 * See these templates on my sandbox on Tommy Westphall Universe wiki. I rewrote them there to be consistent with my wiki's color scheme. Most are also now divs instead of tables.

Thoughts
I wish some wikis had Talk pages instead of comment sections and message walls. It is frustrating to have no where but a comment to say "This list is (alphabetical|chronological)." That information belongs on a talk page not in an article comment. I am one who likes to keep all article content and style discussions out of the public eye, and that means talk pages instead of comments. It would be bad to see two or three people arguing in comments about the shade of blue a character is wearing. Is it dark blue, navy blue, or midnight blue? That is where a talk page is better than comment sections, in my opinion.

A failure of a message wall or comment section is I can not link to a specific heading in them. On my message wall here, I have a thread called "Merging all wikis in a continuity into one". If my message wall were a talk page, it would be easy to link to User talk:Lady Aleena. You might think that is a lot to type, it is. However, without looking, how would you remember its thread number is 1305096? I would not remember that number. Also, threads are not linked in the address bar by the user who created it. So the address bar does not have Lady Aleena anywhere, so you would have to look at the message body to see who wrote it.

Another problem with message walls and comment sections is the ability to remove messages. That is not the wiki way of doing things. You do not remove messages on talk pages, not even your own messages. You do not touch other editors' messages. You strike your own messsages out and tell the others why what you said no longer applies.
