Semantic Box Names!

Can we move the templates to have semantic names. A {{Blue box}} is a note. It should be {{Note}}. Similarly, {{Red box}} -> {{Warning}}, {{Green box}} -> {{Tip}}, {{Brown box}} -> {{Example}}. {{Grey box}} as a blockquote shouldn't be a template at all if possible, but rather a styling of <blockquote>.

One downside to using non-semantic names is that if the colors were ever to change for an example, then the name wouldn't reflect the use. As it stands, the {{Brown box}} is more orange than brown. Either way, it notes an example, not something that should be surrounded by brown.

A bigger one is that new users don't expect to use {{Color box}}. They expect to use a Tip box. It should be so named.
