Several WikiProjects have taskforces. I would like to add such taskforces to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology]] ([[Template:WikiProject Sociology]]), starting with the social movements task force, but I cannot find a guide on how to do so, and the code in existing templates with that functionality is too complex for me ([[Template:WPMILHIST]] or [[Template:AfricaProject]]). I'd appreciate your help! --_{<span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User_talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> talk </font>]]</span>} 17:04, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

::Thanks. How can I get a task force assessment statitics to display (like [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Nordic_military_history_task_force#Tagging_and_assessment|here]])? The project list is [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Sociology articles by quality statistics|here]]. Also - do I need to create the categories listed at [[Template:WikiProject Sociology]]? I don't think I want to reassess the articles for the taskforce, I just want them to have a category and to enable the task force stat list as mentioned above (like MILHIST does). --_{<span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User_talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> talk </font>]]</span>} 20:46, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

:::Just guessing here, but you probably need to create and fill the requisite categories, the toplevel quality (Social movements articles by quality) and importance categories probably need [[:Category:Wikipedia 1.0 assessments]] and then add {{tlx|Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Social movement articles by quality statistics}} somewhere. (You could also [[WP:CWW|copy]] what milhist has done if you want it to be a malleable template that accepts the parameters for the different task forces) –[[user:xeno|<fontspan facestyle="font-family:verdana"; color=":black;">'''xeno'''</fontspan>]][[user talk:xeno|<fontsup colorstyle="color:black;">^talk</font>]] 20:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

::::I've created the top level category. I am not sure how to activate the other template to generate those nice quality stats... hopefully somebody can offer suggestions on that. --_{<span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User_talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> talk </font>]]</span>} 22:44, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

:::::I believe you need to wait for the bot to run ... once every 24 hours I guess? You also need to add TF_1_QUALITY=yes , I think... And create those cats, and so on. Best place to ask for more help on this would be [[Template talk:WPBannerMeta]], where the WPBM vets hang out... –[[user:xeno|<fontspan facestyle="font-family:verdana"; color=":black;">'''xeno'''</fontspan>]][[user talk:xeno|<fontsup colorstyle="color:black;">^talk</font>]] 23:11, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

::::::I asked there - thanks. I added the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3AWikiProject_Sociology&action=historysubmit&diff=365531212&oldid=365518401 TF_1_QUALITY=yes] - don't recalling seeing it in the previous guide. So far, no visible changes, but there may be delayed due to the bot you mention or a need for a simple cache purge. I'll check on this tomorrow :) Thanks, --_{<span style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]|[[User_talk:Piotrus|<font style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> talk </font>]]</span>} 23:27, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

:::::::It may have something to do with the custom class mask in use. I'm sure the WPBM vets can help, in any case. –[[user:xeno|<fontspan facestyle="font-family:verdana"; color=":black;">'''xeno'''</fontspan>]][[user talk:xeno|<fontsup colorstyle="color:black;">^talk</font>]] 23:30, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

:''Moved from [[WP:VPT]]''

You need to set the ASSESSMENT_CAT parameter, which I have now done. I've also added prompts to the [[Template:WikiProject Sociology/class|custom class mask]] for all the categories which need creating. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 05:38, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Line 106:

:That is (just guessing) most likely caused by the images int he later category still calling it "images" and only showing File superficially on the front-end, compared to former category actually using "file", Although that probably should get fixed, it would caused a lot of empty categories I would be guessing, and a far bit of load changing all those categories around.

:See [[WP:RIF]]/[[WT:RIF]]. Those are the last few stragglers... –[[user:xeno on an iPhone|<fontspan facestyle="font-family:verdana"; color=":black;">'''xeno'''</fontspan>]][[user talk:xeno|<fontsup colorstyle="color:black;">^talk</font>]] 02:35, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

:Yes, you're right. Since July the class mask is defaulting to File-class. I regard this sluggish movement of pages between categories as a bug. The majority moved over fairly quickly, but I don't think the job queue can be blamed for the others taking so long. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 19:53, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Line 116:

I presume there's a master template for the plethora of minor wikiproject categorization templates (many unfilled, perhaps not helped by this tediousness). Wouldn't some template wiz feel great about disposing of unnecessary case (and order) sensitivities to help move this along a bit smoother? <span style="font-family: 'Brush script MT', cursive;font-size:1.4em;vertical-align:middle;"> [[User:Trev M|Trev M ]]&nbsp;[[User_talk:Trev_M|~&nbsp;]]</span> 12:38, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

:Suggest this at [[Template talk:WPBannerMeta]]. –[[user:xeno|<fontspan facestyle="font-family:verdana"; color=":black;">'''xeno'''</fontspan>]][[user talk:xeno|<fontsup colorstyle="color:black;">^talk</font>]] 17:51, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

::Always good to get a bit nearer to the business end of things&nbsp;– thanks Xeno.

Line 170:

::::And wouldn't multiples of 20 just be easier for them as well? I looked at how some projects are coding this, and to say it's complex doesn't begin to cover it. And from what I can tell (though I'll admit to not being an expert at template coding), not everyone is coding them using your hooks method. So perhaps going to 20 might help with that as well. (And I would guess that anything we do to reduce the well-meaning usage of parser functions would be a plus too?)

::::So anyway, you've said that 10 was arbitrary, so if I or someone else were to boldly change it to 20, that wouldn't break anything. Am I understanding correctly? - [[User:Jc37|jc37]] 17:43, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

:::::If it gets upped to twenty, then twenty sets of parameters are needed which bloats the meta template - as opposed to simply tacking on a next set of ten via a hook. Perhaps a better solution would be to provide a "[[for dummies]]" instruction manual on how to properly use hooks? –[[user:xeno|<fontspan facestyle="font-family:verdana"; color=":black;">'''xeno'''</fontspan>]][[user talk:xeno|<fontsup colorstyle="color:black;">^talk</font>]] 17:52, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
