An example is at [[Talk:Biratnagar]], with image_right on, the comments do not go the full length of the box, but stop at the start of the image on the right. I am using Firefox 3.0.4.. —[[User:Borgarde|Borgarde]]<sup>[[User Talk:Borgarde|talk]]</sup> 03:01, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
== Current-class ==
Yesterday I adapted the {{tl|WP UK Politics}} template to use WPBannerMeta and activated the option for the extended assessment scale. However, today I have found that articles previously identified as "class=Current" are now showing as "Unassessed" (see [[Talk:Opinion polling in the next United Kingdom general election]] for an example). I have tried to use both "class=Current" and "class=current" but to no affect.<br />
Is this a bug with WPBannerMeta or am I doing something wrong? [[User:Road Wizard|Road Wizard]] ([[User talk:Road Wizard|talk]]) 10:37, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
:The current class is not recognised by the metabanner, and all unrecognised classes will be classed as unassessed. Apparently Happy-Melon is working on a solution that will enable project-specific classes. (Hopefully!) [[User talk:Msgj|MSGJ]] 13:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
::That is strange as Future-class isn't a standard assessment class either but that works fine (see [[Talk:Next United Kingdom general election|here]]). However if this isn't just a one off bug then I will probably revert to the previous code and await a more permanent fix.

:::Yes, for some reason future-class was implemented along with merge-class and needed-class. But not current class. I have implemented the current class categorisation using a Note, but it is not a tidy solution as it will categorise these articles as NA-Class and Current-Class. So, yes, you might like to revert until the next version is released :) [[User talk:Msgj|MSGJ]] 13:45, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
:::Personally I would suggest you separate current/future by using a different parameter, as it is not related to quality at all. Then you could have Current-State B-Class articles for example. [[User talk:Msgj|MSGJ]] 13:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the interim fix, I will see how it works for a few days before I take any further action. However, Current and Future are related to quality assessments in the context that a current or future article is highly unstable and that it is much more likely for a standard quality rating to be incorrect at any given point. Also, it would be extremely unlikely for a current or future article to achieve a high quality rating, as by definition they do not provide a broad or complete overview of a subject until after the event has passed.

== Nested template ==
There seems to be a problem when [[:Template:WPCountries]], that uses this template, is nested within [[:Template:WikiProjectBannerShell]]. The project banners placed after countries banner are not contained in the banner shell. See for an example [[Talk:Netherlands]]. – [[User:Ilse@|Ilse]][[User talk:Ilse@|@]] 12:49, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
:The problem appears to be related to the b-class checklist. Changing the class to something that doesn't activate the checklist causes the problem to disappear temporarily. [[User:Road Wizard|Road Wizard]] ([[User talk:Road Wizard|talk]]) 13:11, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
::That seems to be right. I have disabled the B class checklist temporarily and the banner is now displaying correctly. I wonder if this problem is occuring with every banner which uses the checklist? [[User talk:Msgj|MSGJ]] 13:27, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
:::I have checked {{tl|WP UK Politics}} and exactly the same problem is occurring. It is definitely a bug with WPBannerMeta and not an individual project template. [[User:Road Wizard|Road Wizard]] ([[User talk:Road Wizard|talk]]) 13:33, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
::::Thank you for looking into the matter. I hope the problem can be fixed. – [[User:Ilse@|Ilse]][[User talk:Ilse@|@]] 13:42, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::Well we'll just wait for the boss to come and fix it. I guess it's related to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:WPBannerMeta/bchecklist&diff=254230551&oldid=241627416 edit] of four days ago. [[User talk:Msgj|MSGJ]] 13:52, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
::::::So revert it <tt>:D</tt>. It's not my template, I just happen to be the only one who understands it entirely, and that's only because I built it so didn't have to take the time to pick it apart. If you think you know why an error is occuring, please do go ahead and fix it. You're really no more likely than I am to break something else in the process <tt>:D</tt>. That said, I'll have a look... <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 21:15, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Well not all of us are able to edit protected pages ... I've been waiting 10 days for a protected edit on another page which still hasn't been done. Seriously though I don't think I would dare touch this template :) [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 21:22, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
