== Redesign needs testing ==
I have spent most of this evening refining a complete redesign of the template's code flow, to reduce duplication of processor-intensive code snippets and make the design more streamlined and hence more robust. It should also make it possible/easier to complete some of the tasks on the todo list and requests outstanding on this page, most notably a more refined implementation of the extended quality scale. The changes are very substantial and involve modifications to every code subpage; consequently, I'm anxious to test the new design thoroughly before deploying it on all 600,000-some pages where the live banner appears. I would very much appreciate the assistance of anyone floating around this page who has some spare time (<

:::::It can be expected that more and more projects will convert their banners, so although there might not be many now it may well increase.

Incidentally I think both the µ characters in both our examples are the same <
Upon looking into it, I suspect that the problems here come from the fact that Unicode incorporates two characters here that look absolutley identical: the "lowercase letter mu" '''μ''' and the "micro prefix" '''µ'''. WPBM uses the mu character which is a start, but it seems to me that <s>we</s> I have dug us into a bit of a hole here by using a character that's open to such easy confusion. I'm inclined to pull the plug on the whole thing and change everything to use an obscure letter that actually appears on the keyboard somewhere to also make it easier to use. Any suggestions for characters to use? I'm leaning towards the "tilde" '''~''' or the mysterious "not sign" '''¬''', which also has the advantage of making some semantic sense. Thoughts?
