To do icon

Nice one Jeff! and fair enough to tone it down a little. I did kind of like the 'in-your-face' urgency of the red icon but I guess other people have to look at these pages too ... ;-) --Beeswax 18:48, 4 Mar 2008 (PST)

Before messing around with this template, please note that it is designed and used for inline markup. So if you add any linebreaks at all, you will mess up the layout of every article that uses this template. Also, on a site that uses PHP(etc) generated HTML, never ever use < DIV > tags in content because this can easily screw up the whole header-footer-sidemenu-etc layout on some Browsers. --Beeswax 20:03, 27 Apr 2008 (PDT)

Alternate Version

What would people think about a sort of higher-priority version of this with its own category? For things that should really really be researched/done. Pinsplash (talk) 05:11, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

I'm suggesting this because Category:TODO is currently really big, and you can't just... casually go through all that. Pinsplash (talk) 05:16, 18 August 2018 (UTC)

Color

Changing this color so drastically from green to this full purple makes no sense at all. There are other templates that use exactly this green, such as {{Confirm}} etc, so first option is to change all of them, second is use a color template or third is to just leave it as good as it has been. --popcorn (talk) 09:34, 18 July 2023 (PDT)
Edit: I also prefer the green. --popcorn (talk) 18:17, 18 July 2023 (PDT)

I agree, but simply because I prefer the green that was used. This new purple color is unwarranted. I think it should be changed back to green. Mailmanmicky (talk) 15:31, 18 July 2023 (PDT)

Thirded, the consistency of the green between confirm, clarify, todo, etc. makes sense, because they're all basically variations of the same thing.

We are not paid to repeat oblivious things like green is a fairly common indicator that things are going well in many countries and cultures every time. Lxm6 (talk) 09:51, 20 July 2023 (PDT)

Sure, but a hard-to-read purple is not better.

Everyone had 3 days to suggest any other colors. None of them did. Some of them keep adding green when it is misleading. Lxm6 (talk)

Thanks for the bold text, but no one needs to propose a new color in three days if the majority appears to prefer green. If the color was so misleading such that it needed changing, then there should be more opinions about that on this page. Todo has its green color since 2011 and it works. --popcorn (talk) 01:11, 21 July 2023 (PDT)

Healthy people don't need anything. Only people above need something. Lxm6 (talk) 05:18, 21 July 2023 (PDT)

And you need to take a long hard look in the mirror. Mailmanmicky (talk) 14:53, 21 July 2023 (PDT)
