Template broken?

I think this template is broken. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 11:22, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

I see the blink, but I am in the Stone Age.

I think <BLINK> is deprecated in HTML, though you can get it done with animation in HTML5. Can this template be gotten to work in all generations of browser? Spıke 🎙️15:56 28-Nov-21

Might be fixed now. I dual-coded it as text-decoration: blink; for older browsers and CSS animations for newer ones. I figure old browsers will skip the more recent CSS definition, and new browsers will ignore the one deprecated for accessibility guidelines.

CSS animation duration can be fine-tuned, in case we decide it's too slow or too fast (would not work for Spike). The template is protected, so trolls can't give people seizures with rapidly-flashing text. Of course, nothing stops anybody from spamming pages with the template.

Just what the doctor ordered, thanks heaps! I don't mind not having "fine-tuning" in my pleasant traditional kitchen-table set-up. Use of blink is inherently non-encyclopedic — but I enjoy it on ":59" in the upper right corner of the UnNews Front Page, suggesting the clock is permanently broken. Spıke 🎙️11:12 30-Nov-21
