Template talk:Xt

Similarity to TQ font
Given the similarity between the font colour used for example text in xt (like this ) and that used for quoted talk page text in tq (like this ), there is an RfC at Template talk:Tq to distinguish them. Please have your say there. —sroc &#x1F4AC; 15:25, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Formatting deprecated parameters
There is a discussion at Template talk:Convert regarding the use of !xt (compare deprecated code) to indicate deprecated template parameters and xt to indicate correct parameters. —sroc &#x1F4AC; 01:33, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Improved documentation needed and lint fixing too
This (and probably related templates) need improved documentation. Talk:Tom Graves uses markup

which is generating a div-span-flip lint error, and there's no documentation on a "sub" parameter. —Anomalocaris (talk) 00:33, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

red–green color-blindness
in general, i think it's generally understood that the use of green and red as a visual dichotomy for 'correct' and 'incorrect' (etc.) is outmoded. maybe the templates should adopt blue—red instead? Remsense (talk) 18:45, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

 * if this isn't a joke (and if it is, fine by me!), yeah! i dunno. if the association of red with 'incorrect' is too arbitrary/fraught locally (while we're redesigning the basics) maybe blue—yellow? i'm thinking of accessible color schemes i've seen proposed in dataviz circles.

Incorrect error message on substitution
The Template is supposed to error when used in mainspace with "Template:Xt is only for examples of style and formatting. Do not use it in actual articles". However, when the template is substituted, is added to the target so the error message ends up including the article's name instead of the template's. This can be fixed by substituting the module's output, like I've done in the sandbox. If no one objects, I'll turn this into an edit request. Nickps (talk) 16:05, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
