This is really in need of a .18+ update.

Suggested change to Outdated tag

This will help readers to understand the problems with the document until the page is properly updated

Although I agree with the general notion of this suggestion, I would say this is overkill. Especially the last three boxes say the same. Something like this:

It also adds a note to your page, in case somebody want to help improve it (all edits going on this page are basically “lost”, unless somebody manually merge/add them to your version). — xZise [talk] 14:30, 6 September 2013 (CDT)

I can understand that, and it's why I posted here instead of editing the thread directly, I'm pretty new to this wiki stuff but this page has irritated me to no end.

This might not be the best place to discuss it but Outdated really irritates me, by having comment: at the end of the line it creates this big pile of text falling over what Outdated adds to the box, or if it's a small comment, it just disappears at the end following a big stretch of what readers consider ignorable fluff. If comment was on it's own line, maybe with a line break, the whole thing would be better

I think bullet lists look good for multiple items; I imagine most pages won't have multiple items but the bullet makes a good replacement for <newline>Comment:

Multiple boxes definitely wasn't needed and I agree with the condensed text, but my revision is very early and scattered, featuring it prominently at this point could be damaging to people who don't already know these topics, maybe a link at the bottom of the page instead?

I have to look which pages use {{Outdated}} but I guess you are right that it is not very helpful having the comment at the end of the text. But it is already possible to have a bullet list, of course then with a preceding “Comment:”.

About linking to your version: This is mostly to warn others that they shouldn't edit/update this page but instead either help with your page or wait until you think you version is fine. I tried to make it clear in the last sentence in the box. — xZise [talk] 04:42, 7 September 2013 (CDT)
