Hi,
I just want to gather some opinions on this. Please don't be afraid of
telling me that you strongly disagree, but also don't hesitate to voice
support of this idea ;-)
Basically, I thought that messages like "This is listed on VfD" or "The
neutrality of this article is disputed" or "This is a stub", etc. --
i.e. messages that are really supposed to be temporary -- could really
be a little bit more visually apparent. Especially with stubs, as the
message is supposed to encourage their expansion :)
So I was bold and made a little change to [[MediaWiki:Vfd]] (this edit
is actually by Eloquence, thanks for the improvement to the colours):

It is quite obvious that before we had the {{msg:}} feature, it was
necessary to have just a short text that we could copy & paste, but now
that we have {{msg:}}, something like this is really quite easy to do. I
can understand that some people have gotten used to the old looks of it,
but maybe some of you will be able to look past that for a second ;-)
So, uhm, please let me know what you think!
