The <nowiki>{{Note}}</nowiki> template already exists. Are we reinventing the wheel? :) --[[User:Etset|Etset]] 04:57, 5 Feb 2008 (PST)
PS: That green is a tad strong too ... it should be more mild and non-aggressive, especially because the wiki's background is white! --[[User:Etset|Etset]] 05:03, 5 Feb 2008 (PST)
:Since the <nowiki>{{Note}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{Warning}}</nowiki> templates already exist, I believe this template might not be necessary. However, it gave me the idea of turning it into a "Temporary notice" callout, for situations where either a ''Note'' or ''Warning'' need to be placed for a short/medium period of time, such as when a feature is broken due to an SDK update, or when a user wishes to temporarily present a solution in a tutorial, while still developing a better/more complete one (without having to conjure a custom "Temporary Sign" on-the-fly)
:* Advantages: ''slightly'' different from the Note and Warning templates (a temporary ''note'', with some of the ''warning'''s seriousness); articles with temporary notices can be listed in the template's "What links here" page for a quick review and cleanup of no-longer-relevant uses of the template.
:* Disadvantages: ''another'' callout which might confuse and disrupt normal usage of the other two (note and warning); would require some oversight to avoid problematic situations;
:* Color: not black (more important than that), not blue/purple (confusion with the normal colors of hyperlinks), not green (probably gives out a passive "this is OK, pay no attention to this" feel to it) and no "aggressive" (read: eye-melting) colors. Red is used for ''warning'', so I though maybe a red-ish orange or a brown-ish red
:I'm just trying to make something out of this template, otherwise it can just be deleted since it is not being used: it was originally used in one article [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/index.php?title=Mounting_Other_Content&diff=68879&oldid=68726 here], and later removed [http://developer.valvesoftware.com/w/index.php?title=Mounting_Other_Content&diff=0&oldid=68879 here] due to complaints about temporary loss of sight (actually, it was simply removed and the ''warning'' was re-written to contemplate that new information). Opinions? --[[User:Etset|Etset]] 08:36, 6 Feb 2008 (PST)
