Template:Note

If the border is removed...it may be harder to tell when a note ends—ts2do 23:50, 30 Mar 2006 (PST)

Maybe add a slight indent then. Jupix 00:04, 31 Mar 2006 (PST)
This is true, I didn't take it into consideration. However, most notes are short and they don't need the complete width of a page, making the border look ridiculous.
Maybe we can make the complete note italic ? I think it's correct use of italic formation because a note is more important than other things. --Vaarscha 00:05, 31 Mar 2006 (PST)
But is it really more important? After all, it's just a note - an appendix to another paragraph, appendix which tells the reader something about the subject matter, something that doesn't deserve an equal looking paragraph of its own (although most notes would).
Simply put, I'd consider italic for template:warning but not for notes. Just my $0.02. Jupix 03:10, 31 Mar 2006 (PST)
I'm fine the way it is. I was just doing my post at the same time you did yours, but you did submit it before me. I decided to put my stuff up anyway. However, I think I have to disagree with your definition of a note. A note shouldn't go into an equal paragraph because it's meant to caught the eye of the reader. A note should be something important, a common mistake, etc. It's highlighted so people notice it, even if they are only briefly reading the article. --Vaarscha 04:07, 31 Mar 2006 (PST)
Well, definition of note aside, I think they won't go unnoticed :) Jupix 04:43, 31 Mar 2006 (PST)

Why did you change something that wasn't broken? Blue? Framed?? Red??? Everytime someone writes "Note:" as a side note, like "Note that you can also use a npc_headcrab as a handy floatation device.", someone will come along and change it to this template, and has also done this in the past, and all of a sudden it now becomes the most important thing on the page:

Note.pngNote:Headcrabs main use: Walking Xen floatation devices.

If you want an important note, why not create an "important" template instead? If you keep it, we'll have to check all the pages using this template, and write "Note:" instead of the template, fully knowing that someone will come along and template it again. --Andreasen 13:17, 31 Mar 2006 (PST)
