While I don't object to converting the purple cells to blue I don't think a sixth category is necessary. The italics don't sufficiently distinguish the cells, and banned ratings are in a separate column anyway. Betty Logan (talk) 06:39, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Category:Articles with images not understandable by color blind users article clearly states that you can use italic or bold instead of color-adding. So I suggest... See:

Yes it does, but I don't think it is distinguishable enough and I don't think it is necessary. There is essentially no difference in implementation for films aimed at young audiences and those that are suitable for all and banned ratings are in a separate column. There are only actually four categories of rating: unrestricted, advisory, restrictive and prohibitive, so in reality we only actually need four colors. In the case of parental guidance ratings the fifth color is useful because even though they are advisory they are implemented slightly differently to age recommendations, but your suggestions are over-complicating a layout which is specifically designed to keep things simple. In the case of specific information pertaining to a particular rating the table utilises a hoverbox. I am fine with converting the purple highlighting to blue but your other changes are just change for the sake of change and bring no further benefit to the table. Betty Logan (talk) 09:26, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Let's remove yellow color. It can be confused with red color since both yellow and red are almost the same meaning: "Parental supervision recommended". And many rating systems are regulation for minors, so adults category is required.211.203.35.206 (talk) 10:42, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

They are not the same thing. Parental guidance is not restrictive which is a fundamental difference. Betty Logan (talk) 10:59, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

You said that there are only actually four categories of rating: unrestricted, advisory, restrictive and prohibitive, so in reality we only actually need four colors. But many rating systems are regulation for minors. Therefore adults category is required. See my suggestion:

•  White  – Unrestricted: Suitable for all ages / Aimed at young audiences / Exempt / Not rated.
•  Yellow  – Advisory: Not recommended for a younger audience but not restricted.
•  Red  – Restrictive: Instructs that people under the age must not see it without parental supervision.
•  Black  – Prohibitive: Instructs that people under the age must not see it.
•  Blue  – Prohibitive: Instructs that minors must not see it / Restricted to a specific audience / Banned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.203.35.206 (talk) 11:22, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

You are just wasting my time now. An adults category is a prohibitive category just like any other, and the only difference in the implementation is the age threshold i.e. A BBFC 18 has exactly the same restriction as the BBFC 15, just at a different age. You are suggesting change for the sake of it and none of your suggestions offer a tangible improvement, and will actually result in removing a useful distinction between the PG catgeory and other avisory ratings. As I stated above I am happy to change the purple highlighting to blue if there are no objections from other editors but I am withdrawing from this fruitless discussion. Betty Logan (talk) 12:32, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

I agree to 211.203.35.206's suggestion. What many rating systems are regulation for minors is true. So we should have an adult category. I'm color-blind but 211's suggestion is discriminable for me.110.70.58.217 (talk) 01:41, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Has seen? 110 also said that my suggestion is great. See:
