:Concerning the {{para|category}} parameter (which all WikiProject banner templates have - or should have, anyway), also the {{para|auto}} parameter (found in rather less than half of the WikiProject banner templates) - when writing doc pages, I purposely omit these from the copypaste boilerplates because {{para|category}} is rarely used, and {{para|auto}} should not be used except by bots. For the same reasons, I always place them bottom of the "Optional parameters" list (which is otherwise ordered alphabetically), and omit them from any examples. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] 🌹 ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 18:52, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
::Good idea - I've removed those from the boilerplate text. Rather than grouping alphabetically, I've grouped the optional parameters into notes/alerts and task forces. Headings appear when a few are in use. — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 20:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
== Please check Template:WikiProject Portals for template limit problems ==
Hi, would you check [[:Template:WikiProject Portals]], as I believe it is causing template limit problems on [[Portal talk:South Africa]]. In [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal_talk:South_Africa&oldid=1004648032 this version], there are 3 hidden category errors. When the WikiProject Portals template is removed, then the hidden categories don't show up, at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal_talk:South_Africa&direction=next&oldid=1004648032 this newer version].

:The problem is somewhere within [[Module:Portal maintenance status]]. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 18:23, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
:Yes, I agree. {{ping|Evad37}} please could you look into this? — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 19:04, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
::Thanks for the ping. The limits problem occurs only when the {{tl|Portal maintenance status}} isn't at the top of the portal page, but is instead within a table or another template. I've fixed the immediate issue by moving that template to the top of [[Portal:South Africa]], but a more general solution should still be looked into – either Lua coding improvements, or a bot to ensure the template is positioned correctly, or reconsidering whether the status needs to be transcluded to the talk page. - <u>'''[[User:Evad37|Evad]]''37'''''</u> <span style="font-size:95%;">[[[d:w:User talk:Evad37|talk]]]</span> 23:37, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
