While the red template looks great it doesn't help explain to people
what's wrong with the article. I'm not a newbie, but if we put tags on
an article we should make sure a casual reader as well as newbie and
experienced editors understands what it means. Having the word
"mergefrom" in a red box on top of an article really isn't helpful.
What problem is it trying to solve? Is it meant to save the space the
templates take or don't you like how it is now?
Personally I can see nothing wrong with the current templates, but if
it must change, just put the merge bit (and all suggested actions)
above the "disputed" heading and only put disputed stuff below it.

OK. What's the abstracted general idea superceding
both 'disputes' and 'suggested action' - 'Editorial
issues?' Whats the term to use?
I wouldn't mind those templates being
shrunk...
Great! Another support vote - and none too soon
either.
...but the way it's done it
is exceptionally confusing for newbies who don't
know what it's all
about.
Im assuming that youre speaking for yourself, and
therefore I may infer that you are a newbie? If not,
then I cant simply accept your blanket statement as
any thing comparable to a 'poll targeted at newbies.'
For example.
Let's stick with the first until the creases
are sorted out.
Lets not. Lets move in the general direction which we
all can agree on and sort the particulars along the
way. So what would be a better term?
