WoS linksCan I suggest that you do not replace company links to WoS with the {{WoS game}} template: that uses infoseek.cgi, rather than infoseekpub.cgi, which is what is wanted for publishers? Also, your opinions on using the internal WoS ids are suggested on the templates talk page would be much appreciated. Cheers --Pak21 15:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Formatting issuesWhat formatting issues were caused by the ticks used to italicsize the game titles in the WoS game template? Thanks for the great job of re-linking the titles BTW! :-) --Frodet 21:15, 31 December 2006 (UTC) Category:Computer and video games based on licensed propertiesPlease don't add any items to Category:Computer and video games based on licensed properties that are already sorted into their respective series subcategories.

Andy Mabbett 22:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC) a question? Does anyone know what it is like getting the northern line in the mornings between 8am-9am? The reason i ask this is because at the moment if i catch the northern line at kings cross to london bridge, i invariably have to wait for a tube to pass before i get on due to the number of people in front of me. Is there a similar case at the elephant and castle tube stop heading towards london bridge, weekdays between 8am and 9am? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.20.233.128 (talk) 13:48, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
Free entry fieldsI'm not sure. I haven't heard much support for adding distances to Edinburgh & London. That said, I have no specific objection to them. Maybe statistic_title / statistic would be better fields. It would give more guidance as to what kind of things should be added. It could go just after population. Now I think about it, I like this idea. MRSC • Talk 23:52, 15 March 2007 (UTC) GraysAre you sure the population is correct? I make it about 18,000 (though from adding 2 wards which do make up part of the town). Simply south 12:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Reverted navbox conversion on {{PHX_TV}}Hi, I reverted your Navbox conversion as {{Navbox}} doesn't seem to handle the line breaks correctly. I wasn't able to figure out how to get it to break right, so I've gone back to the previous version until it can be fixed. dhett (talk • contribs) 06:57, 7 October 2007 (UTC) Musician navboxesHi there. I see you have recently created Template:Navbox music and are now converting articles for musical artists to use that template. Note that WP:MUSICIAN#Navboxes specifically recommends using Template:Navbox musical artist. --PEJL 11:22, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
List of Japanese N64 gamesI noticed your one of the people that wished there to be a list of Japanese games online for Wikipedia which I tried to make for the Nintendo 64 a few months ago, but just like when they where added to the orginal List of Nintendo 64 games they are trying to delete the new page List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games here's a link Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games to the discussion, how about giving your view. (Floppydog66 16:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)) Template:Jimmy BuffettIs there any way to orient the top two sections of Template:Jimmy Buffett upward in the Navbox music template like they were before (like a "|above=" line would)? Your conversion to Navbox music has left a lot of unused column space in an already large template (the reason I didn't use it to begin with). Thanks. — AjaxSmack 03:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
A Reason?Hey WOSlinker! I made a Template:Sunset Beach (TV series), but you've changed it to a nav box? Why? I think it looks better smaller, not stretched? Can you explain why did you make the change? Dmarex 19:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

New location mapHi. I've seen you've added these to quite a number of files. May I suggest you tweak the formatting slightly? As an example, see Hay Inclined Plane. Here I have added a <BR> before the {{gbmapping}}, to force the gridref onto its own line. I think this looks neater. It will automatically cope with users having a larger-than-default thumbnail setting. Cheers. EdJogg (talk) 11:35, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
Template:CornwallHello there, I would be interested to know your views on recent revisions at Template:Cornwall. A discussion has started on the talk page. Thanks, --Jza84 | Talk 11:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC) Hi. I don't believe that Template:Todo3 qualifies for speedy deletion because it does provide some functionality that {{todo}} does not (namely that it can be customized to fit an alternate color/sizing scheme). But regardless of that, the template is in use. Should you ever have a need to nominate an in-use template for speedy deletion, please use <noinclude> tags around it so that every page that transcludes the template doesn't get added to CAT:CSD. Thanks. --B (talk) 12:58, 5 May 2008 (UTC) conversion of college football venues templatesHi, WOSlinker. Could you start checking nested navboxes conference column width in the expanded states when you do the conversion? When viewed in Internet Explorer (this does not occur in Firefox), if one of the columns is wider then 10em then the columns in the other nested navboxes (the other divisions) do not adjust and the column widths don't match and need to be told the same width. "11em" fixed Kansas and Alabama, but Louisiana required 12em. Thanks and let me know if this does not make sense. --Gwguffey (talk) 16:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Good work Thank you very much! Sportin 19:09, 24 May 2008 Thank youThank you for fixing links from my article's (well, technically wikipedia's) Osamu Takizawa and Eiji Funakoshi. Have you fixed Mickey Curtis? That is another article I made. This whole thing isn't major, but I am fairly new here (December, 07 or January, 08), so I didn't know how to do that.

I'm template-dumb and am prone to doing things wrong when I touch them, but like to learn what I did so I don't do it again. Thanks! TCari My travels 13:56, 13 July 2008 (UTC) It looks like when that template was added to that page, it was substituted using {{SUBST:WikiProject Museums}} rather than just adding {{WikiProject Museums}}. When it is SUBSTituted, the whole contents of the template are copied onto the page rather than just transposed, so if the template is then changed, the changes would not be shown on the page it was added to. Using SUBST also adds any noinclude sections of the template which is how I noticed this one as the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Museums was included in the Category:WikiProject banners category when it shouldn't have been. -- WOSlinker (talk) 15:19, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
{{MEA-expand}} revertHi, Can I ask why you reverted your recent change to this banner? Seems okay to me... Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 23:03, 13 July 2008 (UTC) Hi, If you check the What Links Here option for that page, you will see that most of the transclusions are on article pages rather than article talk pages. When {{WPBannerMeta}} is used, it also shows a warning banner on the pages before the talk banner. I think all those banners need moving onto the talk pages first before WPBannerMeta can be used. There is not that many to do but at the time, I didn't feel like doing it, so I reverted my changes. -- WOSlinker (talk) 06:54, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

The sop
The plugGiven your stellar work in the field already, I thought (make that "hoped" :D) you might be interested in some work I've been doing. I've been analysing the parameters used in the various WikiProject banners still in CAT:WPB, and have a nice big spreadsheet of which templates use which parameters (and how many different ones are used by each banner!). I thought you might first of all like to know how comprehensive your campaign to convert all the non-quality-scale banners was: you only missed two banners! More proactively, however, there are 183 banners which only use quality and importance scales, with no other wierd parameters. If (wink wink nudge nudge :D) you happened to be idle one day and wanted some more templates to convert, these would be relatively easy to do! I have a list going at User:MelonBot/WikiProject banner stats, I'll try and update it with any other relevant details (and ultimately the complete list in wikitable form). Many thanks again for your work so far with the WikiProject banners; I hope you'll be able to help with the next phase of the deployment. Happy‑melon 21:33, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Original Barnstar
Tennis templatesHello, I've seen your work converting tennis tournaments templates to NavboxYears, and I thought you might help with one problem I have. Tennis events frequently move over several locations, like the tournament currently known as Kingfisher Airlines Tennis Open, which had four locations in twelve years. The templates, for events like that, generally display the name of the city the event currently takes place in (for the Kingfisher event, Bangalore), and "tournaments". The problem is (still using the Kingfisher example) that when the template is used in articles about previous editions (as the 2007 Kingfisher Airlines Tennis Open), it still displays "Bangalore tournaments", even though the event at that time was in Mumbai. In order to avoid having templates with the name of a city that doesn't correspond to the actual location, some editors have decided to put all the locations in the template, like with the Stockholm/Essen/Stuttgart/Madrid event here. I don't think piling up names like this is the best solution, as you end up having bloated templates, that could, for some tournaments, have 7 or 8 different city names in it (that very template could become Stockholm/Essen/Stuttgart/Madrid/Shanghai next year...). So my question is : is it possible to add a function to these templates which would allow different names to be displayed on different articles ? I'm no template expert, and have no clue if it is possible, but I guess that would be the best option. Thanks, --Oxford St. (talk) 15:29, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
After changing a template, you would then need to add the title option on each article that used the template. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:45, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi Slinker! Thank you for the improvements you brought to my rather improvised version of Template:Anatolian Civilizations. To reflect the subject matter better, I will re-add the several pictures the template previously had though. I put a note on that in the talk page of the template. Any observations would be welcome. Regards. Cretanforever (talk) 10:35, 28 September 2008 (UTC) WikiProject EarthquakesIs there some reason why you emptied some the WikiProject Earthquakes categories? They're up for deletion. Black Tusk (talk) 20:01, 16 December 2008 (UTC) I didn't empty them, it's just that there are two sets of them, so I nominated the set that was empty. --WOSlinker (talk) 20:07, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
Merry Christmas from PrometheanO'Hai there WOSlinker, Merry Christmas!  WOSlinker, Template:CallsigndisThanks for the conversion. I based the code for this on the code for Geodis, but I obviously grabbed the copy of it before this standardization was done. It's ironic, because the only thing that was bugging me about implementing this template was that the special tips for disambiguation pages didn't appear on the edit page anymore, but I had no idea where to go to ask about how to get them back. Now they're there — thanks again! Mlaffs (talk) 00:36, 31 December 2008 (UTC) Template:User TFBH2Hi! I don't know if it was a good idea to change Template:User TFBH2 since not all articles the task force is working on are related to the guitarists project. Why did you change it? ----Merry Headcheese!-hexaChord2 00:17, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Reassessing episode listsHi WOSlinker, regarding some recent reassessments you performed to episode lists, I'd like to point out that WP:ANIME assesses episode, chapter, and character lists on the normal scale (Stub, Start, C, B), unless the lists have been split out into sublists (such as List of Bleach episodes or List of Dragon Ball manga volumes). You can read WP:ANIME's list assessment instructions at WP:ANIME/ASSESS#Assessment guidelines. Thanks! 「ダイノガイ千？！」(Dinoguy1000) 20:28, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
Template helpI noticed you'd updated Template:WP Criminal and wanted to ask if you could help. I have no idea how to fix this. The project needs Template:WP Criminal and Template:WP Crime to properly use "listas" when necessary, but it is not doing so. Even when I've added, for example, "listas=Gein, Ed", it still lists under E. Can you help with this, or direct somewhere that can? Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 01:49, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
WPBM conversion trackingHi WOS linker. I noticed your tracking table on Template talk:WPBannerMeta. I like the idea. I was going to suggest that we create a subpage for tracking conversions. On it we could list the templates we are working on and what stage of development each are at. For example there could be checklists for
This would be quite helpful as I often lose track of the ones I have worked on. What do you think? Martin 22:42, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
Todo listI wonder if you could incorporate an article-specific to-do list on your hook, so that it only displays the generic one is there is no /to_do subpage. I noticed that's what they were doing on the Beatles template and thought it might be a good idea generally. Martin 13:10, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
To Do ListsWhat exactly is your method of determining when a to-do list is not being used? I asked because I see that you're removing them from a lot of articles, and you removed one that had just been added the day before you came through. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 13:13, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
I think Bignole was referring to Talk:The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (franchise) where there was an existing to-do list. Martin 22:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
wpbsAs a matter of curiosity, why are you changing "wpbs" to "WPBS"? Both are redirects to WikiProjectBannerShell. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 22:05, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Cat importanceHave you broken it? Please see Category:NA-importance Buckinghamshire articles. Martin 17:37, 21 January 2009 (UTC) Indirectly, my editprotected request was done but it wasn't done correctly. :( -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:04, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
Your recent edit of this page broke instances of the template that had a subpage-name parameter with uppercase letters in it (a common situation I would expect) - the condition looking for a sandbox would never match and the template never display the sandbox text. I believe I have effectively fixed this without undoing the intent of your changes by converting both sides of the comparison to lowercase. I am not sufficiently experienced with parser functions to know if this was a good change, but having tested it, I believe it is functional. Please feel free to improve as you see fit. I note the documentation needs updating to reflect this change, however I will refrain from applying changes until the template itself seems stable. --Rogerb67 (talk) 14:53, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

The page is a redirect page and as such it should be empty. The page it is redirecting to does contain entries, making it is a valid category redirect page.

DVD listOK, it just seems to me that a fact backed up with a reference is better than one without, as it shows the reader it's not just a random date plucked out of the air. Also, the fact that it had already been released didn't stop people changing the Battlefield release date from 26/12/08 which is why I added that reference.

Your edits to WikiProject assessment templatesHello, I noticed that your edit to {{severe}} created this line: |PROJECT = WikiProject Severe weather when it should be this: |PROJECT = Severe weather since the former creates a redlink (with the word "WikiProject" duplicated) when the {{WPBannerMeta}} template is used. So far I have fixed this for {{severe}} and {{winterstorm}}, but I'm not sure how many other banners are affected. Thanks!
So if I did the last 80, who did the other 1,180?

Wp:AviationThank you for your help with the banner changeover, you were basically answering/fixing my questions before I even had to ask. There are just a few things I think would be nice to have before it goes live. Can the show/hide section have two sections, an "Additional information:" section and an "Associated taskforces:" section? With your creation of Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/bchecklist5 is Template:WPAVIATION/class needed anymore? There are some maintenance categories I'd like to work in. With the b-class checklist, anytime an item is checked "no" it's placed in a category. For example if b-1=no , it goes in Category:Aviation articles needing attention to coverage and accuracy. Also, if it's rated start, C, or B and the checklist is not fully completed with all "yes", it goes in Category:Aviation articles with incomplete B-Class checklists. Thanks for any help you can give - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 20:46, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Please add the quality rating to the {{WikiProject banner shell}} template instead of this project banner. See WP:PIQA for details.
Thanks again, I did a bit of an edit to the category page to get closer to what I'm looking for. I've been thinking that the checklist/maintenance categories could be useful to other projects as well, could the page be changed to allow the use of either 5 or 6 checks and made into a generalized hook. Then all project could use them if they want. - Trevor MacInnis (Contribs) 01:13, 25 February 2009 (UTC) I've done a further edit to the category page as well. See if that is what you are after. It now put the articles in the categories if yes is NOT specified rather than only when no was specified. It could be made in a more generalised hook but it would have taked a bit more work, so for the moment, I made a project specific version. If more projects want to do something similar later on then we could do something then. The best page for that may to be to add some options directly to Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/bchecklist5. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:27, 25 February 2009 (UTC) tfnestedHi, what is this hook actually for, do you know? I noticed that WPMED had used it on theirs, but I'm pretty sure they don't need it as they've already used the taskforce hook. Could you take a look please? I'm out for the weekend. Thanks, Martinmsgj 22:33, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
Couple of thingsHi WOSL,
On item 1. I suspect it might only be a quirk of a few projects which classify into Start/C/B. Have you seen it widely used? In either case, would it be better to use a custom mask in these cases, rather than cluttering up the default mask? And about the display, it should be pretty easy to code that if it is always the sixth point which is not used. On item 2. (Shall we start a new thread for each of these items? :) I like that idea. My idea was that another copy of the banner would be put onto the documentation subpage, and /istemplate page would detect that it was a documentation subpage and direct it to /createdoc. But a new parameter TEMPLATEDOCS might be neater. The main problem I have come across is how to render the name of a parameter. For example if a banner used attention = , how could we automatically show the "attention-needed" parameter on the documentation? Martinmsgj 19:46, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
|attention={{{attention|}}}
|ATTENTION_CAT =
|infobox={{{needs-infobox|}}}
|INFOBOX_CAT =
|TEMPLATEDOCS = auto
|attention_paramdoc=attention
|infobox_paramdoc=needs-infobox
|note 1_paramdoc=screenshot
|...etc...
-- WOSlinker (talk) 19:58, 4 March 2009 (UTC) Banner conversionsWow, you've been busy with these conversions! Just a comment. When you post these editprotected requests could you make sure the sandbox copy is exactly as it needs to be? If I copy it across then obviously I can check and fix things (e.g. take sandbox out of BANNER_NAME) but another admin is not necessarily going to know that and it would mean another request to fix things. Also, I think it's a good idea to add the documentation template to all of them, even if there isn't any documentation yet. Do you agree? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm trying to follow what you're doing but can't see the logic. MegX (talk) 07:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Hi, The Led Zeppelin template is already in Category:WikiProject banners with quality assessment which is a subcategory of Category:WikiProject banners, so it didn't need to be in the WikiProject banners category as well. The other edits I've recently done to a few /doc pages is to put some sandbox versions into Category:WikiProject banners under development. This is all just to tidyup the membership of Category:WikiProject banners so that only banners that are not using WPBannerMeta are still in that category. -- WOSlinker (talk) 07:51, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
WikiProject banners categoryYou might want to add an explanation to the edit summary when you remove Category:WikiProject banners from templates. if removing it from templates that use {{WPBannerMeta}} is the norm now I can think of probably dozens of templates that should have it removed as well. I'll add this to my general cleanup tasklist for when I see these. Tothwolf (talk) 18:42, 19 March 2009 (UTC) class templateI left this code [3] in place because I intended to use it as an example to show why we should be passing B_CHECKLIST and FULL_QUALITY_SCALE to the custom class template. As it is currently, if either of these parameters are changed in the project's {{WPBannerMeta}} template, they won't have any effect on a custom class template because they aren't being passed through for logic code to make use of them.

{{#ifeq:{{b6}}|unused|criteria|'''[[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria|criteria]]'''}}
and in the Aviation example, it doesn't show if class=Start. I'm not sure if this requirement is the same for other 5 point checklists or just the Aviation one. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:12, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
Here's some examples:

By the way, I removed the check for BANNER_NAME on the quality and importance scales. I think this is fine because category=no on templatepage. Can you just confirm that you agree!? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:29, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
Do you think "criteria" be linked to {{{ASSESSMENT_LINK}}}#Quality scale as well in the case of a 5-point checklist? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:03, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
Blimey, you were quick. I was trying to do that page myself but I didn't even get halfway down before I noticed you had beat me to it! PC78 (talk) 17:56, 5 April 2009 (UTC) Class iconsI noticed quite a bit of transclusion changing of the class icons on this template: Template:Sex in SF talk. I don't care which format is used, but it has recently been changed from {{classicon|xx}}, to {{icon-xx}}, then back again by you, then the classicon to {{icon|xx}}, which caused a bot to claim copyright infringment, breaking the template. I cannot find anything that says any of these are prefered, so i wondered why people are changing them? Also, if {{icon|FT}} is going to cause Bot psychosis, either the template or the bot is wrong, so you might want to avoid ithat one t until it is sorted. Thanks for other fixed though!YobMod 08:24, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Bot faultPlease see this. I figured you should be aware of the issue. --Cyde Weys 09:43, 8 April 2009 (UTC) ClassiconHi, I guess you're editing with AWB, so do you think that you could have a stab at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/id Software? Thanks! JACOPLANE • 2009-04-10 09:13
{{WPNZ}}I'm just wondering what to do with the quality classes on this banner as only template and disambig are used ... What do you think? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 06:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
On further thought, there seemed to be almost 1000 categories which have been tagged as NA, so I've implemented a custom mask to force these to Category-Class. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:49, 15 April 2009 (UTC) Cat classCould you please look at Template talk:Cat class#Category:Tennessee templates? I know you had a solution to this which was rejected before, but perhaps we can find the best solution to the Assessed vs Assessed-Class issue. Thanks, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:52, 17 April 2009 (UTC) Template deletionYou've listed two of my templates for deletion with the notation: "copy to user space". I thought they were in user space. Could you let me know what this means? Do I need to object to the deletions? Thanks. --..BlackThorTalk • Contribs 11:01, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
substcheckAre you happy with my proposed implementation detailed at Template talk:WPBannerMeta#Banner substitution? I must admit that I don't really understand how it works but I've tested it and it does seem to! Clever stuff. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:21, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for that. By the way, if you get a free moment, do you fancy lending a hand at Template:ChristianityWikiProject/sandbox? It's the biggest I've taken on yet. I've got a todo list on the talkpage. Thanks, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:04, 19 April 2009 (UTC) FmboxHi WOSlinker. Thanks for suggesting using {{fmbox}} in MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer and MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-anon, it's about time! Since I'm in a hurry (going to a friends birthday party) I thought it was quicker to leave a message here. And you might like to fix these things yourself anyway:

Talkback You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. -- IRP ☎ 22:42, 20 April 2009 (UTC) Userbox-rLeft a note there. - jc37 07:18, 24 April 2009 (UTC) Template:AlienProjectRecently you edited Template:AlienProject to add the "substcheck" and "assessment link" features. Subsequently, all of the importance assessements in the project banners were broken (in all talk pages using the template, "Importance" shows up as "???" even though the field is filled in, and when the 1.0 Assessment bot ran its course all of the importance assessements were lost; see here). I've tried to fix the problem but to no avail. Other project templates I'm involved with, to which you have made identical changes, have not experienced this problem. Could you help me out with fixing this? Thanks. --IllaZilla (talk) 04:50, 27 April 2009 (UTC) Never mind, whatever I did seems to have worked. --IllaZilla (talk) 05:37, 27 April 2009 (UTC) {{WPENLANG}}Oi, you changed it. Why? Long version of the explanation, please, with links etc. to an explanation of your explanation. Tks. Ling.Nut (talk—WP:3IAR) 11:30, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
System messagesJust added a couple of your edit requests. I just wondered where MediaWiki:Uncategorizedcategories-summary is displayed and how you knew about this title. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:20, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Adjusting WikiProject California banner for University of CaliforniaHi, I was wondering how difficult it would be to adjust {{WikiProject California}} to include a task force for University of California, and if there are any special issues that need to be considered for task forces of two fairly independent projects like WP Cal and WP Universities, and if you would be able to adjust the banner if the consensus is for the conversion. I've started the merge/task force discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject University of California#Converting to task force of WikiProject California. -Optigan13 (talk) 05:58, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
|BANNER_NAME = {{{BANNER_NAME|Template:WikiProject California}}}
so that the existing template can use {{WikiProject California}}? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:18, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
TfD nomination of Template:Dontdothat
Template funHi, I noticed your competant at editing Template:D&D amoung others templates. D&D makes use of a class Bottom-importance. Could you edit Template:Chess-WikiProject so that the lass Bottom-importance would also work. SunCreator (talk) 23:12, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
I hadn't noticed this message initially due to the one below that came in about the same time. And by the time I did, Martin had already done it. Thanks, Martin. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC) Hi, another contributor made a change to this template regarding image placement. While the changes streamline the code a little, the text now bumps right up against the image where there was a small bit of padding before. Could you take a look and mayhaps help me reset it? --Jeremy (blah blah) 09:59, 8 May 2009 (UTC) Taskforce hookWould there be any advantage in putting some of this code into a core? If so, could you help me with it? I thought I could be clever and merge the templatepage version as well, but didn't get very far. Thanks, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:37, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Welcome back. Did you have a nice holiday? Did you go anywhere nice? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:48, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. - Dank (push to talk) 18:26, 15 May 2009 (UTC) WikiProject Check WikipediaI just found this project and started picking some tasks to work on. I notice that you did all the duplicate Interwiki link ones, so I deleted that section from the page. Are there any others you completed? If so, deleting the section(s) would save time for the rest of us. Thanks! --Auntof6 (talk) 05:55, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
autoCan I ask what Category:WPBannerMeta templates using auto param is for? Are you planning something with these? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:06, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
|AUTO_ASSESS =
|auto={{{auto|}}}
Oh. That's really bad. How can such a transition have happened? We could maybe fix it temporarily by turning it off if AUTO_ASSESS is passed but not "yes". — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:37, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
User ArabI saw your edit to Template:User Arab using userbox. I wondered about the categories. I used {{#ifeq:{{ns:2}}|{{NAMESPACE}}|[[Category:Arab Wikipedians|{{PAGENAME}}]]|}}. You changed that to >{{#ifeq:{{lc:{{{category|}}}}}|no||{{#ifeq:{{ns:2}}|{{NAMESPACE}}|[[Category:Arab Wikipedians|{{PAGENAME}}]]|}}}}. What does the addition do?
