Template talk:Inactive admin

Update
this needs a huge trim. These templates are not message boards even for admins.--Moxy (talk) 11:48, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * do you have a suggested update? Feel free to experiment in the Template:Inactive admin/sandbox. — xaosflux  Talk 12:44, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 * In particular, I think we should change the icons so that they are not identical at each level of message. Upon skimming an admin's talk page, it isn't clear unless you spend a good 10 seconds reading one of the sections that the 3 (nearly identical) messages, that are usually lumped together on an otherwise-quiet talk page, are actually saying very different things.  I suggest:
 * Notice: Information.svg
 * Imminent: Desc-i gray.svg
 * Removal: Info i yellow.svg
 * I have eschewed icons that get more urgent with each level. We probably want removal notices to be informative, and not create a "deadline" to be avoided.  This is just about differentiation rather than emphasis (while not making the messages misleadingly identical!).  Sound okay, ?   AGK  &#9632;  10:33, 11 August 2019 (UTC)


 * I would also propose moving "Notification of" from the header. It's redundant, like were I to want 's copyedit of an article and wrote on their talk page "Message of request for a copyedit."  Too many words can make people switch off.   AGK  &#9632;  10:35, 11 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Ideas seem fine, test them in the sand box and make sure they don't break anything then go for it. — xaosflux  Talk 12:19, 11 August 2019 (UTC)
