<p>I made the button in Example 2 green, but maybe you want the whole button to be a clickable?

<p>Just <span style="background:green; color:white; padding:0 2px 0 2px;">regular green</span> or a specific green?

The idea behind Flags was a good one. Perhaps it should have used reserved subpages or something like that. It serves as a further lesson that being careful with initial design and not just rapid development plus iteration needs to be considered.

<p>Until we know how the user is planning to use #switch with images, we can't know for sure that the gallery implementation is what they want.

I guess it is a consequence of the fact that the Flags didn't really make any changes to the page. They merely updated the information about the page in a separate place, and used javascript to display it as needed and/or updated the relevant external links.

<p>Sounds like Flags wasn't great from the design standpoint if removing it effectively equals loss of data. </p>

<p>I never got to use it much, but it had promise. I liked it better than template types.

<p>I would go with Infoicon type and try to make the text as compact as possible.
</p><p>And complain about how template types are rendered on the mobile skin at Special:Contact/feedback. I don't know why there is no mention of what specifically renders and what doesn't at Help:Template Types.
