Change "Supertyphoon" (Line 215) to "Super typhoon" [[User:Wolf20482|<span style="background-color:purple; color:white;">'''wolf20482 🐺'''</span>]] ([[User talk:Wolf20482|talk]]) 13:38, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
Given the concerns regarding the changed colors and their relation to the ongoing ArbCom case against WPTC regarding stealth canvassing (which the process was heavily tainted by) – brought up [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/WikiProject Tropical Cyclones/Workshop#General discussion|here]], [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather#Potential off-wiki canvassing|here]] and [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Weather#Restoring old colors for now until the end of ArbCom|here]] (the last one brought up by me specifically to get more input from members) – I propose that until the ArbCom case is finalized on May 4 (under a month from now) the legacy colors be temporarily restored until a decision on what to do regarding the RfC’s outcomes is made. The reasoning behind this is mostly to fix the discrepancy between the infoboxes/timelines and the track maps themselves, given that the project was in the middle of re-discussing a new scheme after the previous consensus and had not updated the maps. Even now, currently active systems are still using the old color scale for the track maps so I think it is better that at least for the next month we follow that so as to not give confusion to new readers. This is a genuine concern and not a case of [[WP:IDLI]] as I am considering the ramifications the currently convoluted situation has right now on our new readers.

::{{Not done}}. We are not doing this. The proper process for an RfC is consensus first, then implementation of said consensus. In the meantime, the status quo should be upheld. It is far, far more disruptive to revert back and forth than it is to keep the current changes in place.

Could someone please revert the color changes I made on March 18, 2022, at [[Module:Storm categories/categories]] per [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Weather#RfC:_Full-scale_reversion]]? All colors should be reverted to their pre-March 18 values per the SNOW support at that discussion. Please be careful to not remove any other additions to this module since then.

Please change the name for "unknown" to "Unknown-strength storm" from "Unknown strength {{sic}} tropical cyclone". This module now includes much more than tropical cyclones, and the fallback should reflect the switch to a more general term.

::{{re|MSGJ}} [[Module:Storm categories/categories]] is the correct ___location for where changes should be made. I am adding them to the appropriate sandbox as we speak. Should be done in about 10 minutes.

::{{re|MSGJ}} Actually, it appears wxtrackercody was mistaken on some of the values given what was listed in the table (looks isolated to southern hemisphere TCs and north indian ocean TCs at the upper levels in their scales) so I need to go back and correct those. Sorry about that. [[User:Hurricane Noah|<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200"><b>Noah</b></span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Hurricane Noah|<span style="color:#ff0000"><b>Talk</b></span>]]</sup> 23:03, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
:::{{re|MSGJ}} All values should be corrected now. Again, sorry. I would have caught this had I been able to see a preview of the main module where it displays all the values, but alas that wasn't possible. [[User:Hurricane Noah|<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200"><b>Noah</b></span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Hurricane Noah|<span style="color:#ff0000"><b>Talk</b></span>]]</sup> 23:13, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
:::Also appears another issue is located at [[Module:Storm categories/colors]]. The value 80ccff needs changed to 0084D6 (there's only one occurrence here) in order to stop it from overriding the input at the other module page. [[User:Hurricane Noah|<span style="white-space:nowrap;text-shadow:#009200 0.3em 0.4em 1.0em,#009200 -0.2em -0.2em 1.0em;color:#009200"><b>Noah</b></span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Hurricane Noah|<span style="color:#ff0000"><b>Talk</b></span>]]</sup> 00:09, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
::::{{ping|Hurricane Noah|wxtrackercody}} Another issue is that text does not show up well with the C5 color as background. For example, try reading "F5" on individual tornadoes' info-boxes. [[User:CapeVerdeWave|CapeVerdeWave]] ([[User talk:CapeVerdeWave|talk]]) 00:27, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|CapeVerdeWave}} black text on the Cat 5 color background has a contrast ratio of 5.81:1, well above the threshold of 4.5:1 for WCAG 2.0 level AA as required by WP:ACCESS. [[User:Wxtrackercody|wxtrackercody]] <small>([[User talk:Wxtrackercody|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Wxtrackercody|contributions]])</small> 00:33, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
::::{{re|CapeVerdeWave|wxtrackercody}} Yes I notice that now. It must be an issue related to how WP displays it since it is AA compliant. We likely just need to use a slightly lighter value for templates while keeping the original for the maps since there isn't text there. {{colorbox|#a188fc}} would likely be favorable for black text on wiki while not being drastically different from the map color. I went ahead and added it to the sandbox since it's not a significant change from the original color we approved and we need to make sure everything can be read easily.

In case it's necessary, the agency responsible for warning on tropical cyclones in the South-West Indian Ocean has begun using a new category for subtropical cyclones with maximum sustained wind speeds at or above 35 kt. This should be reflected here for use in an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024-25_South-West_Indian_Ocean_cyclone_season), which includes a storm that has been recently designated with this category.
