Template talk:Discussion page

Overlapping when navigating through History

Currently, if you open an older version of a page from its history (not the comparison view) that has this template at its top, then the content of this template overlaps with the link to the next newer/older version in the history. I guess that's due to some hard placement of the <div>. I don't trust myself to fix this myself, can you? --popcorn (talk) 17:15, 24 July 2023 (PDT)

At it again?

You're at it again, User:THE OWL? Why aren't you satisfied with how they already look?

No, there doesn't need to be a big button all the way to the right that duplicates Add Topic that's shared across virtually every wiki.

Addendum: oh, and the way it works - hides the whole page slowly and unrolls a list of links? Why would anyone want it when they could middle click the old button to open that list separately? (the tabs can't even be middle-clicked!)

No, moving archives to a tab instead of a button isn't helpful.

No, orange underlining of tabs isn't good.

You've already made Discussion worse once. And there was a big mess with the Message template that wrecked Talk pages going back in time to the foundation of the wiki. (no, it doesn't matter that it technically wasn't yours - it was incorporated into the process)

User:Nescius, please roll back the edits to the last version before today and consider protecting the template. It's used on hundreds of talk pages and only a short while ago the 'unholy things' done with templates were called out as damaging the wiki going 20 years back. The further improvement of this template (which there's definitely room for - I'll start a new topic on that later) ideally should be done only through communication with the moderation staff.

What ._.

I could see that you reverted the changes yourself after this topic was opened, but I'm assuming you intend to implement a later iteration at some point. I do feel uneasy about making sudden changes to this template with no consensus considering recent events. It might be better if you actually explain what you want to change, and why.

If I understand the edit summaries correctly, these changes originated from a Discord server. Out of curiosity, what is this Discord server? Is it associated with the VDC in any way? Is it open to the public? --Blixibon (talk) 11:13, 17 July 2024 (PDT)
