Hello
As I was pointed out by Plyd, the french wiki has an extension in css, such that indentation in talk pages is emphasised via a border.
Could that be also implemented for the english and german wiki?
I also would recommend to use
- : for indentation in article
- : For indentation with border in the talk pages and
- > For the usual indentation in the talk pages
It would be more logical to do it the other way around > for indentation with border : for without, but maybe most people would find that to confusing.

Sure, why not. It'd also be great if there was a convenient way of quoting stuff from the article. I still haven't come up with a convention that I'm happy with. You really want something that puts a nice big box around it to make clear what's a quote and what isn't. Something sort of like what happens when you start a line with a space, but without the monospace, and with line wrapping.

I commend for your perusal the <blockquote> tag, which can be customised with CSS styles to your heart's content, and the {{quotation}} template: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Quotation
There's a nice example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy
It needs a bit of tweaking (named parameters are better for various reasons, and in some places you don't actually need the attribution because it precedes the quotation) but it seems to fit your bill.

Ok, yeah I know about that template, which I find for most practical purposes pretty impractical. Everytime I've tried to use it, either the source of the quotation was already obvious, or I wanted to surround it with ""s or something. In any case, it's a bit cumbersome for a talk page. If a template was the only solution, a very basic style would be my preference - none of this hard-coded quotation author bizzo...

Not sure I understand completely. I can of course wrap my edits in a talk page, with a {{Quotation| You are right}}{{~~~~}} structure[1]. But as far as I can see, that cannot easily be indented!
:{{Quotation| You are right}}{{~~~~}} does not work {{:Quotation| You are right}}{{~~~~}} does not work
is a different thing.
So I think for the moment being the CSS entry from the french wikipedia site seems the best solution.
Uwe Brauer since I use Emacs as an editor, and have a wikipedia mode for it, it is very easy :)

Coming back to my original question: the CSS entry of the french wikipedia.
- Does everybody agree to have such structure for talk pages
- Who could add that structure? Which Sys Op?

Personally I find the colours at Fr a bit garish, but in principle I support it.

Yeah right, I agree. Now the question is whom to contact and whom to ask for the changes??????
