Hi, I have worked at [[Template:WikiProject Animation]] myself many times before someone is protected by admin, including the 6 B-Class checklist like WikiProject Anime and manga and WikiProject Horror. Yes, I have worked at the WikiProject Animation banner too much, and added some work groups back in November though March since many of the Animation related WikiProjects have gone inactive like WikiProject American Animation, WikiProject Warner Bros. Animation and WikiProject Cartoon Network which went inactive, and I've converted into work groups of [[WP:ANIMATION]]. I am not really happy about the indefinite protection of the template, and I should have been an admin myself. Recently, I have added the A-Class parameter, and added new work groups including Cartoon Network and Hanna-Barbera. I have a sandbox at my [[User:Jj98/Template:WikiProject Animation|user page]] which I had been working myself to ensure it is working correctly.

== Template:WikiProject Essex ==

WikiProject Essex is now a TF of WikiProject East Anglia. There are 1,400+ transclusions of Template:WikiProject Essex on article talk pages. What is the best/easiest way to update those talk pages, so that they now show <nowiki>{{WikiProject East Anglia|Essex=yes}}</nowiki> and are sorted into Essex article categories, as well? --[[User:Funandtrvl|Funandtrvl]] ([[User talk:Funandtrvl|talk]]) 15:46, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

== Suppressing comments ==

{{editprotected|answered=yes}}

I suggest the following edit to {{tl|WPBannerMeta/core}}: change --

<pre><nowiki>

</table></td></tr>{{#if:{{{COMMENTS|}}}

|{{WPBannerMeta/comments

|CAT={{{COMMENTS_CAT|}}}

|class={{{class|}}}

|BANNER_NAME={{{BANNER_NAME}}}

|category={{{category|¬}}}

}}

}}

</nowiki></pre>

to --

<pre><nowiki>

</table></td></tr>{{#ifeq:{{lc:{{{class|}}}}}|redirect||{{#if:{{{COMMENTS|}}}

|{{WPBannerMeta/comments

|CAT={{{COMMENTS_CAT|}}}

|class={{{class|}}}

|BANNER_NAME={{{BANNER_NAME}}}

|category={{{category|¬}}}

}}

}}}}

</nowiki></pre>

Rationale: if a page is a redirect then there is no reason for it to be assessed, and therefore there is no reason to invoke the /comments subtemplate. This avoids needless cluttering of the links table for redirect pages. (See [[WP:Database reports/Redirects containing red links]] for an example of such clutter.) --[[User:R'n'B|R'n'B]] ([[User talk:R'n'B|call me]] Russ) 16:09, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

:Although I see your reasoning Im not sure I agree for a couple reasons. 1 many projects include Redirect as a class of content they track, 2 sometimes articles are changed from content to redirect innappropriately and without discussion and having the "comment" show up is a good tip off of this activity, 3 the comment subpage structure was eliminated sometime ago and the comments should be moved to the talk page so we should be continuing to move or simply delete these comments rather than hide them from view IMO. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 16:20, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

:::A good option would be to ask for a change to that report at [[Wikipedia talk:Database reports]]. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 22:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
