Template talk:WikiStatusValue: Difference between revisions

People seem to have this conception that higher and higher values while at Red means higher and higher traffic and/or out-of-dateness. This is not supposed to be the case. Red by itself means "high traffic and/or high out-of-dateness". The value only exists to capture a community sentiment to whether the status should be moved down to Yellow - there's no status above Red to raise to, so having any number at all above 0 has no practical purpose except making it more difficult to move back to lower levels. Having these high Red statuses like +100 is basically overhyping and overblowing things, and desensitizing people to what the system is supposed to convey.

:I disagree. I think a higher red should mean that we're even more out of date than red already implies. As of right now we really aren't out of date (except on Project M) so it's kinda unreasonable that people were still trying to raise it. But previously we've been extremely out of date, and as long as its high people know that they need to get to work on editing. Even with the red, 20% implies that we're actually close to being okay, which we really aren't. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]].
