OK, I went ahead and did the appropriate changes to the Christianity WikiProject banner to allow for FM class, but when I have done a few assessments with it for FM class, and added the parameters for some of the subprojects, they only come up as being "File" class for the subprojects. Any idea where I screwed up in adjusting the banner, because I fairly obviously did somewhere? [[User:John Carter|John Carter]] ([[User talk:John Carter|talk]]) 00:10, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
:Just needed to do set it for the taskforce templates as well. See [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:WikiProject_Christianity&diff=506685447&oldid=506600383 this]. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 06:42, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
== This is the most confusing template ever, I need someone smart ==
 
Does anyone have a clue as to a way to add [[:Category:Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify]] (dated) and [[:Category:All articles covered by WikiProject Wikify]] to all articles tagged as needing an infobox? This would be in addition to the current default and the WikiProject categories. {{tlx|DMCA|Articles covered by WikiProject Wikify|from|{{{date|}}}|All articles covered by WikiProject Wikify}} would work, it's just a matter of where to put it so it is only enabled if the page needs an infobox and doesn't get overriden. [[User:Ryan Vesey|'''''Ryan''''']] [[User talk:Ryan Vesey|'''''Vesey''''']] 15:19, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
:I guess this is follow-up to [[WP:VPT#WPBannerMeta categorization]]. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 17:59, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
::Here's something in the [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:WPBannerMeta/core/sandbox&diff=506920145&oldid=506919602 sandbox] to add those two cats. working with dates would need few more changes to WPBannerMeta and also to all of the individual banner templates to pass through the date param as well. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 18:25, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
:::If it's undated, I wouldn't want it to be a part of the non-all category. Is there any reason that the two wikimarkup categories couldn't be replaced with the template I provided? In either situation, we need to hold off for [[User talk:Ryan Vesey#WikiProject Wikify]] to be cleared up before we move forward.&nbsp;[[User:Ryan Vesey|'''''Ryan''''']]&nbsp;[[User talk:Ryan Vesey|'''''Vesey''''']] 18:30, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
::::[//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:WPBannerMeta/core/sandbox&diff=506930484&oldid=506920145 Here it is] using the DMCA template. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 19:41, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
:::::Oh, now I see what you meant by a date parameter. I guess that wouldn't work very well since there isn't a date parameter in the templates. The best solution then is probably to only add the "all" one.&nbsp;[[User:Ryan Vesey|'''''Ryan''''']]&nbsp;[[User talk:Ryan Vesey|'''''Vesey''''']] 19:46, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
 
== Clarification of discussion links ==
 
{{Editprotected|Template:WPBannerMeta/core|ans=yes}}
 
Where a talk page has more than one instance of this template, we end up with two or more, ambiguous <code><nowiki>[[...|discussion]]</nowiki></code> links. Also, the wording suggests that discussion takes place on the project page itself, (not the talk page) I therefore propose, to resolve these issues, that we change:
 
<code><nowiki>|If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the [[{{TALKPAGENAME:{{{PROJECT_LINK}}}}}|discussion]] and see a list of open tasks.</nowiki></code>
 
to:
 
<code><nowiki>|If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can see a list of open tasks; or join the [[{{TALKPAGENAME:{{{PROJECT_LINK}}}}}|{{{PROJECT_NAME}}} discussion]].</nowiki></code>

:I've amended the {{tlx|editprotected}} because the code for this is in {{tlx|WPBannerMeta/core}}, not {{tlx|WPBannerMeta}} - this talk page is shared. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 13:14, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
:In my opinion there is no confusion possible, because of the previous sentence. ''(This article is within the scope of XYZ ...)'' And using {{{PROJECT}}} before discussion would sound unnatural in many cases. In any case, this needs more discussion, so I have disabled the request. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 20:01, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
::It wouldn't be <code>{{{PROJECT}}}</code> alone - when <code>{{{PROJECT_LINK}}}</code> or <code>{{{PROJECT_NAME}}}</code> are unspecified, the code in [[Template:WPBannerMeta]] creates replacements for those as <code>Wikipedia:WikiProject {{{PROJECT}}}</code> or <code>WikiProject {{{PROJECT}}}</code> respectively. Consider {{tlx|WikiProject Albums}}: the message would be <code><nowiki>or join the [[{{TALKPAGENAME:Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums}}|WikiProject Albums discussion]].</nowiki></code> which produces "or join the [[{{TALKPAGENAME:Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums}}|WikiProject Albums discussion]]." --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 21:33, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
:::Okay, I see. In that case it would possibly look okay, so my opposition is reduced. But I still question whether this is needed. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 11:55, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
::Assistive technologies like screen readers used by people who have sight impairment offer the option to read links in isolation.
