::: Do you know if those particular style changes were made on purpose, or if the site was just upgraded to a newer MediaWiki version and/or theme and those things happened to get worse as a by-product? Because in the latter case, we may be able to convince the admins to add some custom CSS rules to re-add a TOC background color and make the edit links float right. --[[User:Smls|Smls]] ([[User talk:Smls|talk]]) 10:21, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
:::: Michael Mol (as I understand it) upgraded Rosetta Code to a newer/updated MediaWiki (and most likely, other changes were made as well, but I don't know this for a fact), but a number of changes were implemented (or happened) all at once around December, 2015. The updating was, I assume, purposeful, but possibly some side affects were unknown or unforeseen. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 17:50, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
: In any case, using a dedicated template for these headings makes it easy to change things about them (without having to update all task pages each time). So that's another advantage. The <code>;bold:</code> syntax was never meant for section headings, nor is it specific to them - it is actually part of the wiki syntax for definition lists.

:: Can the '''See also''' be reverted back to '''Related tasks''' (where appropriate)? -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 06:40, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
::: Oh? I think both are fine when there's just links to other Rosetta Code tasks. But when there are also links to useful external resources (like Wikipedia), it makes sense to use "See also". I thought it's safer to always name it that way, so that if someone wants to add an external resource link to a task that previously didn't have one, they known where to put it - but I don't feel strongly about it. Feel free to change <code><nowiki>{{task heading|See also}}</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>{{task heading|Related tasks}}</nowiki></code> where you think it makes sense. --[[User:Smls|Smls]] ([[User talk:Smls|talk]]) 10:28, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
:::: I agree with you in that when using the ''';See also''' thingy, it refers to links to "other" references. However, I like ''';Related tasks''' to refer to links to Rosetta Code tasks that are related; it clearly indicates what those other links are ··· Rosetta Code tasks that are similar or related in some way --- and not reference links to help with the Rosetta Code task at hand. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 17:50, 23 August 2016 (UTC)
