::I've reverted it myself—I hope he won't mind. [[User:Fvasconcellos|Fvasconcellos]]<small>&nbsp;([[User talk:Fvasconcellos|t]]·[[Special:Contributions/Fvasconcellos|c]])</small> 20:12, 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. Just go to my contribs and start clicking 'undo' until it looks ok <tt>:D</tt> <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 20:24, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

== category=no ==

On [[Template:WikiProject Veronica Mars]], the documentation includes an example of the template using the ''category=no'' parameter. However the information message still appears below the banner. I suggest that this should be supressed. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 19:11, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Actually it's not nice! It's not passing the parameters through and so it's showing the same example each time. As it is quite reasonable to put examples in the documentation, I think we should support this. Two options:

:::#Update /templatepage to pass through each parameter if it is defined.

:::#Update the root template to pass to /core if ''category'' is defined.

:::I think I prefer the second option. Thoughts? [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 08:44, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

::::Indeed not nice! I have done option 2 (good thinking!), which is now, I hope, nice... <tt>:D</tt> <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 11:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

== Nice style ==

I came across [[Template:WikiProject Korea]] which, in my opinion, has a really nice layout on its banner. The quality and importance scales are smaller and alongside the picture, which makes the banner a lot more compact. What do people think about it? Is there any way that this style could be used on BannerMeta? [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 22:39, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:Wouldn't scale well to banners with huge numbers of notes and taskforces, which are quite common. Would also be frighteningly complicated to calculate that rowspan (make that ''impossible'' to calculate for banners using hooks). Looks nice there, I agree, but would be very difficult to implement here. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 22:47, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

::I was only suggesting that the quality and importance could be alongside the picture. Notes and taskforces would be unaffected. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 23:01, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

:::Ah, I see. There's still a hook in there that could (''would'') screw things up, although it's not very widely used. When looking at a page that actually has the assessments filled in (eg [[Talk:Sun Myung Moon]]) I think it looks a bit wierd, actually. It would look even more bizzarre if there were then notes coming down from the image in the normal way. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 11:26, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

::::Okay, yes, I think I agree with you. It does look quite odd. Probably be okay if the image was on the right. But not going to work here. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 16:14, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::The banner right now is generally the accepted "norm" as far as sizes, colors, text placement go; a lot of people are frustrated with this template in the fist place, making everything look different from what's been normal seems to be a bad idea. <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Stepshep|§hep]]</font> • <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Stepshep|¡Talk to me!]]</font> 21:22, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
