With the current Approved template on any given article, I'm barely able to read the entire first paragraph without having to scroll down on my 12" laptop screen. I suggest a smaller format, something like this: | |||
{| align=center width=auto border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="text-align: left" style="border-color:#90d060; border-collapse:collapse" | |||
|- | |||
|style="background:#ddffdd"| [[Image:Approved.png|left|16px]]'''This is an Approved article!'''<br><small><center>[[Template:Approved|What does this mean?]]</center></small> | |||
|} | |||
The above template could be placed in the top-left corner of the screen, sitting just above the underline beneath the article's Header (ie, inline with the title of the article). It can be kept very simple: all that ''needs'' to be said is that the article has been approved: that's the central point that's being made. The "What does this mean?" think could then point to one of two places: | |||
*The template page itself, as in the above example. <nowiki><noinclude></nowiki> and similar tags allow us to alter the template so that it appears as above when placed on an article, but when viewed directly provide a thorough explanation of Approval. | |||
*A section at the ''bottom'' of the page, providing the same information. This possibility has the additional advantage that providing a link to the article's draft page would be trivial. | |||
What do people think of this? My iBook would certainly appreciate the change. -- [[User:David Still|David Still]] 00:02, 23 March 2007 (CDT) | |||
