Template talk:Proposal outcome
Should we add a parameter for appeals (and other things along those lines)? The MarioWiki:Appeals page looks awfully unprofessional with the old Comic Sans font that doesn't have the template.

- No. We should make a new template if we create a template for appeal outcomes. In fact, this discussion should be moved to MarioWiki talk:Appeals. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 20:30, 24 May 2016 (EDT)
- You could use the "color" version of the template instead, like "Proposal outcome|green|reminder overturned"

Currently, this template uses the Verdana typeface (or font) set by font-family property, which appears to the chosen by some people in this discussion, but I don't think it makes sense to forcibly use it on this (and possibly other templates) when both the MonoBook and Vector skins defaults the body text to sans-serif, which would be the sans-serif typeface set in the browser (usually defaults to Arial), anyway.[n 1] On most mobile devices, this property also has no effect (both in default mobile view and desktop view) as they don't have Verdana typeface available and thus falls back to the sans-serif typeface. This proposal thus would decide whether to change the font-family property to sans-serif for consistency across body texts.
- ^ I am aware that most of MonoBook's user interface does use Verdana, but this still look out of place compared to body texts.

Change the font-family property to sans-serif (support)
Keep Verdana (oppose)
- Nintendo101 (talk) I honestly like the way it looks as is. Sometimes inconsistent formats are a good thing because they are subtly more eye-catching.

what benefit would this change have, besides a bit more font consistency? —

- Per Evie. I feel like it doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things. The Proposal outcome template is supposed to stand out and easily convey... well, the outcome of an ended proposal, not necessarily to be consistent with the rest of the body text.
Also, I would like if you set out an example of how the template's text would look like with your proposed changes applied (like, with a screenshot or something).
