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.
