At the moment we don't have any way of handling taskforces/workgroups which use the term ''priority''. I would like to request that the IMPN parameter is optionally accepted by [[Template:WPBannerMeta/taskforce|/taskforce]] so that this can be achieved.

== Custom mask and hooks ==

[[Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/taskforces]] doesn't seem to be compatible with a custom mask? Could this be incorporated? [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 16:57, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

:It should be. Example? <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 16:58, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

::Sorry, my mistake again it seems. What I am really trying to do is to get hook_collapsed to work without using any collapsed_text or collapsed notes. Is this possible? [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 23:36, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

:::I see, although I don't entirely follow your thought processes from one to the other <tt>:D</tt>. That's definitely a bug, now hopefully {{fixed}} <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 11:15, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

::::No I don't think they were related really :) Next thing: I think there is a vertical line missing after {{CAT on [[Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/peerreview]]. Thanks, [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 11:27, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::There certainly is, well spotted. {{fixed}} <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 13:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I still think there is something wrong with the [[Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/taskforces|taskforce hook]]. FQS and B_CHECKLIST are not passed to /class. For TF_2-6, FQS is passed (possibly unnecessarily) to /taskforce, but not for TF_1. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 21:01, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

:{{fixed}} ?? Get someone to revert [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/taskforces&diff=prev&oldid=260569750] if things break; I have to go to bed <tt>:D</tt> <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 23:06, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

::Yes, I think it is fixed thanks. Next thing. When using custom quality classes (e.g. Bplus), the banner says it is not an article and does not require a rating. This is wrong in this case (e.g. [[Talk:Fourier series]]). Can something be done about it? [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 14:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

::I think it unlikely that a particular class would be regarded as an article by one project and not by another. Therefore I propose a yes/no switch on a separate page which tells /qualityscale whether it's an article or not. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 15:23, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Happy? [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 15:34, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

::::I'm trying to think of a nice way to have it drop out of /class without having to create two separate masks... <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 15:45, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:::::I agree, that would be better. But the only way I can think of is to put one in capitals and the other in lowercase. But I'm sure you'll think of something better! [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 00:58, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I've got it. For each custom class in the mask which is an article, add another option in the switch with ''article'' appended and outputing "yes". So for example you might have

<pre>

{{#switch:{{lc:{{{class|}}}}}

|fa = FA

|fl = FL

|a = A

|ga = GA

|bplus|b+ = Bplus

|bplusarticle

|b+article = yes

|b = B

|c = C

|start = Start

|stub = Stub

|list = List

}}

</pre>

There would still be the default article mask for the usual classes. Then you can check if it's an article by calling /mask|class={{{class}}}article I think that might work! [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 11:50, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:I've been thinking more. I think most cases could be handled by the default quite easily. For example, I think all pages in main space should be called articles by default, except for the obvious few (redirect, dab, list, etc.) [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 15:53, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

::I tend to agree; the "this page/article has been rated..." message works reasonably well for all messages, while the "this page is not an article" message is quite obviously ''wrong'' in some cases. I've reversed the default so that all nonstandard classes get the "has been rated" message; I think this resolves the worst of the issue. Implementing another custom mask is just too complicated for such a tiny gain. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 18:59, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:::<s>It's not working - see bug below! [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 19:17, 1 January 2009 (UTC)</s> All working great now I think! [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 16:13, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== Category optout transition ==

This is currently in progress, changing '''µ''' to '''¬''' everywhere. This is probably going to be a bit messy, particularly if I miss any banners. I'm trying to be thorough, but do please ring a bell if MelonBot misses updating any banners and you consequently lose all your categories... and apologies in advance if that happens. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 12:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:Ok, this ''should'' now be complete, so if any banners still contain the code <code><nowiki>category={{{category|μ}}}</nowiki></code> '''that is an error'''. Please replace the the mu character with a 'not sign' '''¬''', which is on the very top-left of most keyboards (UK ones at least, not sure about other styles), usually with the shift key; or post here if eg the page is protected or it's more complicated than a simple replace. ''Hopefully'' this new character won't have the same problems as we've been having with μ. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 14:59, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:Any help to keep [[:Category:WPBannerMeta templates with old category optout code]] clean would also be appreciated. The category picks up any ''instances'' of banners that haven't had their default updated; you can easily see which one by checking which set of project categories is missing. Then just click through the vde link and update the default. Many thanks in advance for any assistance you can give. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 15:02, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

::Cleared again. It seems to be mainly templates with an incorrect BANNER_NAME parameter, and banners which have been substituted instead of transcluded. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 16:42, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:On which page did you see this? [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 19:13, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:I see, it's from [[Template:WPBannerMeta/doc]]. This must be due to H-M's recent edit. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 19:16, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, we're just waiting for Happy-Melon to revert his recent edit to [[Template:WPBannerMeta/qualityscale]]. If he's not online shortly I'll put an {{tl|editprotected}} on it. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 19:42, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:Editprotected request placed. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 20:11, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Thanks. As I've said before somewhere else; don't hesitate to revert me if I screw up, it happens often enough. You usually can't make the problem any ''worse'', even if it's impossible to go back to the previous behavior because they're a series of connected changes.
