::Okay, I see that you went ahead and moved the template. That's probably okay in this case, but it's usually best to let the discussion age a little to give people a chance to weigh in. Also, when you add or change the template on several pages, "Another" is a poor edit summary, because it only makes sense in the context of the recent changes (which are temporary) and not in each page's history. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 01:42, 4 April 2013 (UTC) | ::Okay, I see that you went ahead and moved the template.

:::#Split the notice into two: one for entire pages and/or sections (this one) and one for small, individual items (for example, if the year's just missing). For those small ones the notice should look not much different than a footnote. | :::#Split the notice into two: one for entire pages and/or sections (this one) and one for small, individual items (for example, if the year's just missing).

:::#Consider changing the notice color to something that blends in with the page (probably lighter colors for the fill and the border and/or thinner border).

:::: Good ideas. Well, I'm not sure what "splice" the template means, and I'm not sure how to make it narrower, but I will move it to the bottom of the page like the stub template. How did you add pages to the Articles With Missing Info Category? I wanted to expand it. {{User:Broncotroll/sig}} 01:04, 7 April 2013 (UTC) | :::: Good ideas.

- | :::::What I mean by splitting/splicing the template is making two separate templates for different purposes. The best example I can use to illustrate this are the content warning templates: {{tl|sightingslanguagewarning}} is a wide template, almost like your template (you can use its code to make your template narrower). This is meant for use in sections or entire pages. On the other hand {{tl|inlinecontentwarning}} is a small template used within text. This is what I meant by a "footnote" type of template. Perhaps something a little bit smaller than that would be more appropriate. [[Main Page 1]] ({{pl|l=http://www.hrwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Main_Page_1&diff=736079&oldid=736048&rcid=698636 see diff}}) would benefit from this small template, for example. Hope this helps! {{ | + | :::::What I mean by splitting/splicing the template is making two separate templates for different purposes.
