I don't like the picture --GeorgeMoneyTalk  Contribs 07:26, 17 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Propose a better one. We can create another template and give ourselves the choice of picture. NoSeptember talk 07:57, 17 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You can use a parameter now to define it. //Ae:æ 16:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Do you think we could get a graphics designer to make an image like "A scene of a family at home next to the fireplace at Christmas with the wikipedia logo inplace of the Christmas tree" or something like that? --GeorgeMoneyTalk  Contribs 23:01, 25 April 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think a vacation scene is more appropriate myself. //Ae:æ 23:32, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've been bold and put Image:Nuvola apps kweather.png. Revert if you wish. GeorgeMoney (talk) 23:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I think the image is great ^___^ - FrancisTyers 14:32, 19 May 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Image[edit]

I've got some proposals for images:

GeorgeMoney (talk) 23:50, 9 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I really like what I put. //Ae:æ 22:44, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, yours is good. I made this proposal before you put yours. GeorgeMoney (talk) 23:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
An iconic image would obviously be best, but nothing in Nuvola seems to fit the bill... (At least that's my opinion) //Ae:æ 16:24, 18 July 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Umm... what does the current image have to do with taking a break? Borisblue 01:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Something metaphorical?  Maybe, David Kernow 02:22, 19 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]
A break from the sunlight, and yet at the same time others receive sunlight and the world goes on. Ian¹³/t 15:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Red-linked category[edit]

One of the categories the template is supposed to add people to is redlined on the main page. -- Kendrick7 07:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That category was deleted. See Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_August_27#Category:Users_currently_away_from_Wikipedia

Text alignment[edit]

Would someone please add a parameter to choose a text alignment option for the message text? I'm of the school that messages should be aligned flush left for easier reading. Since this isn't a universally-held view, most likely the best solution would be to add a parameter to the template. (See a previous version of the ((Nutshell)) template.) I don't know enough about how to write code to do this myself. It would be great if when the parameter is left empty it defaults to center-aligned text, as that's what everyone's used to.

This template doesn't work[edit]

I put this on my talk page, but I still kept editing Wikipedia. What did I do wrong? --Merzul 18:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It's not supposed to block you from editing, only admins can do that. - BANG! 04:00, 3 June 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Change the colour and picture[edit]

Is it okay if I change the template round? With the colour and picture, because to be honest at the minute it looks very dull and unattractive currently. Francisco Tevez 11:44, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I suggest setting up a test page for trying out changes. About 800 pages use this template so any change should gain consensus. I think a better picture might be in order but it should somehow relate to vacation (i.e. a beach scene or something). -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 22:34, 1 July 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm definitely in favour of an image change, I've found this and think it looks much better however the colour I think is OK for the minute, The Sunshine Man is now Qst 16:44, 3 July 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If you object to the change of image mentioned above please specify this to determine consensus. Thanks -Qst 11:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

OK - I'm ok with the image change, but it's very subtle. -- Mufka (user) (talk) (contribs) 06:01, 10 July 2007 (UTC)Reply[reply]

A feature request[edit]

Could we add the value "new baby" to the "types" field in the template? Sheesh, one can find an existing Wikibreak template for ((exams)) and even being ((grounded)). One could conclude from this odd set of priorities in the needs addressed that the average Wikipedian was a fifteen year-old male living in his parents basement. :-/ llywrch (talk) 07:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

feature request[edit]

I'd like to add new type "semi." Is this syntax valid?

{| class="messagebox standard" style=background:#F8EABA |- | [[Image:(( #switch: (({type))} | exams = Nuvola apps bookcase.png | attempting | wikibreak | normal | short | #default = Sunset at Huntington Beach.jpg ))|((#if:|(({imagesize))}|75px))]] | style="text-align: center"| (( #switch: (({type))} |exams = '''((BASEPAGENAME))''' is taking a short '''[[Wikipedia:Wikibreak|wikibreak]]''' to get ready for exams and will be back on Wikipedia once the exams are ((#if: |over on :(({2))}.|over.))| attempting = '''((BASEPAGENAME))''' is trying to take a short '''[[Wikipedia:Wikiholiday|wikibreak]]''' and will be back on Wikipedia in a few days. Most likely, however, ((BASEPAGENAME)) will probably be making some small edits every once in a while anyway. | long | wikibreak | normal | short | semi | #default = '''((BASEPAGENAME))''' is taking a (( #switch: (({type))} | long = long | wikibreak | normal | short | semi-| #default = short )) '''[[Wikipedia:wikibreak|wikibreak]]''' and will be back on Wikipedia in a few days)) |}

Alternate text?[edit]

Could someone add alternate text for the images - maybe just something sickeningly cheesy like, for the beach, "Sun, sea and sand", or for the exams: "Revision, revision, revision". I'm not suggesting those though :D

Having an issue[edit]

The "Name" parameter doesn't appear to be working on the Wikibreak template when I try to transclude it onto my talk page. Could I get some help? -Jéské (v^_^v Mrrph-mph!) 05:53, 30 July 2008 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Image[edit]

Can we replace this image with some other image such as Crepuscular rays color.jpg, File:Tuamotu 9612a.jpg. The current image doesn't deserve to be. --Extra 999 (Contact me) 03:17, 22 January 2012 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I decided the picture I made, except improve the picture. Needs some bit of gradients and sand stuff. Also a bit of sea. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 00:36, 27 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

My template suggested template is above. (Take away the yellow box and make that white) Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 00:58, 27 October 2014 (UTC) See my sandbox, and that template is on the very bottom. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 06:53, 28 October 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
