Please make this purty. --Larry Sanger 19:24, 12 December 2006 (CST)

With the current Approved template on any given article, I'm barely able to read the entire first paragraph without having to scroll down on my 12" laptop screen. I suggest a smaller format, something like this:
 |
Or:
|
Or even:
|
The above template could be placed in the top-left corner of the screen, sitting just above the underline beneath the article's Header (ie, inline with the title of the article). It can be kept very simple: all that needs to be said is that the article has been approved: that's the central point that's being made. The "What does this mean?" think could then point to one of two places:
- The template page itself, as in the above example. <noinclude> and similar tags allow us to alter the template so that it appears as above when placed on an article, but when viewed directly provide a thorough explanation of Approval.
- A section at the bottom of the page, providing the same information. This possibility has the additional advantage that providing a link to the article's draft page would be trivial.
What do people think of this? My iBook would certainly appreciate the change. -- David Still 00:02, 23 March 2007 (CDT)
