United States: Massachusetts / Governors Template‑class | |||||||||||||
|
I think this version looks neater. I like the idea of including pre-Commonwealth governors, but the way it's presented now, it looks disorganized. If anyone wants to make the font larger, have at it - it doesn't bother me. Keep in mind, though, that the font size is the same as Template:Massachusetts; I didn't pick the small size.

I just made some major changes to the code that should not change the appearance much. The purpose was to add a "show/hide" button at the top. I deleted the flag icon, but feel free to add it back if you see a good place for it. --Fagles 21:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
the recent additions of hard coded colors to this template are not helpful, since the coloring of the parent template, navbox, is controlled by MediaWiki:Common.css. what will happen if the style sheet is updated to use a different color scheme, or if the user decides to use his/her own style sheet? we will then either have to change every template, in the first case, or in the second case there is no solution. this is why we have the guidelines in wp:deviations. here, we are told to use css classes and not override these classes with inline style statements. in keeping with these guidelines I have removed these color statements twice, and both times this change was reverted. as a secondary issue, I don't see why the image should be on the left, when the standard placement is on the right. unless there is a substantive reason for placing it on the left, and using inline styles statements to override the default classes, we should go back to the default of having the image on the right and no background color statements. thank you.
