Currently, the check mark is a .png image file, while the X mark is a unicode character. I think it would be better to be consistent; either do {{aye}} → and {{nay}} → , or do {{y&}} → ✓ and {{n&}} → ✗. Which style would be preferable? Here's a table of the different Wikipedia check mark templates; the check-mark and X-mark used ought to be in the same row:
Check marks | Cross marks | ||
---|---|---|---|
{{
tick}} = {{
tick|20}} {{ tick|colour=purple}} {{ tick|color=cyan}} {{ check mark}} |
{{
cross}} = {{
cross|20}} {{ Cross|colour=orange}} {{ Cross|color=black}} |
||
{{ aye}} and {{ Y}} | {{ nay}} and {{ N}} | ||
{{ ya}} | {{ na}} | ||
{{ yan}} | {{ nan}} | ||
{{ check mark-n}} | {{ x mark-n}} | ||
{{ y&}} | ✓ | {{ n&}} | ✗ |
{{ Chk}} | ✓ | ||
{{ yeac}} | {{ nayc}} | ||
{{ yeag}} | {{ nayg}} | ||
{{ Mby}} | {{ nayd}} | ||
{{
checked box}} {{ ticked box}} |
{{
unchecked box}} {{ unticked box}} |
||
{{ xed box}} | {{ unexed box}} | ||
{{ question mark box}} | ? | ||
Other marks | |||
{{ n.b.}} | {{ hmmm}} | ||
{{ bang}} | {{ idkc}} | ||
{{ equc}} | {{ cloc}} | ||
Most of the templates above are fully sortable in a
class="sortable" table (each check mark is assigned an undisplayed "Y" and each cross mark an undisplayed "N").

Just saw this template for the first time. It needs work.

The first time I saw it, his template appeared as garbage on my screen. After many minutes of experimentation, I made it viewable by reducing text size until it fit. Other readers should not have this much difficulty seeing this otherwise valuable table. What can be done to fix this problem? Comfr ( talk) 18:25, 28 November 2022 (UTC)
