Talk:JI glyphs: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

@IlL, @SupahstarSaga, and I have requested to remove those glyphs from interval infoboxes. We've talked to the author of those glyphs, who has revealed it was a dumb idea implemented when they were a teenager, and we've all agreed the glyphs are incomplete and add little point to the pages.

: I see, but: What exactly is the harm of that "incompleteness" (remember: this is a wiki)? Nobody really complained about having these icons before and there was time invested into them. To be honest, I'd rather like to have some obvious unique features on pages that distinguish them at a glance so I liked to have icons and colors here and there; in the given case these pages were the (in the eyes of newcomers) most basic just intervals. Why was this change made without talking about it ''first''? Why was this talk not reflected ''before''? I find this a bad style (especially when marked as ''minor change'' as done in all but one case by an [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Special:Contributions/IlL by an apparently hyperactive user]). --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 09:38, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
