Edit request

[edit]

{{Edit request}} regarding the layout:

In the Box (e.g. on {{Cmbox}}) it is stated:

This template is deprecated. Please use {{mbox}} instead.

I understand this Infobox also as a kind of traffic sign to guide people to the new versions of the deprecated templates. That it is deprecated is bold and big, but where to go not. So my proposal:

This template is deprecated. → Please use {{mbox}} instead.

With the complete box and all the other blue links below it looks better and fokuses more on the where to go. Thx and Best Regards --W like wiki good to know 21:21, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@W like wiki: I think the use of bold on the template is a good idea, but the arrow isn't. It may cause problems with i18n (e.g. with languages such as Arabic), and it just doesn't feel right to put an arrow after a full stop. Thoughts? —Matrix(!) {user - talk? - uselesscontributions} 13:24, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed with matrix on the arrow. @W like wiki, would you be okay with implementing the bolding of the target template without the arrow for now? Josh (talk) 17:14, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
W like wiki ✓ Done with en, pl and de. Can you tackle the rest? --Jarekt (talk) 14:02, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
