In {{tl|WikiProject United States}} a couple of the WikiProject icons (namely library of congress and United States Government) have icons that are smaller than the others. I would like to manually resize them to make them slightly bigger and easier to read. Is this possible to do and if so how do I do that?--[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 18:09, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:{{Done}} Nevermind its fixed now thanks. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 19:03, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
== FM class ==
 
There was a recent discussion about creating a FM (Featured Media) class at [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#A new class for Featured media]]. This has now been done. What is still being discussed is adding FM to the extended class list by default. Anyone with comments about this should make them over on the [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)#A new class for Featured media|Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)]] page rather than here though. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 22:04, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
: Are there any instructions as to how to enable {{tl|FM-Class}} in individual WikiProject banners? [[User:Titoxd|Tito<span style="color:#008000;">xd</span>]]<sup>([[User talk:Titoxd|?!?]] - [[WP:FAC|cool stuff]])</sup> 02:59, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
::There are still a couple of key files that need to be modified before it will work properly. I added 2 to the discussion because I don't have the ability to edit protected templates. Once these are updated I think it will work. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 03:09, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
::Yes, [[Template:Class mask/doc]] contains this information, although it could perhaps be clearer. ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:WikiProject_United_States/class&diff=433017261&oldid=420087087 Example].) I would argue against including it in the extended scale, until we see how widely this new class is adopted. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 11:37, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 
=== Class issue ===
 
[[:Template:WikiProject_Turtles/class]] is empty and the template uses the extended class set. However, if you put |class=fm into the banner it comes up as NA class. Is there anything that I need to do to fix this? Is there any way to include this as a standard class so we don't need to add fm to the custom class list project by project? cheers --[[User:Guerillero|Guerillero]] &#124; [[User_talk:Guerillero|<font color="green">My Talk</font>]] 04:55, 8 June 2011 (UTC)--[[User:Guerillero|Guerillero]] &#124; [[User_talk:Guerillero|<font color="green">My Talk</font>]] 04:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
:Currently, the only way to use FM-class is to set up a custom class mask at the /class subpage. There was a suggestion above that this new class be included in the "extended scale" set but this has not been done yet. The problems with retrospectively adding a class to a set are:
:*Suddenly there are a huge number of categories which need creating.
:*In addition, every project using this set will get a big warning box on their banner template, telling them that a category needs to be created.
:*You are imposing a class on many projects that may not necessarily want it.

::Where would it be best to get a consensus to add this to the extended list of classes --[[User:Guerillero|Guerillero]] &#124; [[User_talk:Guerillero|<font color="green">My Talk</font>]] 19:40, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
:::We can still add it to the turtles project without adding it to the extended classes if you are interested in doing that. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 20:00, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
::::Yes please. I would but I don't know all the needed formatting. --[[User:Guerillero|Guerillero]] &#124; [[User_talk:Guerillero|<font color="green">My Talk</font>]] 21:09, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
* I think there should be a step-by-step guide somewhere that tells users how to use FM-Class, even if their banner does not use a custom class mask, to avoid a string of similar question popping up in the future.

:Your right of course. I fixed the WPTurtles one so that should be working now. --[[User:Kumioko|Kumioko]] ([[User talk:Kumioko|talk]]) 23:52, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 
== [[Template:WikiProject Animation]] ==
 
Hi, I have worked at [[Template:WikiProject Animation]] myself many times before someone is protected by admin, including the 6 B-Class checklist like WikiProject Anime and manga and WikiProject Horror. Yes, I have worked at the WikiProject Animation banner too much, and added some work groups back in November though March since many of the Animation related WikiProjects have gone inactive like WikiProject American Animation, WikiProject Warner Bros. Animation and WikiProject Cartoon Network which went inactive, and I've converted into work groups of [[WP:ANIMATION]]. I am not really happy about the indefinite protection of the template, and I should have been an admin myself. Recently, I have added the A-Class parameter, and added new work groups including Cartoon Network and Hanna-Barbera. I have a sandbox at my [[User:Jj98/Template:WikiProject Animation|user page]] which I had been working myself to ensure it is working correctly.
