I don't agree with the deletion of this template. "Tick" isn't semantic. I know that won't make sense to many of you. What if in the future the check mark is turning into something else like a thumbs-up or something. I realize it's unlikely, but in that event the word "tick" wouldn't make sense anymore, but the word "done" would still be relevant. If anyone has coded in XHTML or CSS you know the importance of semantics. The XHTML spec has <code>em</code> instead of <code>i</code> because some people want to "emphasize" their stuff with something other than "italics". Am I making any sense here? My point is that "done" is semantic while "tick" is not. &mdash; {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

This shouldn't be deleted

I don't agree with the deletion of this template. "Tick" isn't semantic. I know that won't make sense to many of you. What if in the future the check mark is turning into a thumbs-up or something? I realize it's unlikely, but in that event the word "tick" wouldn't make sense anymore, but the word "done" would still be relevant. If anyone has coded in XHTML or CSS you know the importance of semantics. The XHTML spec has em instead of i because some people want to "emphasize" their stuff with something other than "italics". Am I making any sense here? My point is that "done" is semantic while "tick" is not. — wikisig.gif Joey (talk·edits) 19:39, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it realy metter, but if you and everyone else want to keep this, then we should get rid of tick. The point is that there shouldn't be two things that are the practically the same. Elcool (talk)(contribs) 19:44, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
