Colors
[edit]
- Ok what color or style do you suggest? (WT-en) –sumone10154 11:02, 28 March 2011 (EDT)
- Purple or blue would soften it, I think. I used yellow for Template:Cautionbox, which might also work. (WT-en) LtPowers 22:14, 25 August 2011 (EDT)
- Purple sounds good. (WT-en) texugo 00:32, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
- I couldn't get purple to work well; it turned out pink. I've changed it to a light blue, which I think looks pretty good, though you're welcome to try out some other colors. (WT-en) LtPowers 13:41, 26 August 2011 (EDT)

Displaying date last updated
[edit]I think that the box should display when it was last updated as this information is subject to change frequently. Other caution boxes do this. Does anyone know how to do this? Ground Zero (talk) 12:17, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- Done. Ground Zero (talk) 20:38, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
Updates
[edit]- I have recently fixed almost every VisaRestriction box where the
lastedit=date was missing. There's one outstanding edit request for the final (protected) page. - I have also updated both the template documentation and the descriptive text in the two error tracking categories, and cross-linked those pages.
- Finally, the
template parametersinformation on the/docpage is complete and is up to date, but there is an outdated incomplete duplicate version of the template parameters on the (protected) main template code page that should be deleted.
Usage
[edit]Where this template is used in an article, is there any expectation that there will be just one instance per page? The documentation is silent on this topic - some articles have up to four of these boxes scattered throughout. A reader may read the first one and miss the fact that there are others further on down the page.
Every instance (except one - see above) of this template now has a lastedit= parameter within. However, rather than having a valid YYYY-MM-DD date value, some have the word permanent instead. Is this a valid usage? The documentation is silent on this topic, and there is no tracking category for it.
