:I'd say that talk archive can be NA like regular talk. /FAQ (and maybe /GA) ideally should be project but if that is an issue then NA can work also (or allow manual override with the normal class parameter). [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 08:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
::I think I would prefer to treat all these subpages in the same way, rather that try to guess what they are based on the name of the page — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 11:10, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
== PROJECT_STATUS parameter ==
The module currently has an undocumented parameter for the status of a project, which will add a CSS class to the outer table. For example if you set {{para|PROJECT_STATUS|semiactive}} then it will add <code>class="semi-active-project"</code>. Does anyone know if this has any purpose or is used by any tools? It either needs documenting properly or removing — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 11:53, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
:The rendering of the banner changes also, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=template%3A+insource%3A%22PROJECT_STATUS%22&title=Special%3ASearch&ns0=1 see uses]. [[User:Izno|Izno]] ([[User talk:Izno|talk]]) 16:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
::The rendering of inactive banners is not triggered by the PROJECT_STATUS parameter. It's produced by a different ("inactive") function of the module — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 08:58, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
:This parameter was added in 2021 after [[Module talk:WikiProject banner/Archive_13#Protected edit request on 8 February 2021|this request]] by [[User:MJL]]. The rationale given was "The change adds a new class to the banner which would allow users to hide inactive WikiProject at their own discretion". — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 09:01, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
Here are my thoughts:
* It is understandable that some editors wish to hide inactive banners, and the <code>inactive-project</code> class should continue to be applied to inactive banners.
* I do not see the value of <code>active-project</code> or <code>semi-active-project</code> and I don't believe anyone is using these.
* The {{para|PROJECT_STATUS}} parameter can be dropped from active project banners
* For inactive banners, there may be some utility in allowing {{para|PROJECT_STATUS|defunct}} to be defined instead of the default {{para|PROJECT_STATUS|inactive}}. So this parameter should continue to be supported for inactive banners.
* Other statuses listed at [[Wikipedia:Inactive WikiProjects]] such as "dormant", "revivable", "dead", "stillborn" will not be supported unless there is a specific request for this.

::Out of interest, did you use personal CSS to hide these banners, or are you aware of users who have done so? — Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]] · [[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 20:27, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
