Any objections to adding a link to :Category:Milestone Wikipedia articles to the tmeplate in order to head off those qustions?

message: The hex triplets used in this template do not match the saturation, darkness, etc. of those now used on the page. i propose we use the colors found on the Community Portal (listed at Wikipedia:Colours) to produce the following:

replies: text: that is very light colour background to me, to distinguish it I would prefer something darker. The original looks better IMHO GameKeeper 20:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Can someone put the vi inter-wiki link back in? --- RockMFR 22:27, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why was the vi inter-wiki link removed? 

message: The article was removed as it took an entire line of the main page. The only reason this happened was because of that user's webbrowser width. The article is important. This sort of 'event' means randomly selected articles get an intense makeover. This leaves a great example of how an otherwise unnoticed subject can be covered in depth. The previous 1,000,000 article is still worth a look Jordanhill railway station. In addition this may be covered by some press, the more info that is given the fuller any article can be. Please restore this GameKeeper 00:44, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The reason was actually the presence of a  in the wikitext, meaning it occupies an entire line regardless of screen size etc. — Dan | talk 00:48, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK my mistake on that , is there a way to restore the article link on one line? GameKeeper 00:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: looks like someone has restored the 2 line version. You are making valid point Dan regarding 2 lines. Can anyone suggest a solution? Can the 2nd lines text be reduced in size or something? GameKeeper 00:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Article

message: "The English language Wikipedia thanks its contributors..." seems a little meaningless. The encyclopedia itself is not thanking its contributors, nor is it capable of doing so. Is the community thanking itself for achieving the milestone? I think we should take this out and use something a little more concise in future milestone announcements ("The English-language Wikipedia has reached X million articles."). Any opinions? --Oldak Quill 07:02, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Milestone message 

message: I have noticed that the color of the notice looks very much like the new messages notice.
Compare the following:
with...
The Wikimedia Foundation is celebrating the ten millionth Wikipedia article, written in Hungarian about the English artist Nicholas Hilliard. (Read the press release)
While they are different, the two long, thin boxes look similar for a fraction of a second. Maybe a different color scheme? Soxred93  talk bot 15:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it's the color that makes them look similar; it's the format - as you said, they are both long, thin boxes. Only a color that stands out a lot on Wikipedia, like red or green, would vastly differentiate it - and I'm pretty sure that Wikipedia would rather not want to have a brightly colored box on the homepage.

replies: text: I tweaked the format a bit, make it more like the standard one.  I think the background could do with a change, but that's what we usually use.  I approve of highlighting our FA milestone in this fashion. Happy‑melon 13:47, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Accordng to this edit and the FA log, 6 articles were passed at once, achieving 2,500: Nancy Drew, Arthur Henry Cobby, Bruce Castle, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, Fort Ticonderoga, and Franklin Knight Lane. I hope we will get to 3,000 soon! I think this should stay up at least a few days (or as long as possible). People quickly complained when we had 2,500,000 articles, but it's quality, not quantity! Reywas92Talk 22:03, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Taking a literal interpretation of that page, the 2,500th article was the penultimate one of Karanacs' batch, which would be Arthur Henry Cobby.  It's a lovely article, well worth the title! Happy‑melon 08:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
