[edit] New background colour
I think this new pink background is too distracting. Does anyone else agree that a lighter shade or a return to white is needed?

I know I am a little late, but SimonMayer, you should be open to new ideas, expand your colour palet. Think Pink. Moonshine... out. JewishLuvah 10:26, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Page protection
Why cannot this page be edited now? --Aphaia 21:53, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
- It was protected becuase it was vandalized about a month ago. -- Netoholic @ 16:19, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Lines
Wait, I'm confused. Is the line titled "Page requests: What we should have - Most wanted" supposed to be a list of articles that we don't have? Shouldn't they be red links at least? If so, why is the month/day article there? Those are all there now so that won't be a red link. And the line "Simplification: Perfect stub article - Long pages - Translation of the week"? Are those underneath ("Portuguese - Matrix - World War I") just random articles? It looks like the intent was for simplification requests or something but then Portuguese language should be removed from here? Why is March 2004 there? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:53, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I infer that people are supposed to take those out as they create them, but I didn't know how to do so until now. - PhilipR 20:53, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[edit] "What we should have" - complex grammatical construction
I won't go so far as to mark the whole template unsimple, but IMO this is way too confusing for SE. While the words themselves appear quite simple, looks can be deceiving! What in this case is a pronoun, but what first-year English student knows that sort of construction? (My mind jumps to the Spanish translation -- lo que necesitamos -- which is an extremely advanced construction. The English version is no less advanced, but is deceiving to native speakers because what is a common word used for other things.)
My suggestion: Pages we need (to create). Get rid of the what-as-pronoun and the should -- kill two birds with one stone. - PhilipR 20:59, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
