They are maintenance templates, they're not really supposed to "catch the eye". I actually really hated both the message wall message (because it was just irritating and unnecessarily distracting) and the stub templates. In my personal opinion, a really colourful message will not be read and is more liikely to be ignored, especially as the colours horribly contrasted with the rest of the wiki and stood out too much.

Have you contacted the other members to see what they think? If they feel the colourful messages are necessary and useful, then we can revert the templates/messages back to what they were, but I suspect they may be of the same mind.

Also, the introduction message posted to a wall is hardly ever read. There are wiki's who use coloured names and they don't enhance the wiki at all and just confuse people. These days, you'll find people are quite lazy and don't want to read blocks of text ;)
