"sparkit - 1"

This is a suggestion for Template standardisation/article.

''NOTES:
 * These samples are GIFs, thus look blurred. I DO NOT propose that templates be made of GIFs. In usage these would be made of wikicode, CSS/HTML. (My CSS skills are ... ummmmmm... weak.)
 * I'll timestamp any changes I make in the update section below.

CONCEPT:
 * no graphics
 * color bar on right indicates urgency or importance
 * Standard width for attractive stacking.
 * Notices for editors only all have "EDITOR NOTICE" on first line, one or two word description below, and link to discussion page.
 * All are designed to go on article pages.

Style:
 * just slightly darker than background of page.

UPDATES
 * Made them all the same width for stacking. -->>sparkit| TALK << 15:45, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Other notes

 * Use the word "Discussion" when referring to discussion pages. Use "Talk" only in the user namespace.
 * Each template's Discussion page should have "Purpose" and "Instructions" at the top.
 * "Editor Notice" could be used plain, with no words below it, to point editors to the discussion page.
 * Color coded bar may not work for people with color blindess or the like. Reserch needed.
