[edit] Bad template
This template is appalling. Reading any of the pages tagged with it requires, at least on my WWW browser with its default new window size, pressing Page Down three times before reaching any of the actual page content. We need to condense this template somehow. Given that it doesn't even handle all languages yet, the current situation is only destined to get worse. Clearly the approach of translating a notice into every language for which the Foundation has a wiki is not a viable one for page notice templates. Uncle G 14:04, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- We can follow the example of template:welcome. We can use pathoschild's ajax transclusion if desired. Hillgentleman 15:19, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
- I agree this template is crazy. There should be separate versions for each language. Ajax transclusion is inappropriate because of the javascript dependency. The rendered versions of the page (such as the print version) shouldn't depend on javascript. 75.57.242.120 18:27, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
