*Colors - Actually, I kind of rate this as a "meh". The new colors are muddy, the old colors are garish. Of course the ratings text colors has a lot to do with that, so that may help it. It might also help to brighten the colors a little to maybe try to find a halfway point? | *Colors - Actually, I kind of rate this as a "meh". The new colors are muddy, the old colors are garish.

So what changes would I like made to the template? I absolutely want the ratings text removed. Colors should be adjusted some, but it's not the biggest deal in the world. I do not like the always on diagonal arrows with revisions, but if those arrows were to appear on mouse over, that I think would be nice. Like, have it display like the current system, but mouse over and it gives more details with the arrows if you want it. It looks busy when always on, but if it only appears when someone deliberately wishes for more information, then the busy-ness is wanted and perfectly fine! Anyway, that is my opinion on this. Sorry it's kind of late, I kind of crashed after the 5.0 push, then I had to start dealing with real life bureaucracy (yuck!). - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 23:55, 12 July 2016 (CEST) | So what changes would I like made to the template?

: Sorry for the late reply, but here we go: my main issues with it before it goes live are the rotated text for overlapping revisions and the rating texts inside the chart. I'm supportive of having a way to deal with the overlapping revisions (as with more data being added to the charts it started to be an issue), but I don't think the rotated text is a good approach to it, and just like MaJoR, I don't find (nor I'm supportive) of having revision text/numbers outside of the chart for the sole reason of having rating text there instead. If you guys reealy want to have rating text on the compatibility chart I suggest doing a small (separate) box with some kind of legend instead of kicking revision text outside of the chart. MaJoR's suggestion of having the arrows showing on hover for overlapped revisions only sounds good, but then we would have the same issues we had with tooltips, I think. And speaking of major revision points, I reaffirm we should purge anything regarding pre-2.0 era (the number of pages with that kind of ancient info are pretty small so I don't think it's worth the effort to make the chart relayout properly when that old info is available -- and by capping the chart to 2.0 or newer we are still covering nearly 6 years of data) - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 07:06, 15 July 2016 (CEST) | |||
