If we're not going to get this back, might I heartily recommend locking BRIAN BLESSED and Portal to prevent future edits from breaking their markups?
Edit: What the heck is "demsnstrating"?

But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.Boss Subtitles. It was used to good effect in Boss Subtitles. Not strictly necessary, but effective.
Shouldn't be as simple as let the syntax live in wiki, not in forums? In wiki has good practical usage, and the wiki is to be a more controlled zone anyway.
Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?Yeah, go back up to the top of this thread, and you'll see that Fast Eddie removed it from the wiki specifically. Its loss on the forums is apparently a side-effect.

Small text is part of the Laconic template, specifically the "main article is here" part. Every single Laconic Wiki page uses it, or is supposed to.
she her hers hOI!!! i'm tempesigh Yeah, yeah. The workaround and all that.
But soft! What rock through yonder window breaks? It is a brick! And Juliet is out cold.Fast Eddie: in Myspace, they had background colors, Flash, blinks, snowy effects, fairly permissive standards and crappy music for people to do whatever shit they wanted to do with them no matter if it had sense or not. Here what we have is... well, text with a couple of well-defined tags, images and links. Where the good things are used where they bring good effect (for example looking at NO INDOOR VOICE).
I could understand taking such format out of the forums, but out of the wiki it's like taking tables out of a wiki article.
It's a weird impression I get fro this change but I hope you're not trying to compare yourself (nor your work) down to... well... "those" things.
Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?Since the problem seems to be (mostly) around emboldened and bigger fonts, can we have back the shrunken and smaller fonts until the situation reaches an agreement? I have used both of them, but I understand if the situation is trolling vs. sustainability that you would want to eliminate the bigger ones.

Pokedy Poke-poke↑↑A very good start.
I think it would be useful the proposal I saw a couple of posts/threads before, with a single [[small:...]] or [[large:...]] markup. Hardly any pages need more than that, and for those explicit markup to which the admins have access can suffice. Because they surely have some auth-based markup, right?
Fanfic Recs orwellianretcon'd: cutlocked for committee or for Google?What about on pages in the wiki? Can't it be put back there at least?
As for the fora, they are supposed to be enjoyable. If people enjoy using enlarged fonts every so often, then why is there a problem? I haven't seen this being abused, and if it were, banning/warning the abuser would be easily enforceable; these fora aren't all that big.
Could you please stop taking stuff away? If it gets out of hand, then you can remove it.
Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! ~ GODI've locked the SelfDemonstrating.Brian Blessed page to preserve the mark-up there.
Brian Blessed isn't the only page that has reason for it. I mean C'mon.
I remember back when we had all the cool stuff. And Tnophelia.
Why Can't We Have Nice Things?!

Which I've already forgotten. I dunno why I said that, I know exactly who you're talking about arrghharble. Derail aborted.
Thanks for bringing back small text, FE, and thanks for locking SelfDemonstrating.Brian BLESSED, Madru.

Because you can't go up twice. Once for bold, and once for caps. Gradual growth is the joke.
Fight smart, not fair.
