::I did a null edit on every page transcluding [[:Template:WikiProject Mammals/Bats Task Force]] (just over 2,000 pages), so anything that could have ended up in the category should be there now. The category is empty. It should be safe to remove the excess code. You could leave the tracking category code in for a while if you are not confident in my work. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 18:29, 25 September 2023 (UTC)

== Slight change to behaviour of task forces on non-article pages ==
I've got code on the sandbox which will improve how the banner handles task forces on non-article pages. There are projects that use exotic extended classes like FM-class and Portal-class, but sometimes the separate task forces do not support the full range of these classes.
For example, [[:Category:FM-Class mammal articles]] exists but [[:Category:FM-Class Pocket pets articles]] does not. The proposed version will automatically use NA-class for the task force if the category does not exist or is blank. This involves a few more ifexist checks, but hopefully will not cause any performance issue. — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 15:21, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
:This is deployed and seems to be working okay — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 08:35, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
== [[:Category:WikiProject banners with non-standard names]] ==
Do we still need this tracking category? — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 09:50, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
:Having a non-standard name inhibits AWB from moving these into the banner shell as part of its general fixes and/or in general putting them in the place they're supposed to be on talk pages. So, yes, we should still have a tracking category. [[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 18:33, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
::I'm not sure how the remaining ones can be "fixed" but okay — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 18:42, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
:::I mean, I don't know why some of those pages have non-standard names, but for the ones that obviously do, the correct thing to do is rename them. [[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 19:45, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
:::Some are incorrect task forces that should be converted to use the main WikiProject template. Others can maybe be added to an exclude list (like [[Template:WikiProject C/C++]] and [[Template:WikiProject Hinduism/Shaktism]], though really per [[MOS:SLASH]] the name of the project should use "and" and as an added benefit, these probably won't be added to the category).
