The header image was deleted by one editor and restored by another. As the creator of the present version of it (the previous version was illegible) I'd just like to register my opinion that the box needs a header image (without it it does not stand out to the reader or draw their eye) but that the present version can certainly be improved on. I disagree with the idea that it is in any way controversial since it is simply the EU flag with the word "Brexit" on it.

• The header image for me feels well a bit dumb and redundant. Perhaps something a bit more relevant? Such as an iconic photo of Brexit or a montage of various photos of Brexit related matters?

• An anon editor deleted the sidebar image again. I have to say I agree, it looks terrible on mobile. If anyone thinks an image is really needed, would they at least find one that is legible on a small screen? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 09:13, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-09-07T09:13:00.000Z","author":"John Maynard Friedman","type":"comment","level":2,"id":"c-John_Maynard_Friedman-2019-09-07T09:13:00.000Z-FOARP-2019-09-05T08:58:00.000Z","replies":[]}}-->

I propose to restructure this template and the Template:United Kingdom in the European Union, so that this template becomes the main Brexit sidebar, and the other one will be more focused on the historic UK-EU relationship. All editors here might be interested in the discussion. ― Hebsen_{(previously Heb the best)} (talk) 21:36, 3 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2019-10-03T21:36:00.000Z","author":"Hebsen","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Hebsen-2019-10-03T21:36:00.000Z-Proposed_restructuring_of_this_and_Template:United_Kingdom_in_the_European_Union","replies":[]}}-->
