Fix colours of form section headers (required/suggested/optional)
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

The template parameters are divided into three fieldsets, each with a legend to which we're giving a colour or a color.

Ed points out that "yellow on white probably doesn't meet our accessibility guidelines".

Currently, we've got:

  • required: #e04006 (reddish)
  • suggested: #f99d31
  • optional: #78ab46

I'll note that in general, information should never be communicated with only color. Color can be used in addition to other information, decoratively etc.

Also, color usage is cultural. "In Asian cultures red is a very important color — it symbolizes good luck, joy, prosperity, celebration, happiness, and a long life."

Sure, but not in when it comes to web browsing. Red implies a warning/importance on pretty much all modern sites.

These colors do not follow guidelines https://wikimedia.github.io/WikimediaUI-Style-Guide/visual-style_colors.html

The typography and alignments don't either

is there a place I can see this live? i need bit more context to provide changes. This would be a blocker from design!

Yes, see instructions here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech/Template_wizard#March_12,_2018

Niharika moved this task from Bug backlog to Archive on the Community-Tech board.

We did away with colors completely in the redesign.
