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. —

- 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)
- Maybe we could come up with a better name than "done". I can think of several instances where I would want to "tick" things off (no pun intended), like in a list, but those things aren't necessarily "done". — It's dot com 20:01, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

- I think the problem with naming it for its use, rather than what it is, is that it has several uses. If we have to have just one, how about {{check}}? It describes the mark, and also conveys a sense of accomplishment. — It's dot com 20:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
