It says in the template doc that <nowiki>listas={{{listas|}}}</nowiki> is required for the template to work. I was wondering if this changes means that {{tl|OH-Project}} needs updated to include this? Is this a recent thing? I don't remember it always being required or even existent. <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User:Stepshep|§hep]]</font> • <font color="green" face="Comic Sans MS">[[User talk:Stepshep|¡Talk to me!]]</font> 19:59, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

:This functionality should really be included in all banners, notwithstanding the fact that it is currently broken <tt>:D</tt>. I am waiting on a MediaWiki configuration change ({{bugphab|1655218552}}) to make it possible to use this system efficiently. But there's no reason not to include it. The banner isn't going to explode if you ''don't'' use this feature, but equally it's not going to do any harm if you do. You don't even have to document it if you don't want to encourage its use. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 13:30, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

::If you could include it that'd be great and I'd be more than happy to doc it. I just can't touch the template in its current state...

:The todo should probably be "''fix'' listas functionality", it is currently as you say completely broken. I'm actually waiting for {{bugphab|1655218552}}, which will make the whole issue a hell of a lot easier (we'd just need to remove the sortkeys altogether). The solution you propose would fix the problem, but it would require passing parameters around that will become superfluous in the (hopefully) near future. I can 'fix' it if there's a pressing need for it, but I'm not aware of many projects that actively use this feature at the moment... <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 20:04, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

::No pressing need, although if you moved the <tt><nowiki>{{#if:{{{listas|}}}|{{DEFAULTSORT:{{{listas}}}}} }}</nowiki></tt> bit from core into the main template, there wouldn't be any need to pass listas over to core. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 20:29, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

:::On the contrary, you'd have to pass 'listas', defaulting to <tt><nowiki>{{PAGENAME}}</nowiki></tt>, everywhere you wanted a category, so it could be specified as a sortkey. It would be messy <tt>:D</tt> <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 22:51, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

::::I'm meaning after {{bugphab|1655218552}} is fixed. -- [[User:WOSlinker|WOSlinker]] ([[User talk:WOSlinker|talk]]) 19:05, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

:::::Ah, I see. Then yes, as you say, after the bug is fixed it will be very easy; move the listas code as you say, and remove all the sorkeys from all the subtemplates. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 20:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Line 833:

Hi, could you give us an update to when the listas parameter will work? See: [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#How to add listas sorting to a WPBM banner?]]. Thanks. --[[User:Funandtrvl|Funandtrvl]] ([[User talk:Funandtrvl|talk]]) 21:17, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

:When the developers see fit to fix {{bugphab|1655218552}}, which is really not a particularly difficult thing to implement; someone with shell access just needs to change one line of config and run one maintenance script (although I realise it might be a fairly epic run; it would essentially reset every category sorkey on every Wikimedia wiki). I would encourage people to go vote for that bug if you have a bugzilla account, and to otherwise poke the devs in any way you can. <font color="forestgreen">[[User:Happy-melon|'''Happy''']]</font>‑<font color="darkorange">[[User talk:Happy-melon|'''melon''']]</font> 22:45, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

::Okay, I voted for it at Bugzilla. Anything else we can do? Thanks. --[[User:Funandtrvl|Funandtrvl]] ([[User talk:Funandtrvl|talk]]) 23:08, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
