The "Wikimedia design style guide advice on buttons" in See Also is a {{deadlink}} 26 January 2026 — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-57352-9 (talk) 22:46, 26 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

So it is. Thanks. Primefac (talk) 21:14, 1 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

I do not know whether there are plans for this template to support button design according to Codex: "Using links and buttons". Wikimedia Open Source. Retrieved October 16, 2025.

But if so, please note that something has gone wrong. Codex presents three button weights as equal: Primary, Normal and Quiet.

Please note that the Quiet weight design makes the button not look like a button. Please consider never implementing this. Designs that require users to hover above the element to understand their purpose and function fails basic interaction criteria. I'm hoping the quiet design in reality is special purpose and the weak link here is only the presentation/documentation.

This template uses hardcoded color values which are unreadable in dark mode MW:Recommendations_for_night_mode_compatibility_on_Wikimedia_wikis#Avoid_static_values_for_inline_background_and_text_colors. For example Question forum button on Wikipedia:Teahouse has bright background. Though honestly it feels bugged and looks ugly even in light mode. IamNikita (talk) 05:36, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I believe, based on a small amount of testing in the sandbox, that setting line 141 to var(--background-color-neutral, #CCC); will improve this situation. I have made this adjustment to the /sandbox module. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:06, 18 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
