A while ago the physics banner linked to the project's [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Physics/Quality Control#Importance Guidelines|guidelines for importance ratings]], but this is not possible under the metabanner. Could custom messages be shown instead (I'm sure other projects would like to link to their own A/B class guidelines too)?[[User:Headbomb|Headbomb]]&nbsp;{^{[[User talk:Headbomb|ταλκ]]}<sub style="margin-left:-4.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/Headbomb|κοντριβς]]</sub>&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;[[WP:PHYS|WP Physics]]} 20:07, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

:You can use the ASSESSMENT_LINK parameter to define what the "rated" link points to. [[User:Msgj|Martin]]^{[[User talk:Msgj|msgj]]} 22:13, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== "fix nested header alignment/linewrapping/general awfulness" ==

With the successful wind up of quite a long chain of changes, it is now possible for me to have a crack at resolving this issue that's been bugging me for a while. Please take a look at the nested examples below and tell me what you see:

{{WPBS|1=

{{WikiProject Cutlery|class=FA|priority=low|category=no}}

{{WPBannerMeta/test|class=B|importance=Low|category=no}}

{{WPBannerMeta/test|class=C|importance=Low|category=no|Atari=yes}}

{{WPBannerMeta/test|class=Fa|importance=Low|category=no

|Atari=yes|GOW=yes|C&C=yes|DAH=yes|GTA=yes|Warcraft=yes}}

{{WikiProject Discworld|category=no|class=GA}}

{{WikiProject Australia|category=no|class=GA|Brisbane=yes|Canberra=yes|Adelaide=yes|NSW=yes|places=yes}}

}}

The WikiProject Cutlery is an example of the current display when no quality assessment is given. The Discworld banner shows the current display with a class rating, and the Australia banner shows the appearance when a number of taskforces are included. The three Video Games banners demonstrate the new layout; I like to think it is an improvement, not least because the centrelines of each banner will align correctly when a number of them are present on a page, such as [[Talk:Mohammed]].

:::: How about having the WP Name (and task forces aligned to the left) and then have the classes aligned to the right next to the show button (eg: Rated: C [Show]).

:Not quite. On Firefox 3, there is a slightly annoying thing where the project name and class move slightly when showing/hiding their nested forms. [[User:Msgj|Martin]]^{[[User talk:Msgj|msgj]]} 23:51, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

:: Thats from the [Show/Hide] changing, since they are different lengths it increases the width of the box so the center dynamically changes so it contents will also slightly change as well.

:::Indeed, this affects all show/hide buttons now (it was that or keep wasting a quarter of the width of the banner ''on each side'' with a fixed-width box); I don't think it's possible to prevent this except by putting "show/hide" into a monospace font, which is likely to make big waves... <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 11:20, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

== Extension of B-checklist ==

At present, if a banner has <code>B_CHECKLIST = yes</code> set, it is impossible to assess an article as B-class without consciously filling in the checklist of [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria|B-class criteria]]. On the other hand, it is still possible to assess the article at A-class: this seems slightly illogical to me! Could we have a system where all the higher classes (GA, A, FA and perhaps FL as well) require such a conscious step for those projects which have chosen to implement the criteria function? Or, to ask the real question, would that screw things up too much for too many projects if I just propose it here?! [[User:Physchim62|Physchim62]] [[User talk:Physchim62|(talk)]] 12:52, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

:Interesting suggestion, but I think I don't agree. Obviously we would hope and expect GA-, A- and FA- class articles to meet B-class standards (although actually for the first case it is not clear whether it is the case). However each of these classes has its own review process (i.e. WP:GAN, Wikiproject A-class review, WP:FAC). Therefore it is unlikely that the B-class checklist would be of any use to someone assessing the article for one of these higher classes. And yes, it would screw things up for other projects as a lot of featured articles would be reclassified as start-class if we did this (not good!)

::That's what imagined – that it wasn't simple and non-controversial enough to be done simply by changing the meta-template! The coding change is pretty simple, but the political implications aren't… I shall raise the matter in more appropriate fora.

:::Bus since there is an A-class hook, what if the parameter <code>A-class=yes</code> was required for an A-class Assessment. - [[User:Trevor MacInnis|Trevor]] [[User talk:Trevor MacInnis|MacInnis]] <small>([[Special:Contributions/Trevor MacInnis|Contribs]])</small> 04:18, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

::::That would be nice for me, yes, so long as it doesn't screw up anyone else's assessment schemes. I think <code>CHECK_B_FOR_A</code> would be a better parameter name, just in case someone decides to implement an A-class checklist as well.

:::::MilHist have an A-Class assessment checklist, I think. I know I copied someone's into the code for {{tl|Comicsproj}}. [[User:Hiding|Hiding]] <small>[[User talk:Hiding|T]] </small> 13:13, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

(note: I am a [[WP:MHCOORD|coord]] at MILHIST) - MILHIST removes the B-class checklist when an article passes GA, A, FA or FL, as we feel that it is redundant (although there have been a few discussions about the value of GA and if a MILHIST B is higher or equal to it).<br>

MILHIST does not have an A-class checklist for its template, but we ''do'' have [[WP:MH/A]]. Articles passing an A-class nomination must pass those 5 criteria. (FAQ page is [[WP:MH/A?|here]] for the interested) —'''<font face="Script MT Bold">[[User:the_ed17|<font color="800000">Ed <font color="00008B">17]] ^{<small>[[User talk:the_ed17|<font color="800000">(Talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/the_ed17|<font color="800000">Contribs)]]</small>}</font></font face>''' 22:21, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

*Hmm. I copied it from someone's template, so maybe it is in India's, Australia's, Film's or Africa's. I think those are the ones I've <s>stolen</s> borrowed from. [[User:Hiding|Hiding]] <small>[[User talk:Hiding|T]] </small> 10:59, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
