- Template:RAF lists (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
One of a number of similar RAF templates which are cluttering the Royal Air Force article. This template is visually similar to the RAF template and with the exception of List of RAF Regiment squadrons link, all the links point or redirect to articles in the Royal Air Force template. (The RAF Regiment might usefully have its own template). Greenshed (talk) 16:51, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Merge - I think merging them would solve the problem. Airplaneman ✈ 01:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
- Merge - Seems logical to me. - The Bushranger (talk) 20:58, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

As per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(icons)#Remember_accessibility_for_the_visually_impaired. Doesn't render a readable character Gnevin (talk) 16:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC) Withdrawn in light of Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Alt text Gnevin (talk) 15:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
- Same as above. SharkD Talk 22:03, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
- Comment I don't understand what the problem is, it's not used in articlespace, and a simple alt-text solves the accessibility issue. I also don't see why this is named in such a way as to be highly unclear as to what it is. 76.66.194.4 (talk) 04:09, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Comment FANGS still shows unreadable, it's not an image so alt-text can't be used and shouldn't our visual impaired editors be able to understand talk pages? Gnevin (talk) 20:43, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
- Comment considering the way that talk page discussions go, I find it very hard to see how you would get editors to rewrite their draft suggestions in ways to make them accessible if they themselves do not use screenreader software, unless you want to start a wikiproject for solely going through talk pages and redacting people's comments to make them accessible. 76.66.194.32 (talk) 04:22, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- This is about making the check marks accessible, peoples comments in general will have to wait Gnevin (talk) 10:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- Ironically, I do not see any ALT text being used on the images on the FANGS site. SharkD Talk 09:16, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
- It's not Ironic, they hide the purely decoration images like they should Gnevin (talk) 10:28, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

- I have redited the alt text to say "Green tick" which is more descriptive of what the template is. It is used a lot on pages such as Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources. ~ R.T.G 00:49, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- You need to consider that those templates are transcluded on to some other templates which in turn link to hundreds of articles. ~ R.T.G 00:53, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
- There's no need to do anything, here. These templates are generally fine, as is.
