Bug #: 29065
Summary: Make "Release status" colours for MediaWiki extension
info box disctint
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.19-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: General/Unknown
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: m...@tgries.de
Classification: Unclassified
Please can someone revert this change
(*)
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki%3ACommon.css&action=historysubmit&diff=404688&oldid=404671
I suggested this change (done by Catrope)
[A]
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&oldid=404641
which - in my view - got a good result.
The colour selection of
[B]
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css&oldid=404688
is convincing and appropriate, as it made colours for status
- experimental and
- beta
very similar.
The rationale for the suggested change was:
1. I made the text "Release status" becoming a link to the comment section, so
that everyone quickly can get further information what the release status
means.
This resulted in the text becoming a blue link, which was difficult to read on
the (at those time) blue release status colour.
In dicsussion with Catrope I dvelolped a new scheme, similar to traffic light:
* https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/mediawiki/wiki/MediaWiki:Common.css
* http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_status :
- experimental (red) I choose for: orangered
- beta (yellow) I choose for i) fuchsia, or ii) gold, or iii) yellow
- stable (green) I choose for limegreen
- unstable (default = grey)
- unknown (default = grey)
The choice of i) fuchsia was not convincing, this is why Catrope turned to ii)
gold.
I suggest you propose a new scheme, if gold is not convincing you as colour.
The current brownish orange is not very distinct from orangered, but gold was.
This is why I suggest to revert (*), or please propose a better scheme and
please check the consequence in respect to the other release status colour.
