Six cases

[edit]

At the moment, "correct" denotes the correct answer regardless of whether the contestant actually picked it. This is ambiguous in the absence of further context: did the contestant answer correctly, or take the money without answering? I feel we should distinguish the cases.

Moreover, often when the contestant opts to take the money, we find out what answer he/she would have picked if he/she had had nothing to lose and therefore played on. Should we indicate these would-be answers?

To summarise, at the moment we have:

Correct Incorrect
Picked correct chosen
Would have picked correct (default)
Didn't pick correct (default)

We distinguish between only three cases. Should we distinguish all six of them? If so, what would be a good colour scheme to use? — Smjg (talk) 16:40, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Smjg: This template needs fixing, as severe readability problem occur when wikilinks are used. this is fine but this clearly isn't. Lighter colours are probably the way forward.--Nilfanion (talk) 11:05, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Background color

[edit]

Is it okay to have an option to change the black background into blue to reflect the color scheme used by various franchises? HiwilmsTalk 06:14, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, it should be blue. The black colour is very distracting visually when the template is used in the article. It was originally blue, why was it changed? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 11:18, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Hiwilms: Just looked at the history and it turns out it was done by an IP without consultation so I have turned it back to blue. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 11:21, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
