Green check
The check was moved back to the green form, I agree with this. It should be probably discussed here first anyway as this is used a ton in FAC's. I think the green version is better. Quadzilla99 21:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I just changed it back to green let's discuss this. Quadzilla99 21:47, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I concur with Quadzilla, the green form is more visible. Just because the banner that denotes an official policy uses a check isn't a good reason to not use a green check elsewhere. It is highly unlikely that the two will ever be confused. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Policy is marked with this check. It is problematic to be liberally using it as it sets up confusion for newbies. See: Attribution and notice how sections are marked. 21:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Unless there have been several specific cases of confusion that can be cited I would say keep it green. Quadzilla99 21:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Please join the discussion on Village pump (policy). Thanks. 22:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Any objection to making this substable?
Is there any? I just mean making it where there are no nested templates, so it can be more easily substed? - cohesion 01:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Protection
This template should be semi-protected as it is used in many many places.--The Joke النكتة&lrm; 14:43, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Bah, for now there never has been any vandalism here. Let's cross our fingers :) -- lucasbfr talk 21:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This should be semi-protected, it can be considered a high-risk template. I will apply for it. -- Reaper  X  03:52, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Haha, its ✅. I actually got it fully protected. -- Reaper  X  07:58, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Too large
The image on the green check mark is larger than the text font and distorts text wherever it's used: can the image size be reduced? Sandy Georgia (Talk) 00:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Changing ✅ to would eliminate the distortion of the surrounding text; these things are cluttering documents all over WP:FAC.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 00:33, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Thanks ! Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 03:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't see the point of the template if the tick is so small it can barely be seen. We don't need to illustrate "done", it seems to me we use a large symbol so its prominent and informative. At that size people may as well use done instead. The template is used in a lot of places where requests are made of admins and bureaucrats so the outcomes are clear on a quick scan of the page - it does that in the first example but no longer really does in the second:
 * ✅ Done
 * ✅ Done
 * Done

I don't see what the second example achieves that the third would not. I propose the template be reverted to the larger size and where it causes display problems it be replaced with Done. WjBscribe 09:13, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with this. I've made the image bigger but not quite as big as it was previously.  violet/riga (t) 09:24, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback; WJB, the point that you're making is exactly the point I've been making at WP:FAC. Rather than cluttering FACs with numerous green check marks throughout the FAC, the nominator could use half as many keystrokes to just type the word Done. This template probably serves a purpose elsewhere; the way it's being used as FAC is creating messy pages.  Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 09:36, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * If used properly in FAC the template can be useful to both nominator and commenter. There are some places where it has been used confusingly and messily though, and I understand what you are saying.  violet/riga (t) 09:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, at least the current size is better; thanks all for the help. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 10:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Does the same thing need to be done for Template:Not done and Template:Doing? -- Reaper  X  19:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Green tick as opposed to Yes check
Could we possibly use instead of Yes check, ? It looks slightly better, what does everyone else think? – sebi 07:03, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Too bright. Just leave it alone. Might that screw up people with colour blindness anyway? -- Reaper  X  08:19, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * How exactly does it "screw up people with colour blindness"? A slightly brighter colour won't affect any person's current or future vision impairment in any way. – sebi 09:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm.. i think I prefer the original actually. —  nerd fighter (academy) 23:28, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

Subst?
Should this template be substed?  CO 2  16:50, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, probably, unless used on a page where a Bot looks for ✅ before archiving requests (like WP:CHU). Still its such a short template that I doubt much extra server load is caused by it not being substituted (and it is fewer characters to type). WjBscribe 02:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Edit request
editprotected Please change this template so there is a full stop after the done text, but I think its more appropriate for the full stop to not be in bold, and to be in regular text style. If this is performed, please apply this to Template:Not done. Cheers, Qst  13:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think it always requires a full stop, and it's easily done without it being placed on the template itself - it's best left how it is.  Ry an P os tl et hw ai te  18:26, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Since the full stop is not a good idea, can there me added a break space after the e? It should not affect anything in a bad way, and I have seen the tempalte being used right before a letter (so the done merges with the next word without a breakspace).

Change
Would anyone have a problem if I made this template have the same look/feel as resolved. Reason being I often like to add a small comment after the check and the resolved version looks neater. Cheers Khu  kri  07:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * That would probably send one of the templates to TfD, because why have two templates that look so much alike? -- Reaper  X  16:26, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not to make them look alike it's the functionality and because the wording usage is for two entirely different situations. Done is something that required an action that was carried out, resolved is a problem solved. I use the two quite independently and miss having the the ability to put a minor comment next to the done box. Khu  kri  07:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * done is ment to be used inline at the beginning of a comment, while resolved is used on top of a section/thread. They should not be made to look alike. — Edokter  •  Talk  • 11:16, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

diffs or it didn’t happen
I suppose we could add an optional parameter for revision number, something like:  ―AoV² 20:21, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Autosign
When these templates are used to mark off completed actions from a to-do list on a talkpage it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the signature appended to done from the original signature at the end of the list. It would seem helpful to have an option or default to put the editor's signature and timestamp inside the template, perhaps inside small tags to distinguish it or in hovertext.

Template:Incomplete
Any way of getting an "incomplete" template? I could make one, but I wouldn't know what graphic to use. The actual incomplete template name is already taken, but the idea behind this is if I were to do half the work on a request and then let it be known that the request is still incomplete and the other half needs to be done. Maybe there's already something like this? –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ galaxies  11:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Maybe ? I'm not sure about the symbol - maybe an amalgamation between the tick and the cross? —  Tivedshambo   (t/c) 08:56, 14 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Or unfinished? As for symbol, here are a couple of galleries: User:Killervogel5/Icon_directory and User:Ezekiel63745/Icongallery. Some that might be relevant: Symbol_stub_class.svgClock_and_warning.svg I couldn't find one that looked like a pie with a missing piece, but those were the closest. Just some suggestions. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ galaxies  19:07, 14 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Ideally, the image should be public domain, so that the  can be set (i.e. clicking on the image doesn't take you to the image page). See Extended image syntax. —   Tivedshambo   (t/c) 19:36, 14 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, neat, I wondered why I couldn't sometimes click on an image. Ok, that makes sense. Maybe just a neutral X, then? SemiTransBlack_x.svg Otherwise, I'm not sure how to search for all public domain icons on Wikipedia. –  Ker αun oςc op ia◁ galaxies  20:37, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

"close" is a negative?
close produces a negative/minus, same as those Declined. I don't think that is a good association for Close. I'd expect something more neutral. -DePiep (talk) 10:31, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

Please replace: with: which will reduce the template include size weight of this template by 39 characters. 39 doesn't sound like much, but this template is currently used 9 times on Template:Admin dashboard which is adding 351 characters to the template expand problem noted Village pump (technical)/Archive 124.

 * How about adding  to the image invocation? According to this edit, it's important for people using screen readers. — Mr. Stradivarius  ♪ talk ♪ 23:43, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
 * , I made exactly the same basic edit (different filename only) to Not done and inspecting the resulting img element reveals  which shows that the "alt" parameter is set by the software. This means that screen readers will be able to read "X mark".  Does it really need to be more specific?  In the case of this template, it will say "Yes check", seems good to me, and saves us eight characters from template inclusion size... I'll wait for your response before carrying out this request, and if necessary add it to Not done as well. , is there any way the software could be modified to leave the file's extension out of the alt text when automatically populating that parameter?  That is the only part of leaving it out that might be an issue for some readers (I know some recognize most extensions and have settings to ignore them).

Alt text

Template-protected edit request on 18 April 2020
Please wrap the whole thing in a. I'm seeing a check mark hanging in the last column of a line, and a bold "Done" leading off the next line.

This should be an uncontroversial request, because I can see that this was the original intent of the code&mdash;there is after all, a no-break space coded in the source&mdash;however, it isn't doing the job, for whatever reason. One of the test lines below should illustrate the point, if you jiggle the right margin of your browser appropriately:

In addition, I note that this may affect multiple pages. I'm interested mainly in this one. If someone wants to be very thorough, the list of other affected templates containing check marks or other icons can be found at Template:Done/doc. Thanks. Mathglot (talk) 20:20, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * On further investigation: The generated code for the top test line is this:, but a non-break space does not work between an image, and text. (I believe that's because an image is a block element.) See, for example, this. Mathglot (talk) 21:28, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I believe that I have resolved this one in the sandbox, but I know that this template is widely used in a variety of circumstances. I created a testcases page based on the examples above, but some examples of this template's use in the wild should probably be copied into the testcases page to make sure they still work fine. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:24, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , thank you(!) for the additional test cases. They all look functional to me. Do you have any reservations about moving the sandbox code into the live template? – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:11, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
 * , could you please clarify why did you choose with   instead of a, which is what Template:nowrap uses? Or why not just use nowrap itself? —⁠andrybak (talk) 06:27, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't remember. I think I thought a span wouldn't work for some reason. If a span works, or if nowrap works, that is a better choice, since a div tag can't sit inside a span tag. Give it a try in the sandbox and check the testcases. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:42, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
 * My tests show that the present sandbox version where reverted back to  version works very well to keep the check image with the 1 text. I vote we make it live, and over time other similar templates can be so updated.  P.I. Ellsworth    ed.  put'r there 01:36, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I changed the sandbox to use a span tag instead of a div tag, checked the testcases, and updated the live template. Again, I used a span tag instead of a div just in case someone put this template inside a template that uses span tags; div tags can't live inside of span tags. As for nowrap, I figured that it was better to use a plain span tag to reduce complexity and dependence on another template, since "span class=nowrap" is pretty simple text and doesn't need to take any options. I expect that this same model could be applied to other templates in this series. Note that I wrapped only the checkmark and the "Done" or alternate 1 text in the nowrap tags. I left the reason contents outside of the nowrap, figuring that it would be undesirable to wrap long reason= text strings. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:27, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * excellent! Seems to work beautifully!  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 05:06, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
