Template talk:Note

That is this template supposed to be for? I've written the old BLACK notes whenever it said "Note:", but now when it's a different color, I'll use it very rarely because it will get all the attention on a page, like saying "Important!". --Andreasen 10:13, 31 Mar 2006 (PST)

We're talking about the note template here. I don't like the red color either, I'd prefer it was black. Jupix 10:29, 31 Mar 2006 (PST)

History

When the HTML SDK documentation was created (and even farther back, in the Hammer documentation), we added note callouts to bring important elements of the documentation to the attention of the reader that weren't quite as severe as a "warning". The original formatting for note callouts, fairly common in software documentation, was like this:

Note: A note about the relevant feature goes here.

This formatting was transferred to the wiki site from the original HTML version. It was later made into this template, then recently modified to the state it is today. --JeffLane 14:11, 4 Apr 2006 (PDT)

So which one do you prefer, the black one or the red one? Jupix 14:16, 4 Apr 2006 (PDT)

If we are looking for consistency in the wiki "outfit", then we have to choose the red - it is the one that's used in the preview warning as well.

Personally, I'd prefer the black + intent though. Blue is a no-go because it looks like a link. Green connects it to a wrong meaning. --Vaarscha 15:22, 4 Apr 2006 (PDT)
