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 here, here and 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. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 19:19, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Please add the icon for the "vstyphoon" category (around line 196):
name = "Very strong typhoon",
sortkey = 60020, -- modified line (added comma)
icon = "[[File:Very strong typhoon icon.png|18px]]" -- added line
},
and the icon for the "vityphoon" category (around line 201):
color = "C464D9",
name = "Violent typhoon",
sortkey = 60030, -- modified line (added comma)
icon = "[[File:Violent typhoon icon.png|18px]]" -- added line
},

- Chlod, could you please clarify: after the proposed changes are applied, will the overrides from Special:Diff/1069592996/1107665379 need to be removed? —andrybak (talk) 07:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Andrybak: Well, they should be removed since an override would no longer be needed. It won't immediately break if there is a conflict. Chlod (say hi!) 07:31, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Done —andrybak (talk) 13:52, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

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.

- Done I think I found the right changes to make, but it is always a lot easier if you make the proposed changes in a sandbox and show it working on a testcases page. Please ping me if I made any unwanted changes. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:48, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, @Jonesey95! You accidentally reverted a few additions made earlier this year. Special:PermanentLink/1115566090 on the sandbox page has the corrected module code. Previews are on Module:Storm categories/demo/sandbox. Please make the edit when you find the time. Thanks!
Chlod (say hi!) 03:23, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
- Done. I think I've got it this time. If not, you know how to find me. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:38, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

PTS colors
Just to raise awareness in a fourth ___location, I will link the discussion regarding the pink Pacific typhoon season color scale here, as well. – atomic𓅊7732 12:57, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Please place the following line to alias the formerly-documented vstrtyphoon code (from Special:Diff/618384846, later commented out) to vstyphoon, preferably above line 571.
cats["vstrtyphoon"] = cats["vstyphoon"]

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.
