I don't like this, frankly. On most pages it looks ugly. ~Gruen2alk 23:30, 11 November 2006 (GMT)

I happen to like it, and feel that if more players contributed short summaries to the top of the UN resolution articles, that between the table of contents and infobox, that things would look nice. Granted, repeals are colorless (by convention), so the boxes look less flashy for repeals, but I think this worked well with Freedom of Assembly. Mikitivity 23:40, 11 November 2006 (GMT)
More, I don't like the boxiness of it. Template:TLD looks really good: maybe if we modelled it more on that? ~Gruen2alk 23:48, 11 November 2006 (GMT)
I like the thinner borders and will use whatever we agree upon, but speaking as an old fart ... the smaller fonts are a bit harder to read.  :( Oh, I like small fonts, but I want something up near the top that players and non-players can use to quickly decide if they want to bother scrolling down or not.

I've edited the format as a test. How's this? Ceoranta 00:14, 12 November 2006 (GMT)
I think that looks better. Maybe drop the dividing lines. ~Gruen2alk 00:17, 12 November 2006 (GMT)
Smallish text, but it does look good. I'm happy! Mikitivity 00:48, 12 November 2006 (GMT)

Does the template now automatically title this as a failed resolution if the vote failed? Mikitivity 20:07, 19 November 2006 (GMT)

The template will assume that the resolution failed if the resnumber field is empty. You also have to put in "voteend=Voting ended" if it failed (in addition to the date field). Ceoranta 22:40, 19 November 2006 (GMT)
I think I'll be able to figure it out, but what would be nice is if we point to two example resolutions in this talk page in a new section called "how to use this template". One example would be a resolution that failed, and the other one that passed. Links to the articles would be fine. The Unconventional Arms Accord is a good example of a resolution that failed, and I'd go with one of the other recent ones as an example of a resolution that passed.
