Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. states/state templates lists and displays all 50 U.S. state (and additional other) templates. It potentially can be used for ideas and standardization. //MrD907:23, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2006-03-19T07:23:00.000Z","author":"MrD9","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-MrD9-2006-03-19T07:23:00.000Z-U.S._state_templates","replies":[]}}-->

There is currently an ongoing discussion regarding standardization of state templates (primarily regarding layout and styling) at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. states/state templates. An effort was made earlier this year to standardize Canadian province templates (which mostly succeeded). Lovelac7 and I have already begun standardizing all state templates. If you have any concerns, they should be directed toward the discussion page for state template standardization.

I just converted this box, and all other state boxes to a standard template. No information was lost in the transfer, and in fact a few problems were fixed (the old version used bullets, pipes, and spaces as delimiters, the new version sticks with just one choice: pipes). --CapitalR04:37, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-03-05T04:37:00.000Z","author":"CapitalR","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-CapitalR-2007-03-05T04:37:00.000Z-Webdinger-2006-08-27T23:08:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->
Is there a particular reason why this template is aqua? Wouldn't it be better to just go with the default used by {{navbox}} to avoid having a rainbow at the bottom of the page when this navbox is next to another one and per WP:ACCESSIBILITY? Please let me know if there is a strong reason to have it a particular color. I noticed this was attempted recently, but was reverted, so I thought I would be proactive and start a thread here to avoid an edit war. Thanks!

Okay, since there are no objections, I will change the color to the default. Thanks!
