Merge

I'm a little confused. Is this template to get rid of colorboxes altogether, or was this aimed at the graphic on the article talk page I proposed it on? I think the colorbox is a good idea. But in any case, this was only a proposal, not an actual file that I used the colorbox in. I completely disagree that it offers no functionality. It is much clearer in many cases. There is no reason to get rid of such an option. If it doesn't work for a particular case, then don't use it. But if it makes a graphic look clearer in other cases, why get rid of the option?

@Njsustain: The proposal is to merge {{Color box}} and {{Colorbox}}, so that one template does the job currently done by two. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:30, 27 July 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. This is the first time I've ever edited a legend, let alone using Colorbox, so I was really puzzled why those tags were showing up. Sorry about that. Njsustain (talk) 21:29, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
