Template talk:Very long section

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The template looks ridiculously bad on any monitor that's larger than 300px and needs to be changed ASAP!
It looks crammed, like frightened from taking too much space and really, really bad and archaic. And it looks even worse when there's a normal, widespan template like {{Unreferenced section}} before or after it.

The same applies to {{Expand section}}, {{Cleanup section}}, {{Empty section}}. I also created edit requests on the talk pages of these pages. For a centralized general discussion please do not reply here but here instead.

They should all get standardized to one template-style - a reasonably good looking one.

→ They should be made to look like {{Unreferenced section}}, {{Refimprove section}}, {{Original research section}} and {{Summarize section}}.

Furthermore the new Category:Wikipedia section templates should be added to the template.

And lastly I just checked it on my mobile device and I can see the note neither on the mobile version of Wikipedia nor the mobile app. I'm not sure if this is an issue of the template or a technical issue? Because article hatnotes seemed to always show fine - for them it says "Page issues" (which can be shown/expanded by a click on it) - hence for sections it should say "Section issues". If this is a template-level issue I'll create a separate thread on that later so that this edit request can be resolved in its entirety right now.

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit template-protected}} template. Also, {{edit template-protected}} is usually not required for edits to the documentation, categories, or interlanguage links of templates using a documentation subpage. Use the 'edit' link at the top of the green "Template documentation" box to edit the documentation subpage. — JJMC89 (T·C) 05:19, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This template doesn't display the number of words like the equivalent {{long|section|words=1,000}}? Please may you fix, or delete and redirect this template to the section version of the long template. It would be simpler to have just the one template, Tom B (talk) 10:45, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
