Very nice! I think it looks cool.--Neutrality 16:15, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I like it...I can add a few more if you don't mind. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 00:44, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

It could be toned down a little, perhaps something like this:

Speedy Deletion — This page is a candidate for speedy deletion. If you disagree that the page should be speedily deleted, please explain this on the talk page, or at Wikipedia:Speedy deletions.
Protected — This page is protected from editing until disputes have been resolved on the discussion page. Protection is not an endorsement of a particular version; please review the discussion, or compare versions from the page history.

Waddayathink? OBTW, I like the idea.

I have nothing aginst the speedy delete and protection boxes, but that stub box is just going too far. Large boxes with icons spell "error", and being a stub is not an error. -- Cyrius|✎ 01:54, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well, if we're imagifying , why not go all out? And the box is green -- says "go ahead, we don't mind". Or perhaps a satin blue would be better? :D — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 02:01, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)


Take a look at fr:Mod%C3%A8le:%C3%89bauche (stub) — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 02:10, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The French stub box is better. It's less obtrusive and doesn't look like something's wrong. It's a box that can sit at the bottom of the page happily. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:05, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
I can do a little work on my box... — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 04:30, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Stealing from the french is fun! (no offense to the french tho :P) — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 04:36, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Nice to see some replies to my proposed templates, and some other people coming up with some other 'tweaked' designs! I visited the French stub box, and I could say it does have a nice consistent look to it. But I still like designs with better icons with more meaning to to them squash 05:51, Aug 3, 2004 (UTC).

These may be an improvement, though personally I prefer blankfaze's example with the different border widths. The red border is rather loud; maybe a less saturated tone would work better. --Eequor 05:02, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I like the two above. The french stub (mentioned by Ilγαηερ above is nice, but I'd prefer a stub message that is only one line long, otherwise it will be longer than many of the stubs it marks. --ssd 22:58, 8 Aug 2004 (UTC)
