Replace image

REPLACE ALL INSTANCES OF THIS COPYVIO IMAGE WITH Image:Lock-icon.png

No longer an issue, since the copyvio image has already been replaced with another PD SVG image. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 07:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Table

The table in this message should be replaced with CSS similar to that found at vi:MediaWiki:Readonlytext or Template:GFDL. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 07:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Error

This message is not showing up correctly. The last time I saw it it looked like this:

There was an unfixed change in the parsing of system messages. Should be fixed by now. Calvin 1998 ^(t-c) 17:46, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

I think we should just use an ambox for this

{{ambox | type = notice | image = [[Image:Padlock.svg|45px|Database locked]] | text = The Wikipedia database is temporarily in read-only mode for the following reason: <div>'''$1'''</div> This is probably due to routine maintenance; if so, you will be able to edit again within a few minutes.

It needs to be the same style as the other MediaWiki messages. Also, transclusion doesn't work when the message is rendered. haz (talk) 21:53, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Using a different version of the lock image?

Similarly to what was discussed at MediaWiki talk:Protect-text#Using a different version of the lock image?, are there any thoughts on switching the lock icon here from the standard full-protection lock with an "F" on it to File:Full-protection-shackle-keyhole.svg or File:Full-protection-shackle-no-text.svg (both pictured below)? Given that a database lock is different from full protection, I'm not sure the new lock with an "F" on it is a good fit for our use case here as I suspect the old full protection lock icon was used to just represent a general "lock" as opposed to applied full protection and that a big "F" might be confusing.

• 
  Same lock, keyhole instead of "F"
• 
  Same lock, no "F" or other icon

While we used the keyhole version at MediaWiki:Protect-text under a similar rationale, I'm open to any thoughts. Best, Mifter (talk) 02:20, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

I have also linked to this discussion at MediaWiki talk:Readonlywarning as the messages are very similar and if we switch one, we probably want to switch both. Mifter (talk) 02:23, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Please add ", or Wikimedia Community ^{join on Discord} on Discord" to the message after the part about visiting IRC. People have Discord and it seems as if sometimes there is a bit more information on Discord than on IRC. Awesome Aasim 18:14, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
