Template talk:Description

Style

I'm not sure whether I like this or not. It's quite a departure from the normal WS style, which makes it eye catching -- maybe good if the description is worthy of the extra attention. I feel like there's room for improvement. Robin (talk) 15:41, 3 January 2014 (GMT)

Same here. As a general rule I prefer left justification for article content, banners, headings and sub heading - consistency. I think a banner type box is OK for 'description' but am not so sure about colour, and both box and text centred. I'll have a play too. --Peter P (talk) 17:44, 3 January 2014 (GMT)

I've still got mixed feelings about this descriptions box. It overlaps the functionality of the lede paragraph (but as plaintext). Overall, I think I like it, and we can't use lede paragraphs as links in the SMWDocs sections - some of them are huge, and they're not available to SMW anyway.

Spacing

What could do with improvement is the spacing! All the pages with infoboxes (i.e. most of the pages) have an empty space in the top right. I suggest, either

• Making the description wider to fill it or
• Arranging for the infobox to start from the top of the page, not below the description

As I write this, I see a third option,

• Do a mix of the two, depending on box length (might be difficult to measure, but still)

I think it's worth looking at a variety of boxes (long and short) before choosing how best to use the space.
