Feedback wanted on improvements to Ambox templates on mobile web

Please help translate to your language

Hey all,

The Readers web team is working on improving how article message templates appear on the mobile web. We are focusing on templates that use this template. Right now these templates appear when you tap the gray link under the article title, making it difficult for readers and editors to know whether there are any important issues with the article they are reading. We're trying to make these message templates more visible by displaying their description on the top of the article. We hope this will increase awareness of these issues for readers and editors alike.

We would like to encourage template editors to add the type and issue parameters to your templates (if they're not already there). The type parameter will allow us to visually distinguish the severity of the issue and use the icon associated with that particular template type. The issue parameter will allow us to display only the summary of the issue on the main page. You may then tap on the issue to see details. This will prevent the issues from taking up too much space on the page and distracting from the rest of the content.

We have a project page describing what will be improved. If you have feedback on these changes we'd like to hear from you on the talk page.

Thank you!
