[edit] Section lines go through template

Take a look at Sino-British Joint Declaration. At the time of this comment, the lines dividing the sections of an article go right through the template. I've tried to fix it to give the template a solid background, but my fixes did not work. Someone more familiar with the template, please fix it so that it has a solid white background. - Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 17:32, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

This template is horribly unattractive in its font, spacing, font size, and color. Could it be made just like the Korean name (or Chinese name template, but just with a slightly different color? Thank you, Badagnani 08:34, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese Postal Map Romanization

I have changed "Postal system pinyin" in the template to "Postal map spelling", which will redirect to Chinese Postal Map Romanization. For any questions regarding this change, see Talk:Chinese Postal Map Romanization.--Niohe 19:17, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template conflict

This template should be avoided in articles where it comes into conflict with other templates. This is especially true for Template:Language, which already carries information included in these templates.

Peter Isotalo 17:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Can you give some examples? Template:Language redirects to Template:Infobox Language, which I have a hard time imagining conflicting with this (except perhaps in articles that are specifically about a language/dialect of China). But maybe you meant Template:Lang? -- Visviva 05:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I meant the infobox. I forgot that they moved it...
The problem is that they both go in the top right corner of the article. See this version of Cantonese (linguistics) for a good illustration. The current state of Zhejiang also looks quite awkward. There are tons of infoboxes and series templates which all take up the upper right corner space, so there's plenty of instances where the templates could clash with one another.
I understand that the motivation behind this kind of template is to clean up the lead, but I would rather insist that editors prefer to simply cut down on the amount of transcription trivia (the postal version are especially pointless) rather than trying to transfer it to these kind of templates. Try to keep in mind that the vast majority of our intended readership can't read either of the transliteration systems, let alone Chinese characters, simplified or not. And I'm saying this as a former student of Chinese, so it's not just a complaint about what I don't understand.
Peter Isotalo 17:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I will abstain from the general discussion, because my understanding of templates is limited, but I'd like stress that it is not pointless to mention postal map Romanization in a template on Chinese. This was the form of Romanization that was used to transcribe Chinese place names for generations and it is used in almost any English language work on China before 1979. By comparison, Legge romanization, Gwoyeu Romatzyh and Latinxua Sinwenz, may have their scientific merits, but they are far less commonly used.--Niohe 19:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
