:Of course. Is this a to-do list or something? &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 19:01, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

::No just on an individual article basis. My "needs references" was just an example of what I could type in. Basically having notes="blah blah blah" as a parameter would make "blah blah blah" appear in the template. Sorry if I'm confusing, I don't even know how to word something like this. I don't want a predetermined list of notes to call upon, but rather the ability to add a note individually to each article (if that makes sense) - '''[[User:Floydian|<font color="#5A5AC5">ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ</font>]]''' ^{[[User_talk:Floydian|<font color="#3AAA3A">τ</font>]]} _{[[Special:Contributions/Floydian|<font color="#3AAA3A">¢</font>]]} 19:43, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

:::I'm guess, looking at your contributions, that you are talking about the progressive rock template? I've put some possible code in the [[Template:Progressive Rock/sandbox|template sandbox]]. So for example <nowiki>{{WikiProject Progressive Rock|class=C|note=needs references}}</nowiki> would produce:

{{Progressive Rock/sandbox|class=C|note=needs references|category=no}}

:::Is this what you had in mind? If not you might be able to work out how to tweak the code. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 19:52, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

:::: In fact, things are pretty consistent... they use capitalization to refer to the classifications as proper nouns. Not sure the change is even worth all the work that would accompany it, so I'm edging it on not doing it.

:::::The change is very easy. I will just change some "C"s to "c". As I said, I am ''not'' proposing to rename any categories; that would indeed be a lot of work. The inconsistency is between the capital C for Class and the little i for importance. Thus we have things like

{{WikiProjectBannerShell|{{WPCHICAGOWikiProject Chicago|category=no|importance=mid|class=stub}}}}

:::::and there is no reason the two should not be capitalised the same. &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 17:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::Here's my problem: I'm all for switching to a lower-case "c", but not if it's just going to be a mere cosmetic change implemented here only. I would expect the categories to be dealt with as well, otherwise you're just trading one inconsistancy for another. [[User:PC78|PC78]] ([[User talk:PC78|talk]]) 17:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

:I'd suggest continuing to use "auto=yes" for the first issue. There are so many "Automatically assessed articles" that have auto=yes that it will likely never be fully converted to the new method. However, if this isn't preferable, auto=stub-inherit or something could be used. –<font face="verdana" color="black">[[user:xeno|'''xeno''']]</font>[[user talk:xeno|<font color="black">^talk</font>]] 11:47, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

::Why not continue to use banner notes locally for the time being? I would recommend using the class and only displaying when that class equals the current class (as you suggested). And for future-protection you could continue to use {{para|inherited}} for this purpose. (It would be easy to use {{para|auto|<nowiki>{{{autoWikiProject Automobiles|{{{inherited|}}}}}}</nowiki>}} on relevant banner templates if it was decided later to combine the two parameters ... &mdash;&nbsp;Martin <small>([[User:MSGJ|MSGJ]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:MSGJ|talk]])</small> 12:07, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

:::I think you guys are overthinking things. There are any number of ways that a bot could auto assess an article, so rather than trying to cater for them all it would (IMO) be better to keep the wording for {{para|auto}} generic so that it fits any given situation. "This article was assessed automatically by a bot" is all you really need to say; if necessary, any specifics can be outlined more fully at [[WP:AUTOASSESS]]. That's what I was going for at {{tl|Film}}, anyway. [[User:PC78|PC78]] ([[User talk:PC78|talk]]) 16:44, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

::::I can keep using notes, it's no problem. But I'm getting mixed messages here, someone suggested [[Template talk:WPBannerMeta/Archive 7#need change in auto= verbiage|last time]] to keep it all in the "auto" param =) –<font face="verdana" color="black">[[user:xeno|'''xeno''']]</font>[[user talk:xeno|<font color="black">^talk</font>]] 17:13, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
