Many holiday pages are lacking links to the primary source texts for those holidays. For example 4th of July does not have a link to the declaration of independence on wikisource. Many other cases. This could be ameliorated by reminding editors in the infobox to include it with the {wikisource} template. For example:
Hannukah article
So the decision to have a standardized yet arbitrary coloring based on the holiday type dates to 2006 because it seems editors were adding custom colors to every holiday infobox. I don't think we should continue this practice.
90% of infoboxes have a defined set of colors. This is not the case anymore; color is not used at all in major infoboxes, such as Person and Film, and to a much lesser degree in infoboxes that still use custom shading.
I don't think colors should be used in this infobox anymore. Thrakkx ( talk) 20:43, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
Can someone please tell me why the date for National Memorial Service for War Dead appears linked, while Independence Day (United States) does not?
The former is a violation of MOS:OVERLINK, but I can't figure out how to unlink the date.

This template takes a duration parameter, but never displays anything because of it. It looks like this used to be used for some categorization that no longer exists. Should we remove this parameter? Display it in the infobox? Something else? LittlePuppers ( talk) 22:42, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
