Is the quote taken from the discourse forum? What were the reasons for removing it?
Yes itās from discourse. Here is the link, sorry but I think the āgo to the quoted postā arrow worked before with quotes from different forums.
The only reason mentioned is the above quoted āit was too obviousā, which I canāt agree less with.
Only 13 voters so far, but I think a slight tendency towards green wikis is already detectable. 
@Douwe do you think this could be implemented easily?

After some talk, we decided to remove that color altogether and just leave the āwikiā class so that you can easily customise wiki posts.
So how about now?
Are we all used to and happy with unflashy wikis or do we still want green wikis back?
Shall we make wikis green again?

Whatās the problem with green wikis that you even repeat the poll, in hope the result would change?
I personally find it very useful to have wikis in a different color than usual threads, because a wiki should be treated differently by the community, in regards to the quality of the posts. While usual threads are mostly opinion-based discussions, a wiki should (in my opinion) be primarily fact-based and contain concrete and useful information instead of discussions.

No I donāt hope the results change. Iām very much pro green wikis.
I just wanted to get more current data before I tag @Douwe again asking when this is going to happen.
@Douwe you asked:
As an answer I quoted a discourse mod:
And then they linked this github code:
I donāt understand it, but I guess someone familiar to the forum software should know what to do with this?

Since we happened to talk about this at the latest #austrianfairphoners meeting and I just happened to come across the following topic on meta.discourse I thought Iāll bring this up again.
I think the green in the screenshot in that topic is a bit ugly and we should use something a little more subtle.
@anon83519835, you can probably do this with the blink of an eye, right.

@Douwe Does it need to fit with the ācorporateā colour scheme? If so, what are the options? (Donāt want to piss off the web design guysā¦)

How about

Or maybe it needs to be a bit lighter and more transparent as background colour?
I liked the way it was in ancient times. Does anybody have a screenshot?
It was like this but green, not blue.
PS.: I think the user title should not be coloured.
it will notā¦it only does the bodyā¦I tested it on our testforumā¦
Well, then how about posting maybe 3 to 5 example-postings with different green backgrounds and making a poll what colour users like best.
To gain broader attention, this poll could be posted as a banner; thatās because wikis concern all users of the forum and not just the āregularsā.
In my opinion the question if they should stand out from the rest should be of interest especially for the random user experiencing a specific problem.
