User talk:Modify/Sandbox

Hi Modify, thanks for taking the time to try to improve the template. There are some things that I like, and others that I don't. While the font is now more readable, I think the template is now too wide. Can you make it the same width as the current template. The other thing is that regarding the border colour. The new yellow is growing on me, but I think the border should be the current grey. We should also wait till Cunado19 also comments, since he is the one that designed the original template. -- Jeff3000 14:49, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a link (User:Jeff3000/Sandbox2) to a template based on yours with some changes -- Jeff3000 17:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I like it. I think the width, spacing and titles are nice, but that yellow is something I really don't like, so I changed it to gold and now I'm happier. I'm going to have to make that change on Jeff3000's version also. With any luck I can eradicate that yellow from the earth. -LambaJan 00:20, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I like the yellow more than the gold, which more and more that I look at it, is too bright. I'll take it back to yellow, until Modify comments here. -- Jeff3000 04:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly appreciate someone trying to work on the template. I'll mention a few things... I think the template should be very small, with as few words and links as possible. The new proposal was wider and added more words to the first line. There is a unique problem with the Baha'i Faith because it has no noun equivalent, like Islam or Christianity, so the correct grammar is to say "the Baha'i Faith." But it's not asthetically pleasing to link to The Baha'i Faith, so just the very short phrase "part of the series" followed by simply "Baha'i Faith" appeals to me because it's not excessively wordy. I don't quite understand what the portal is, but it appears to be a copy of what's on the main Baha'i article, so I don't see why both should be linked.

As to the color, I don't really like the yellow. It appears very bright on my computer, but maybe that's just me. Maybe a darker color will work.

The only other changes were minor re-wording of the section headings, which look great. Cuñado - Talk 07:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
