Template talk:Moratorium

Recent Changes

• The moratorium template now displays a different messagebox after the moratorium date has arrived, explaining that the source may now be used.
• Moratorium dates are now displayed using a consistent format (day month year) while retaining some flexibility on how they can be specified in the tag.
• Messageboxes are now color-coded to indicate at a glance whether or not the moratorium has expired.
  • Red: Moratorium in effect
  • Green: Moratorium expired
  • Blue: Undetermined because the date either wasn't provided or can't be recognized as a date
• Category:Sources under Moratorium now displays the Moratorium Date for each article with a {{moratorium}} tag.
• Because the date is now used in some simple calculations, the template is less forgiving of simple typographical errors like "Feburary". To handle these cases, the template displays a generic moratorium message when the date is not provided or the parser can't recognize it as a date.

I approve of the change to the date system, I was actually going to ask you if you could impliment something like that for me. I would like you to retain the previous color system of both announced and moratorium tags using blue as we use red and pink for fanon and problems with the article. Moratorium is not a negative thing, it is a respectful notice.--Dmon (talk) 14:09, 30 December 2020 (EST)

And as much as I think you have been a force for good on the wiki Tosta Dojen, extensive changes to the tags is really admin territory or at least something that should be done in cooperation with the admins.--Dmon (talk) 14:12, 30 December 2020 (EST).

All colors changed to the blue of the existing color scheme.

Coordinating with admins is a perfectly reasonable thing to require. What's the best way to go about doing that? Is there a specific place for discussing that sort of thing, or is it something to raise on a template talk page? Tosta Dojen (talk) 14:40, 30 December 2020 (EST)
