Template talk:ErrorText

layout
This template needs to be made a LOT less ugly and less intrusive. It's far too much of an eye-sore in its current format. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:15, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
 * Funny, that's what I think about template:bug. --Fyren 00:16, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I agree with you on that one as well. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:17, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
 * C&P, dont shoot the messenger. I think border and background removal, having the icon next to the text already makes it stand out. -- Xeon 00:20, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I agree - just an icon is adequate - the border and background on both this and the bug template are a large chunk of their problem. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 00:22, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I think both are useless, especially in skill articles. Most of the text used by the template were bullet points in the notes before.  --Fyren 00:28, 8 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I dont think they are useless, they are very good for people that are just skimming articles. I like having these stand out a little just to make sure people are informed. Most of the bug notes in skill pages point out textual errors in the skill description and i think it is important that these are not changed. -- Xeon 00:34, 8 June 2007 (CDT)

Worth keeping?
Hasn't this largely been replaced with the Template:sic? While that template is not quite so "grab eyeballs out of your head" style as this, but has been used in a lot articles to-date and is placed right in-line with the text that has the error, so has better context-relevancy that a banner placed at top or bottom of a page. This template on the other hands is not used anyway (well, on one user's sandbox, but that does not really count does it?). Thoughts, comments, suggestions. --Wolfie (talk|contribs) 04:28, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
