It is white text on black background and it breaks text flow, like many other templates that are intended to be inserted in text.
I would like to propose use of templates inserted in text very sparingly. Pages broken with templates that contain images, bold and large text, colored background, plethora of lines, where user has to hunt next appearance of meaningful text are all but nice to read, and we have a lot pages in demand that suffer from this.
Our problem with the current wiki is not only "hard to find" articles, but articles that with all information in article is hard to read.
See this http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories and this http://en.opensuse.org/Talk:KDE/Repositories (note that this is older version of main article) or this http://en.opensuse.org/GNOME/Repositories
Which is easier to read and find information that user needs? One with 20 templates breaking text flow, or one without.
I'm not entirely sure what to answer here. On the one side I clearly see the reason you come up with the proposal to "use those templates very sparingly", on the other hand, I read all examples several times and for me personally the templates weren't that "text flow breaking". I guess it's a matter of personal taste in the end. That said, feel free to go forward with this if nobody else complains about the change. Fine by me!
Same as Rupert. I also do believe that the "version boxes" help the reader to figure out the correct information faster. Interestingly, the Gnome repo page is the shortest of the 3 examples you mentioned, but the hardest to read imho. This page needs indeed "some love". But I agree with the fact that shell template could be improved (ie, it is actually shorter than other templates for no apparent reason).
