Template talk:Move to Wiktionary
==Should this template have a background color?==
[[User:Mike_Storm]] recently removed the yellow background on this template, calling it "unnecessary". I disagree. The background color is there to highlight the request to move to the wiktionary. Other templates concerning removal or moving of articles from wikipedia have background colors: (See [[Template:vfd]], [[Template:delete]], [[Template:Move to Wikiquote]], [[Template:Move to Wikibooks]]). 

The template has had the yellow background color for over a month before it was removed, so it is only now that this is being disputed, so now is the time for discussion on the matter. Should there or should there not be a background color in the "move to" templates? [[User:Norm|Norm]] 21:09, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
:It should have the background just to seperate it from the article. [[User:Ilyanep| ]] &mdash; [[User:Ilyanep|<font color="grey">Il&gamma;&alpha;&eta;&epsilon;&rho;</font>]] [[User talk:Ilyanep|<font color="#333333">(T&alpha;l&kappa;)</font>]] 22:00, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)
:There should, for separation, notification, and to give the whole of Wikipedia a more professional look.

:Agreed that it should have the background, but only for important templates like "move to" ones, so attention is drawn to them. By no means should stub or substub templates have backgrounds.

== div id/class="..." ==

I propose making the div id/class="boilerplate wikitionary" as opposed to just "wikitionary" [[User:Ilyanep| ]] &mdash; [[User:Ilyanep|<font color="grey">Il&gamma;&alpha;&eta;&epsilon;&rho;</font>]] [[User talk:Ilyanep|<font color="#333333">(T&alpha;l&kappa;)</font>]] 01:27, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

==RFC==

Does this page still need to be listed at RfC? [[User:Maurreen|Maurreen]] 06:41, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

== Rewording ==
I've removed the text from this notice that encourages people to reformat the article according to [[Wiktionary:WS:ELE|the Wiktionary guidelines]].  This is for two reasons:
# The Wiktionarians have expressed the view that they are happy to do the reformatting of the articles in their Transwiki namespace themselves.
# Reformatting into the dictionary layout whilst still on Wikipedia discourages metamorphosis into an encyclopaedia article.  And in quite a number of cases where this notice is applied a better dictionary article could (and should) be written from scratch directly in Wiktionary, rather than incur all of the bother of the transwiki process for initial article content that is going to be almost totally discarded at Wiktionary anyway.
I've also added a link to official policy, added a link directly to Wiktionary, and removed the link to the Wiktionary transwiki page. [[User:Uncle G|Uncle G]] 15:37, 2005 Mar 31 (UTC)
