Colour scheme[edit]
I have changed the colour scheme to colours that I feel represent Goa:
- Cream and brown: Represent the sand and soil of Goa
- Blue: The sea and the sky
- Green: Our fields, forests, hills and open spaces

- I really think conventional colours are best,...although I appreciate your creativity. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 12:09, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Anna.. I had increased the size of the title because Goa is a small name, and to me, it wasn't really looking like a title. Secondly, it's a little difficult to make out that the word 'Goa' is a wikilink when it's that small. Do you mind if I make it big once more? For sure, increasing the size of the title is allowed!
- Regarding the colour scheme, let's see what other users have to say.. you must've noticed that I just rolled it out on important Goa pages today. The Discoverer (talk) 15:45, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
- Hello Discoverer. Well, it is the first time I've seen such a title enlarged. Is it really allowed? Where does it say so? I'd prefer to see what a few others say about that.
- Colour scheme: Also, let's see what others say. Sorry to be a pain over small potatoes, but we normally need a pretty good reason to break away from convention. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:34, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Anna,
- Title size: created a new section to discuss this. Please pardon and correct me if I break any talk pages etiquette while doing this; I'm not too well versed with those rules and I find them confusing.
- Colours: Don't worry.. I appreciate your feedback. Regards, The Discoverer (talk) 09:55, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

- I had seen these earlier: Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3, but I now realise it's usually done only for Navboxes with collapsible groups. I went through the MOS but theres nothing specific as to whether it's allowed or not. I think that 'there must be a good reason' applies to increasing the font size.

- I looked at the examples. Boy, I'd really like to change Template:University of Virginia, but a zillion students would fight with me. (Looks like all universities get their own navbox colours, but the odd font on Virginia is something others don't have).
- How about we compromise and keep the size small, but the zany colours how they are. I can't find guidelines of the size issue, but I suspect that consensus would go for keeping it the same as the others. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:25, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

colouring[edit]
I would like to discuss the colouring again. looking at the templates in Category:India state and territory templates, it seems very few of them use a scheme which deviates from the default. for consistency, I think we should just use the default colour scheme per Anna Frodesiak above. this is also in line with wp:deviations and Help:Link color. of course, I am willing to change my mind if there is a compelling reason to use something non-standard here, but I just don't see a good reason at the moment. thank you.
