This template is purposefully not named "band-blue" (or deprecated by it). It is meant to be an unobtrusive yet noticeable band whose exact design parameters may change if the wiki design changes.
(Yes, it really works. It isn't broken. It'll display fine when you actually input the template parameters.)
