"sparkit - 1"
This is a suggestion for Wikipedia:Template standardisation/article.
NOTES:
- These samples are GIFs, thus look blurred. I DO NOT propose that templates be made of GIFs. In usage these would be made of wikicode, CSS/HTML. (My CSS skills are ... ummmmmm... weak.)
- I'll timestamp any changes I make in the update section below.
CONCEPT:
- no graphics
- color bar on right indicates urgency or importance
- Standard width for attractive stacking.
- Notices for editors only all have "EDITOR NOTICE" on first line, one or two word description below, and link to discussion page.
- All are designed to go on article pages.
Style:
- just slightly darker than background of page.
UPDATES

[edit] Other notes
- Use the word "Discussion" when referring to discussion pages. Use "Talk" only in the user namespace.
- Each template's Discussion page should have "Purpose" and "Instructions" at the top.
- "Editor Notice" could be used plain, with no words below it, to point editors to the discussion page.
- Color coded bar may not work for people with color blindess or the like. Reserch needed.
