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?
