:::::I like the smaller version you posted here, but I don't object to the current version. [[User:Alsee|Alsee]] ([[User talk:Alsee|talk]]) 20:27, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

::::::{{yo|Alsee}} I'll admit that I personally think the version shown above is more pleasing to eye than the current rendition with columns. However, my primary concern is the template's legibility and the ease with which one can find an accurate template message, which, I think, is best attained through columns instead of the sardines-in-can effect. Recognizing that this may be entirely subjective, of course, I won't oppose if you decide to apply the aforementioned horizontal styling. [[User:Jay D. Easy|Jay D. Easy]] ([[User talk:Jay D.

* [[:Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace/Multi-level templates]] → {{no redirect|Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace/Multi-level warnings}}

* [[:Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace/Single-level templates]] → {{no redirect|Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace/Single-level warnings}}

– These pages only contain warnings, not general templates; the terms "multi-level" and "single-level" don't even seem relevant outside the context of warnings. Warnings aren't the only type of user talk namespace template messages.

*'''Strongest possible meh''' I don't see anything real that would be accomplished by this change... [[User:Beeblebrox|Beeblebrox]] ([[User talk:Beeblebrox|talk]]) 22:07, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

*:{{re|Beeblebrox}} I would like to restructure the headings in the [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace]], and I'm listing this as a first step to understand how this community considered warnings and user talk namespace template messages to be related. It wouldn't make sense to change the headings to be inconsistent with the subpages; thus I'm listing the subpages first to gauge if there are any objections. [[User:E to the Pi times i|<span style="color:red">e^π''i''</span>]] ([[User talk:E to the Pi times i|<span style="color:green">talk</span>]] &#124; [[Special:Contribs/E to the Pi times i|<span style="color:blue">contribs</span>]]) 01:36, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

*"These pages only contain warnings". But that isn't true and the single issue page even contains separate headers for "warnings" and "notices". Unless you consider every notice to be a warning, and I don't think that a very good idea. You say, "Warnings aren't the only type of user talk namespace template messages", so I don't see how this proposal is even self-consistent. What happens to the notices which aren't warnings? -- [[user:zzuuzz|zzuuzz]] ^{[[user_talk:zzuuzz|(talk)]]} 11:08, 19 May 2019 (UTC)

*:{{re|zzuuzz}} You have accurately indentified that I failed to notice [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace/Single-level templates|Single-level templates]] has two separate sections [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace/Single-level templates#Single issue warnings|Single issue warnings]] and [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace/Single-level templates#Single issue notices|Single issue notices]], and my original move rationale held the premise that these pages only contained warnings.

*:I will however note that it appears the multi-level page contains levels of warnings, though it could probably be argued that the lower-level warnings are more like notices. Additionally, every page on the single-level page is prefixed with {{code|uw-}}, even those that are purpotedly "notices", though your point is taken.

*:I have some further thoughts about reorganizing, but I will withdraw this request for now, and contemplate the exact details further. I am unsatisfied with the current status quo of these pages, but it seems this suggestion is not quite the correct way forward.
