Template talk:Rewrite-expand

These templates are a bit big, aren't they? I'd say we remove the line which says:

Please remove this template once or when the article has been expanded.

It seems pretty useless to me. I'd rather have a more clear article layout, with less space taken up by the notifier templates. They could all be smoothed a bit and have less bright colors. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:41, 27 November 2007 (EST)

Go ahead. I used that Please... line on one template and it was copied over to all of them. Wa _T^C_@^Y 15:53, 27 November 2007 (EST)

could we put an image here? it looks boring without one. TheWho Loves Dots...

I'll point out that there are currently only two notice templates with images on them. Besides, adding an image just looks weird. GreenDisaster 18:47, 18 May 2012 (EDT)

Why

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

This template is very confusing to work with. The reason needs a "reason=" in the summary, with the date it was added (which is also redundant to the page history) being prioritized over it. Worse yet, the reason isn't in a parenthesis like literally every other notice template here, potentially confusing editors. This template needs a rewrite, desperately.

What would you suggest it looks like, then? 23:42, September 25, 2019 (EDT)

Why not, instead of "rewritten or expanded to...", it could be "rewritten or expanded. (Specifics:reason)" The parameters would be "tagged=day" and "*blank*", as is standard form for notice templates. Heck, why not even remove "tagged=" completely? It doesn't seem to serve any purpose on this template. TheDarkStar 23:46, September 25, 2019 (EDT)

Make an Expand template

Make an Expand template

Lately I've been seeing pages with the rewrite-expand template that don't need rewriting, so I think that we should still keep the rewrite-expand template, but create a new one, used on articles that have enough information to not be a stub but need more information on certain subjects. It will look like this:

It has been requested that this article be expanded to include more information.

Can someone fix the technical aspects of the expand template? I'm not really good with this.DarkNight 00:23, August 13, 2020 (EDT)
