message: The check was moved back to the green form, I agree with this. It should be probably discussed here first anyway as this is used a ton in FAC's. I think the green version is better. Quadzilla99 21:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

text: I concur with Quadzilla, the green form is more visible. Just because the banner that denotes an official policy uses a check isn't a good reason to not use a green check elsewhere. It is highly unlikely that the two will ever be confused. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 21:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Please change this template so there is a full stop after the done text, but I think its more appropriate for the full stop to not be in bold, and to be in regular text style. If this is performed, please apply this to Template:Not done. Cheers, Qst 13:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Since the full stop is not a good idea, can there me added a break space after the e? It should not affect anything in a bad way, and I have seen the tempalte being used right before a letter (so the done merges with the next word without a breakspace).

message: When these templates are used to mark off completed actions from a to-do list on a talkpage it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the signature appended to  from the original signature at the end of the list. It would seem helpful to have an option or default to put the editor's signature and timestamp inside the template, perhaps inside small tags to distinguish it or in hovertext.

This means that screen readers will be able to read "X mark".  Does it really need to be more specific?  In the case of this template, it will say "Yes check", seems good to me, and saves us eight characters from template inclusion size... I'll wait for your response before carrying out this request, and if necessary add it to  as well.  , is there any way the software could be modified to leave the file's extension out of the alt text when automatically populating that parameter?  That is the only part of leaving it out that might be an issue for some readers (I know some recognize most extensions and have settings to ignore them).

thread_title:  Alt text 

message: Please wrap the whole thing in a . I'm seeing a check mark hanging in the last column of a line, and a bold "Done" leading off the next line. 
This should be an uncontroversial request, because I can see that this was the original intent of the code—there is after all, a no-break space coded in the source—however, it isn't doing the job, for whatever reason. One of the test lines below  should illustrate the point, if you jiggle the right margin of your browser appropriately:
*  
*  
*    
In addition, I note that this may affect multiple pages. I'm interested mainly in this one. If someone wants to be very thorough, the list of other affected templates containing check marks or other icons can be found at Template:Done/doc#See also. Thanks. Mathglot (talk) 20:20, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: On further investigation: The generated code for the top test line is this: ...ullamco laboris nisi</span> <img ... />&160;Done, but a non-break space does not work between an image, and text.

replies: text: I don't remember. I think I thought a span wouldn't work for some reason. If a span works, or if nowrap works, that is a better choice, since a div tag can't sit inside a span tag. Give it a try in the sandbox and check the testcases. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:42, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: I changed the sandbox to use a span tag instead of a div tag, checked the testcases, and updated the live template. Again, I used a span tag instead of a div just in case someone put this template inside a template that uses span tags; div tags can't live inside of span tags. As for , I figured that it was better to use a plain span tag to reduce complexity and dependence on another template, since "span class=nowrap" is pretty simple text and doesn't need to take any options. I expect that this same model could be applied to other templates in this series. Note that I wrapped only the checkmark and the "Done" or alternate  text in the nowrap tags. I left the  contents outside of the nowrap, figuring that it would be undesirable to wrap long reason= text strings. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:27, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
