I have removed the custom colors from this template, as they serve no encyclopedic purpose. See also {{Nazism}} and {{Neo-Nazism}}, where similar color schemes have been removed. -- The Anome (talk) 10:16, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Add an image of the hammer and sickle 151.188.25.146 (talk) 14:13, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. I don't see a need for a single symbol of communism to be included. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:22, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

I removed some of the related topic links, merely by investigating whether the template appears as a sidebar or at the footer section of the article. As a disclaimer, I regard templates transcluding links as nearly always OR, often misleading, pedagogical, or distracting, proposing a "series" of articles by this template's content deepens the potential to veer from NPOV. The exceptional example is a taxobox, which is not an arrangement contrived here but a verifiable representation of sourced content. ~ cygnis insignis 07:53, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

firstly, there needs to be some form of logo, secondly, the topics need redoing. the division between ideas and aspects seems arbitrary, and the organisation tab is largely redundant. we also need an economics section. Thatjakelad (talk) 18:41, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

There doesn't need to be a 'logo' (symbols, actually) in navboxes, in fact, they are very discouraged (see WP:NAVIMAGES). These take away attention from the actual contents of the navbox. And we're dealing with a broad and serious topic here; unnecessary decoration looks unprofessional. –Vipz (talk) 22:58, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

 Done, but in a new section called "Criticism" alongside Anti-communism, Criticism of communist party rule, and Criticism of Marxism. –Vipz (talk) 19:14, 3 December 2023 (UTC)reply
