Template talk:Active Discussion

Intended Purpose
The intended purpose of this template is for use on the articles themselves. It allows you to give a reason, and gives it better visibility. Stop warring Staw. 11:28, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'm not warring, you are warring. I explained on chat multiple times that I changed the template and the categories and I left a message on Levi's talk to add a section about this category in the community corner. You are edit warring. So stop. The template is ruining the articles, that's why I modified it. STOP. 11:32, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

The template's original version is what it stays as until the situation is resolved, so yes, you are warring (we both are, both you are warring the wrong way.) The template's intended purpose is to give visibility on the actual pages. 11:33, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

That's why I changed it. it ruins the articles. Please stop edit warring. If you want to discuss it, do it here. For no, I will add the template in the Talk pages because it says "this is an active talk page". 11:36, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

No, you won't. This discussion is still ongoing, and therefore it has to stay on the original intentional use. 11:37, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

Τhe template is changed, so i will. And I changed is not only because it ruins the article, but also in order to use it on categorie, template, file and project talks too. If this page decides that we will use it on the articles, I'll change it back. 11:40, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

You have to keep it as it originally was, or you're breaking the rules. Change it back on all the pages you messed it up on. 11:49, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

The template was changed, so no. Not yet. You haven't given reasons why you want to use it on the articles but I have. 11:50, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

The template wasn't just changed Staw-Hat Luffy, it was you who changed it... I think we need more input from people to resolve this and it must be discussed here and not somewhere else. MasterDeva (talk) 11:52, June 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, it's obvious that I changed it. I said, if the talk page decides to use it on articles, I don't have a problem. But neither you not Galaxy have given reasons yet. you haven't even stated what you prefer yet, but I have. 11:58, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, Deva, he's changing stuff without any discussion.

Anyways, I made it look more appealing, but feel free to change the color and shape. 11:54, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, i accidentally pressed publish without giving a reason. It looks awful with that pic. Either change the pic or revert your edits. 11:56, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

What other pictures would we use? Anyways, stop reverting. I added the new simpler code, so just change the color and size if you don't like it. 11:58, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

The color is good, the picture isn't. 11:59, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

Then change the picture? What would you like it to be. 12:00, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

The size is bad. I'll try to fix the size of the template. Also, we don't have to give a reason so I removed it for now. I'll try to find the code that makes it optional, later. Don't revert. 12:03, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

In my opinion the use of Article Message Box here isn't very appealing. I prefer the appearance used before that. Unless of course it is possible to move the image and text used to the middle instead of the top and shrink the template somewhat. I have no issues with the image currently in use. P.S. Multiple edit conflicts in a row are annoying! MasterDeva (talk) 12:02, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

That's what's bugging me too Deva. I'll try to fix it. 12:04, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sure there's a way to add that in, but Deva, can you lock it on the original version? Staw continues to make changes when this talk page isn't resolved. 12:04, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

What? What did I change now? 12:06, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

I'm talking about changing it from its original purpose (to be used on actual articles). It needs to stay as it was before you started changing the actual text. We can implement the other template later. 12:08, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

I've locked the template to the original version before the edit war. If anyone wants to do any changes use a sandbox to do them and link to it here. MasterDeva (talk) 12:09, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

I stop changing it on the pages. Also, as I said a while ago, the reason isn't needed. I'll try to (and will) find the code that makes it optional. Till then, can you remove it? 12:11, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

One ore thing, do you want to have a link to the category somewhere on the community messages and the recent changes or not? 12:13, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean when you say remove it? Having a link to the category in the community corner and recent changes would be a good idea. I'm a little concerned about something though. Since this is a newly made template it would have been more prudent to have used the talk page first to resolve any issues concerning its proper use before using it from the get go. MasterDeva (talk) 12:17, June 28, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, till we decide something, I will remove the template from all the pages to prevent confusion. Also, the template says " Please participate if you want to make changes to the subject at hand, which is: ". The "which is" part is not needed and that's why I'm asking you to remove it. But, it won't be permanent. I'll find the code that makes it optional soon. Till then, do you want to remove it? 12:22, June 28, 2013 (UTC)
