Add USAGE section
I suggest include in the template:

That would show:

Only require date for <100%
If something is 100% complete, the date (although nice) should possibly be optional. How about changing the template from



to

{{#ifeq:|100%|| }]

An additional nicety would be

{{#ifeq:{{{2|}}}|100%|| }]

Colours
currently the square's quarter border colours go from light gray (0%), dark red (25%), dark violet (50%), bright red (75%), to bright green (100%).

1. Shades of colours (i.e. one hue only, e.g. light to dark gray) might be considered more intuitive.

2. Instead of showing empty quarters one could work with filling the quarters to indicate the stage (all full being 100% for a 'positive' or neutral colour -- or all empty when using a 'negative' or neutral colour such as red or gray)

3. Generally, any links (incl. links to wiki pages) I expect to contain complete content -- so, 100% should be the "normal" stage (basically not requiring an stage image or maybe only a very subtle one -- like the light gray one :)

just my thoughts whilst understanding those images -- sorry if i probably missed some discussions ---22:01, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

The 00% image...
The usage instructions message of the template currently says:


 * should be 0% (00%.svg), 25% (25%.svg), 50% (50%.svg), 75% (75%.svg), or 100% (100%.svg)

But if you type literally 0% in the first field the image won't be shown - you need to type 00%. That documentation bug definitely should be fixed. --Duplode (talk) 14:45, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
