::Ok, this worked on the article itself, but for some reason none of the articles are updating the categories. For example, if you go to [[Talk:Economics]], which shows [[:Category:B-Class, Top-priority Economics articles]] at the bottom, but when you click it, it is not in that category. It's still in the [[:Category:B-Class, Top-importance Economics articles]]. I've waited approx 24 hours, thinking maybe a bot would move it, but nothing has changed. They only seem to move if someone edits the talk page of the article.

== Notes with no text ==
 
{{twomanrule}} [[Template:WPBannerMeta/note/sandbox|/note/sandbox]] -> [[Template:WPBannerMeta/note|/note]]
Using notes without text is a really useful way to add support for conditional categories without using unnecessarily complicated things like [[Template:WPBannerMeta/hooks/cats|/hooks/cats]]. At the moment, it produces some vertical space. This will fix this. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 00:00, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

One of the supposed improvements to /collapsed was that the text indentation would be consistent (it now uses IMAGE_LEFT_SIZE). However, when I put a ruler on my monitor, it seems to be a pixel or two out. I assume this is because the inner table has some padding. Is there a hack for this that will work on all browsers? If not it doesn't matter because it's pretty hard to tell they're not aligned. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 10:14, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 
== Auto creation of "Foo" articles by quality error ==
 
When the template creates "Foo" articles by quality, it uses {{tl|catmore1}}, but that template requires the page name to be surrounded by double square brackets to make a link, and when it creates the fill-in, the double square brackets are not there, so many times I've seen a dead link for the catmore line on those Foo articles by category categories. Is there a way to fix this? --[[User:Funandtrvl|Funandtrvl]] ([[User talk:Funandtrvl|talk]]) 07:02, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
:Not quite sure what you mean. It's [[Template:WPBannerMeta/templatepage/qualheader]] which passes the square brackets to catmore1. Can you give an example of it not working? &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 07:58, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Yes, when you click on a red-linked category, like: [[:Category:Travel and Tourism articles by quality]], then the following code displays, note the first line, it doesn't display the double "[" and "]" brackets after the pipe link:
<pre>
{{catmore1|Wikipedia:WikiProject **PROJECT**}}
[[Category:WikiProject **PROJECT**]]
[[Category:Wikipedia 1.0 assessments]]
</pre>
::Is there a way to make it display like below, so the 'catmore' template will actually work and not just be a dead link that is in bold text? (I've seen many instances where editors just filled in the "Project" word & didn't realize it needed double brackets or else it would be a dead link):
<pre>
{{catmore1|[[Wikipedia:WikiProject **PROJECT**]]}}<!-- NOTE THE DOUBLE '[' BRACKETS -->
</pre> --[[User:Funandtrvl|Funandtrvl]] ([[User talk:Funandtrvl|talk]]) 08:20, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
::Another note, you need to click the red-linked T & T articles by quality cat from this page: [[Template:TourismProject/sandbox]] --[[User:Funandtrvl|Funandtrvl]] ([[User talk:Funandtrvl|talk]]) 08:23, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
