::::::: How exactly will we do that, first edit the template docs to use its new name and then move, or just add a brand new page and then copy all to it, with corrected docs? I see the latter more appropriate but then all this discussion will be left here. --[[User:Arseniiv|Arseniiv]] ([[User talk:Arseniiv|talk]]) 14:53, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

:::::::: I'd say moving at first should work (including the talk page). BTW: I think that the idea to develop, test, and document (by using itself) a template within the same page is a bit over-sophisticated. You know that there are issues with self transclusion (for load-reduction reasons). The English Wikipedia uses subpages for documentation which works better. Considering your efforts to avoid any redundancy if possible, I conclude that you are a programmer. But MediaWiki (even with parser extensions and such) is not a great language. Hopefully we get Lua some day, see my request to [[User talk:Tyler Henthorn|the maintainer]] (''Scribunto'' means ''Lua'') ;) --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 18:04, 7 November 2020 (UTC)

: A bit later I’ll refresh my memory of those template functions and try to make this but if you can, feel free to mess with this template too! Also, how do you think, does it need a light pastel background too? Right now it may be too bland. (And rounded corners to not look so sharp.) --[[User:Arseniiv|Arseniiv]] ([[User talk:Arseniiv|talk]]) 20:20, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
