Template talk:Eff note

I don't like the premise of this template. It seems to me that there are various reasons besides "efficiency" (e.g. readability, idiom, extensibility, ...) that one might have a "but you should do it this way instead" note. I also think that "pretentious-sounding" is the example author's problem. I am concerned that trying to fit things into this bin (or not) will create visual noise (from the messagebox look; this is not a "needs fixing" kind of thing like the other messageboxes) and semantic noise (in that it's a strong formalized statement when a simple short sentence or even clause would do better). --Kevin Reid 21:20, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
