:The {{para|HOOK_COLLAPSED}} hook injects to the bottom of the collapsible table, outside any defined cell or even a defined row (otherwise putting some things in it would result in nested tables or other wierdness). I'm not sure why Tidy moves content that's defined inside a table but outside any cell to a position ''outside'' the table, but that's not its fault. I've made the 2&rarr;3 col switch on /taskforce, hopefully that will improve handling. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 08:54, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

== Unassessed Class ==

Is there consensus as to which style is preferred: [[:Category:Unassessed Amiga articles]] or [[:Category:Unassessed-Class Amiga articles]]? The templates on [[Talk:History of the Amiga]] have placed it in both, though [[:Category:Unassessed Amiga articles]] is a category redirect to [[:Category:Unassessed-Class Amiga articles]]. [[Template:Cat class]] also appears to prefer the -Class style, which is why [[:Category:NA-Class science fiction articles]] links to [[:Category:Unassessed-Class science fiction articles]], but that is a category redirect pointing to [[:Category:Unassessed science fiction articles]]. --[[User:Pascal666|Pascal666]] ([[User talk:Pascal666|talk]]) 08:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

:The first page of [[:Category:Unassessed-Class articles]] shows a mixed result (but has itself Unassessed-Class in the title). While there appears to be a precedent for Unassessed XYZ articles, there seems to be a decent amount of Unassessed-Class categories as well. But that's just my observations off the first page, a tasting of 200 out of 1200 total.

:#Yes, I think you'll find that '''Unassessed XYZ articles''' is far more widely used than '''Unassessed-Class XYZ articles''', probably mainly due to the fact that this banner will always use the former.

:#Regarding [[Talk:History of the Amiga]], it's the computing banner which is placing it in the latter category. (The computing banner hasn't been converted to {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} yet.) I agree this is not ideal. Maybe it doesn't need the computing one if it has a more specific banner?

:#[[Template:Cat class]] will happily deal with both variants (but you're right that if the -Class variant exists it will use that). The solution would be to delete [[:Category:Unassessed-Class science fiction articles]].

::I am curious what was meant in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Category:Unassessed-Class_science_fiction_articles restore log] by "needed for [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Index|assessment tables]] to work properly." --[[User:Pascal666|Pascal666]] ([[User talk:Pascal666|talk]]) 17:11, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

:::[[:Category:Unassessed-Class Christianity articles]] & [[:Category:Unassessed Christianity articles]] are a particularily bad example of inconsistency between different banners. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 21:44, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

::Well, I tried to kill them, but another user pulled them into [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2009 February 17#Redirects to auto-assessment categories]]. I guess fixing those template links will have to wait for a bit. --[[User:Pascal666|Pascal666]] ([[User talk:Pascal666|talk]]) 14:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== To Do List Category ==

The {{tl|WikiProject Indianapolis}} banner has a nice feature that it might be good to add to the WPBannerMeta template.

:''If the {{tl|todo}} template is placed on a talk page that also has this project template, and the todo list contains content, then this project template will automatically add the talk page to [[:Category:Indianapolis articles with todo lists]].''

This could be actived be adding the following code:

<pre>

{{#if:{{{TODO_CAT|}}}|{{#ifexist:{{FULLPAGENAME}}/to do|{{#if:{{{{FULLPAGENAME}}/to do}}|[[Category:{{{TODO_CAT}}}|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}}}}}

</pre>

which would then work whenever the {{para|TODO_CAT}} parameter is set.

:Might be a nice feature. I like the way it checks that the list is non-empty. I requested this for the comments subpage for a while ago ... [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 19:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

== listas parameter not sorting in certain banners? ==

Hi, could you give us an update to when the listas parameter will work? See: [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#How to add listas sorting to a WPBM banner?]]. Thanks. --[[User:Funandtrvl|Funandtrvl]] ([[User talk:Funandtrvl|talk]]) 21:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

:When the developers see fit to fix {{bug|16552}}, which is really not a particularly difficult thing to implement; someone with shell access just needs to change one line of config and run one maintenance script (although I realise it might be a fairly epic run; it would essentially reset every category sorkey on every Wikimedia wiki). I would encourage people to go vote for that bug if you have a bugzilla account, and to otherwise poke the devs in any way you can. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 22:45, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

::Okay, I voted for it at Bugzilla. Anything else we can do? Thanks. --[[User:Funandtrvl|Funandtrvl]] ([[User talk:Funandtrvl|talk]]) 23:08, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
