== Collapsed section ==

In the '''Collapsed section''', {{para|c note 1}} & {{para|c note 2}} don't work as there are two spaces missing from WPBannerMeta/core.

Could the following be changed from

<pre>

{{#if:{{{COLLAPSED_TEXT|}}}{{#switch:{{{c note1|}}}{{{c note2|}}}{{{c note 3|}}}{{{c note 4|}}}{{{c

note 5|}}}||¬|¬¬|¬¬¬|¬¬¬¬|¬¬¬¬¬=|yes}}

</pre>

to

<pre>

{{#if:{{{COLLAPSED_TEXT|}}}{{#switch:{{{c note 1|}}}{{{c note 2|}}}{{{c note 3|}}}{{{c note 4|}}}{{{c

note 5|}}}||¬|¬¬|¬¬¬|¬¬¬¬|¬¬¬¬¬=|yes}}

</pre>

Thanks. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 23:37, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

:Oops, that was [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:WPBannerMeta/core&diff=257981712&oldid=257931630 this edit]. Well spotted WOSlinker (what ''is'' a WOS linker?) [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 09:17, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:Well, WOS stands for ''World of Spectrum''. When I first started, I was just adding links to a number of computer games articles. But since then I done a few other [[User:WOSlinker|things]]. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 11:44, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

::You certainly have :) [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 12:06, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== B-class checklist niggle ==

If none of the B-class checklist parameters are used, then the following is displayed:

<pre style="font-size:90%; margin:0px;">

| b1 <!--Referencing & citations--> = <yes/no>

| b2 <!-- Coverage and accuracy --> = <yes/no>

| b3 <!-- Structure --> = <yes/no>

| b4 <!-- Grammar and style --> = <yes/no>

| b5 <!-- Supporting materials --> = <yes/no>

| b6 <!-- Accessible --> = <yes/no>

</pre>

However, not all projects use the same parameters (for example, some use B-Class-1, B-Class-2, etc.) so this may be incorrect. I was just thinking that [[Talk:East Prussia]] might really confuse someone who is trying to rate it as B-class. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 11:57, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:Ouch! I can see the issue, but I think trying to play with the default message is asking for a world of pain with optional parameters flying everywhere. Isn't the simplest method to make sure each banner supports this set of parameters, whatever their 'primary' parameters may be? <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 13:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

::Yes, maybe, but that will involve updating all banners which use the checklist which could also be very painful! [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 13:34, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:::There aren't actually [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=Template%3AWPBannerMeta%2Fbchecklist&namespace=10 that many] of them. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 16:01, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

::::Okay, this should be possible then. Shall we just change any non-standard ones to

<pre>

|b1={{{B-Class-1|{{{b1|}}}}}}

</pre>

::::etc. I've noticed some using B1, B2, etc. I suppose parameters are case=sensitive? [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 17:48, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::Yes, that looks good. Parameter ''names'' are case-sensitive, although the parameter ''values'' are not. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 17:51, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::Huh? That doesn't sound right. Parameter values ''are'' case-sensitive, otherwise we wouldn't need to use constructs such as <nowiki>{{lc:{{{class}}} }}</nowiki>. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 10:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::::Sorry, I meant that parameter values are case-insensitive ''because'' we use the lc: construct everywhere <tt>:D</tt>. There's no equivalent construct to make parameter ''names'' case insentitive, unfortunately. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 10:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

{{done}}. All banners using the checklist have been fixed, and the documentation has been updated to prevent this problem in the future. [[User talk:Msgj|Martin]] 16:06, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

== class=Image ==

Would it be possible for class=Image to also recognize class=File after our namespace change? Just a thought. <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Stepshep|§hep]]</font> • <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Stepshep|¡Talk to me!]]</font> 22:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
