Hey there! I am in bit of a confusion with squad navboxes styling. When I first created a World Cup squad navbox, I styled on the precedent of previous navboxes of them matching the kit of the team for that particular season. But cricket teams tend to have very frequently changing colors and I feel this inconsistency can be addressed by sticking to two common styling styles, one for ODI WCs and the other of T20Is. Would be grateful for your help :) Cric editor (talk) 04:04, 13 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Cric editor:

I agree; a common/consistent styling pattern should be used within CWCs and T20WCs.

I must also add that a navbox should be for navigational purposes and not as a decorative something.. thus, they should only use a bg color representing the team. even if the kit color changes time to time in most cases there's a core color in their kit that doesn't usually change which should be the one used. Although slightly different shades can be used based on the contemporary kits.

The fg color should only be white or black for readability reasons only and the bordercolor shouldn't be used in my opinion. I have done it and now restored it for the 2024 mT20WC squad boxes; I will do 2026 next. But, a similar pattern should be done for other navboxes as well.

I'm open to further discussions about this...! Vestrian24Bio 08:45, 13 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Agreed! Although I still think that contrasting fg doesn't cause readability issues tho. Thanks for working on this man Cric editor (talk) 09:21, 13 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Didn't mean fg color causes readability issues. I don't see the need for any fg color usage other than using black in a light bg and white in a dark bg. Vestrian24Bio 09:30, 13 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Got that! My point is just that contrasting colors for text/links are allowed according to MOS:COLORS, so maybe it's just not a stretch. Cric editor (talk) 09:34, 13 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Cric editor: also, if we settle down on colors for each format then we can create a coloring template which would make maintenance easier. Vestrian24Bio 09:34, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

That will actually be very helpful for the editors who create such templates in the future, seems like a good idea. Cric editor (talk) 13:28, 15 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Cric editor: If you could fill the tables at User:Vestrian24Bio/tmp1 with appropriate hex values; I'll incorporate it into a template. Thanks, Vestrian24Bio 03:55, 21 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

I have updated the men's table with some changes suggestions for 2-3 teams per WP:MOS and to maintain consistency. Cric editor (talk) 19:04, 4 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

As per the MOS order, actor Mammooty is in the top of cast listing. He plays the lead character of the story, though an antagonist. As per your perspective, the edit is valuable in various other films in malayalam. I genuinely think that you are from outside of kerala. I'm from kerala. So I know it properly.

SO, please consider my edits. Sorry... Thunderwolf syndicate (talk) 03:37, 8 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

A tag has been placed on Category:A-Class Malayalam cinema articles indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

Hello, Vestrian24Bio,

It would be helpful if you added the "empty category template" to all of these empty categories if you don't want them tagged for speedy deletion. But it would be even better if you and any other task force members worked on populating them. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:14, 12 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Liz: {{WPFILMS Assessment level category}} template automatically adds the {{Empty category}} tag at Category:A-Class Tamil cinema articles; not sure why it didn't here... ^Vestrian24_Bio 10:08, 12 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

hi @Vestrian24Bio, my edit was definitely neutral since, i included both good and weak points of it, not bad, if i call it bad it is definetely not neutral i put the peoples good opinions on the film and some peoples mixed opinions on it, i definetely felt that this is the most neutral part. if you look at the movie retro 2025 wikipedia page, it has the similar edit to what. was mine in the ramayana, why isnt that not considered less neutral. If it is ok, could i pls revert the edit to ensure people have true infromation to view only after you review this message. thank you. Opera91

@Opera91: Reception summary should be summarized by WP:INDEPENDENT WP:RS; we shouldn't write our own summaries as it violates WP:SYNTH. In case of this film, some sources have described it as positive while some have described it has mixed; so, both should be mentioned. Calling it "generally positive" is not correct.. ^Vestrian24_Bio 10:01, 12 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

ok so can i add my previous edit but ill add mixed to positive

is that ok Opera91 (talk) 16:21, 12 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Opera91: maybe ask it at Talk:Ramayana: Part 1 first.. ^Vestrian24_Bio 16:24, 12 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

I think there is some issue with the rater here. I tried to add some of the articles into the lists based on their importance, but are not showing up. For example I added Mammootty into the mid category, but it is not showing up. Do you have any idea what is happening? Thilsebatti (talk) 14:19, 12 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

@Thilsebatti: because it's already inside the {{WikiProject Film}} template the parameter is just |Malayalam-importance=.. ^Vestrian24_Bio 2 16:22, 12 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi there Vestrian! I'm not sure if you recall, but when there was a mix-up a couple weeks ago at GARC, you offered to review the next GAN I submitted. Does the offer still stand? No worries if it doesn't, or if you're busy with other things, but I've just submitted a new nomination for "Christmas Unicorn". It's a moderate-length article, roughly 17k characters of prose.
