Anything planned? -- Banana04131 00:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
We just passed 1,000,000 articles a few minutes ago. It'd be kind of cool to have this up soon.-- naryathegreat | (talk) 23:10, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps this would look better if the first link used this code: [[Wikimedia:Press releases/Wikimedia announces Yahoo support|Wikimedia announces Yahoo! support]]
. Since it's a wikified link, it wouldn't have yet another external link arrow after it.
Hi!
This banner is simply *huge* - in my resolution and font size, all I see is the banners on the first page! I think this is a big problem - only seeing banners. It's like a bad office where all you can see are POST-ITs all over the place. I use a big resolution (1152x852) but rather big fonts (Konqueror, 14pt Nimbus Sans). I believe others can have the same problem with smaller res&font size.
Do we *really* need this yellow stuff? The donate banner is on the top anyways!

We already have two banners on the top of every page to admire, which is one more than we need. We don't need this banner on the Mainpage too. Ëvilphoenix Burn! 03:56, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Please add an interwiki link to the Vietnamese Wikipedia without transcluding it:
<noinclude>[[vi:Tiêu bản:Thông báo từ Trang Chính]]</noinclude>
Thanks.

I saw that the Main Page banner announcing 1,000,000 articles had disappeared, and was trying to find any discussion of why it was removed and the reasoning behind the timing of its appearance and disappearance. Thanks. Carcharoth 13:48, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

The hex triplets used in this template do not match the saturation, darkness, etc. of those now used on the page. i propose we use the colors found on the Community Portal (listed at Wikipedia:Colours) to produce the following:

Can someone put the vi inter-wiki link back in? --- RockMFR 22:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
The article was removed as it took an entire line of the main page. The only reason this happened was because of that user's webbrowser width. The article is important. This sort of 'event' means randomly selected articles get an intense makeover. This leaves a great example of how an otherwise unnoticed subject can be covered in depth. The previous 1,000,000 article is still worth a look Jordanhill railway station. In addition this may be covered by some press, the more info that is given the fuller any article can be.

"The English language Wikipedia thanks its contributors..." seems a little meaningless. The encyclopedia itself is not thanking its contributors, nor is it capable of doing so. Is the community thanking itself for achieving the milestone? I think we should take this out and use something a little more concise in future milestone announcements ("The English-language Wikipedia has reached X million articles."). Any opinions? -- Oldak Quill 07:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Anyone have any serious objections to this? Feel free to make changes. I plan to post this at 1 pm ET -- Zanimum ( talk) 14:55, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Sure it's a good overall milestone, but it's not what we want on the English Wikipedia. Here at least we want quality, not quantity. How about a banner for so many WP:Featured articles? We're almost at 2,000. Reywas92 Talk
I have noticed that the color of the notice looks very much like the new messages notice.
Compare the following:
with...
While they are different, the two long, thin boxes look similar for a fraction of a second. Maybe a different color scheme? Soxred93 | talk bot 15:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Keeping with tradition, I think the banner should be used to mark the creation of 4,000,000 articles here at the English Wikipedia. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 15:06, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
A number of editors have been working on a letter to the community and our leadership to encourage contributions from new members. We were initially going to link to the message from the changed logo, but realized that doing this would make the 5 millionth article message the main page. Here's a proposed banner which will serve to link to the message, and also keep to the tradition of creating banners for milestone articles. Note that this uses the code for the millionth article banner.

Note the banner only accepts (formatted) text; no divs/borders etc. as the main page already takes care of that. -- [[
