talk 20:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

This page is not the final proposal. We're trying to experiment a new way of subsectioning the page without making the page difficult to maintain (see WP:GA for an example). I tried first on the Geography section and I invite you to do the same. CG 21:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Aha! Thanks. It looks good so far. I'll try another section. Batmanand | Talk 21:37, 13 April 2006 (UTC) Just had a go at Physics and Astronomy. Any comments? Batmanand | Talk 21:55, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Heyas. I saw the link here from Wikipedia_talk:Featured_articles and thought I'd check it out. I think the new subsections you both created are much better than the blocks of text we have now, kudos there. The only thing was all the different sized fonts were a bit harsh on the eyes. I noticed a bunch of people on the fac talk page didn't like all the bolding either and didn't want more icons on the page instead of bolding.

I messed around with the page a bit to see what I could come up with and stumbled accross the french FAC page when I was looking for ideas. I thought it looked pretty decent so I used it here (I wasn't sure if anyone was allowed to make changes to this page). The only two sections I did were Philosophy and Physics and astronomy. It's mostly the same as the french FAC page, except there isn't a mass of icons, no bold (except subsection headings) and instead I've just used a slightly different shade of blue, the fonts are the same size throughout and it isn't overly spaced out. The Subject icons don't really suit atm but I think they do a good job of breaking the subjects up a bit more (as I said, at the moment the fac page is just block of text after block of text).

The only thing was, I couldn't decide if the different shade of blue should be used for fa's that have been on the main page or the ones that haven't, so I did one of each. I think the Physics section looks better for what it's worth - more focus on the articles that haven't been on the main page might prompt the articles principle author(s) to organise it /shrug. Anyway, just tossing out another idea. Cheers --darkliight^[πalk] 20:07, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I like the subheader-style and indenting. Much clearer.

I'm not sure about the link colour change, but using Pete's suggestion would be an easy way to test a variety of similar options.

I'm not a fan of icons in general, particularly these cartoony winXP style ones that keep cropping up everywhere, but let's see what other people say about that. --Quiddity 20:49, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Optional bolding of "main page-d" articles

Following a recent short discussion on Wikipedia_talk:Featured_articles, I have just implemented a solution for making the bolding of articles that have been on the main page optional. Currently the ==Art, architecture, and archaeology== section should appear in plain text to you. However if you add the line "span.featured_article_metadata#has_been_on_main_page{ font-weight: bold; }", excluding the quotes, to your personal CSS file and refresh both that page and this, the relevant articles will have been bolded.

What do you think of this?

Also, note that the addition of these span tags will allow other users, if they wish, to add icons rather than bolding by changing their css file in an appropriate way. Pcb21 Pete 17:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Although the wikitext is rather ugly now, I do like this solution. Raul654 20:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Box colour

Do you know if there's a way to have the boxes in a different colour other than white, such as grey, etc. ? El_C 23:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Acceptable colors are: none, gray, red, blue, green, yellow, amber, brown, orange, purple, navy, forest, white, black, bloodred, plain Raul654 02:17, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Naturally, it didn't work so long as I spelled gray as grey! All finished now. Thanks again! Enjoy. Best, El_C 09:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
