Idea

Hello everyone, this is more of a general question than one for mods but the Stub template, Incomplete template, Tone template and SloppyAI template all have the same layout code (with the box being coloured on the incomplete and sloppyai template being the only exception, but codewise is the same). I'm wondering if people would think it is a good idea if I replicate this code for its own template and replace all the code there with just the template. It would be much easier to work on, but it may be harder to add new special things on without changing the template used by it.

TL;DR is making a template to use the code used from the stub templates just to make it easier to make new ones or change existing ones okay? AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 17:07, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

That could be a good idea, yeah. Honestly if you're comfortable editing that kind of stuff, anything you could do to make the notices smaller and less obtrusive would be appreciated as well. I'm happy to help with text editing and stuff on them but I'm a bit useless if I have to mess around with css Keith (talk) 14:40, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Making them smaller might require a complete restructure for some, but maybe with smaller text it is fine? I'd need to test it out to see if it doesn't make it hard to read. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 16:10, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Keith, just wondering what you think of these two variants of the incomplete tag and if the idea works at all for making them smaller. I haven't changed div tags at all, but it is just a simple thing to make it smaller. AnotherConsumerRightsPerson (talk) 20:26, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

I think making them smaller will be more to do with reducing their title text size, and maybe boldness, to be less in-your-face (but still obvious. perhaps more like the 'revision as of...' box you can see if you click the link to the variants you just posted Keith (talk) 00:54, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
