 * I'd like to thank everyone involved in editing and improving template usage - both those connected with the project and those not. It's often a rather thankless and complex, and occasionally stressful, arena to work in. I see a genuine desire to make things both more useful and user-friendly here, which is great to see. Most of my disagreements actually stem from technical limitations. The sooner we can get VisualEditor to directly edit such facets in-article and get templates linked up with WikiData, the better. For example, many navigation templates needn't be language-dependent and many infobox fields could be populated by centralised WikiData. I appreciate all efforts and the ethos in action.

 * Just had a thought around the colour accessibility issue: do you think it possible to develop code for the navbox template which could identify problematic combinations generated through non-default colours applied in fields like "titlestyle"? SFB 22:18, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
 * To a limited degree, yes. Such work is in hand. Andy Mabbett ( Pigsonthewing ); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:56, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
