Pages in the MediaWiki namespace regarding this message

Capitalize

For future reference, something I just noticed is that any text on this or similar Mediawiki messages needs to be capitalized. The tabs are made lowercase with CSS, but the internal text should be capitalized for consistency on browsers that do not support CSS (like text-only browsers). — Omegatron 05:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Proposals to change "Discussion" to "Talk"

Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Talk Pages and a related discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#Change "+" tab to "leave a comment". –Pomte 23:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

I made the change. As I said in my edit summary, this proposal's been on WP:VPR for nearly a month with a slight plurality support.

This is NOT necessarily final, but should encourage much more discussion and a global consensus instead of a local consensus. If it's causing problems on pages that transclude this message (besides the tabs), feel free to revert it. Otherwise please leave it up so people can see it, decide whether they like the change or not, and reach a good consensus on whether it should be kept. — Omegatron 05:50, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

The main rationales cited for this change are because the namespace is called "Talk:", and because everyone calls them "talk pages", and we want to make it less confusing for newcomers. Of course other reasons were brought up in the discussion, for or against. — Omegatron 05:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Well boldly tested, thanks. --Quiddity 06:06, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

We'll see what happens. Keep your eyes open for comments by newcomers or changes in their behavior... — Omegatron 06:25, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Please get a consensus to change before doing so. Andre (talk) 06:42, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Why? What's wrong with leaving it up for a few days to attract discussion? — Omegatron 11:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

December 2011 proposal
