Template:Maintained

Discussion

I was about to suggest the same idea. Did you propose this template somewhere just to advertise these it? 16@r (talk) 23:35, 19 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'd wanted to do something like this for a while, but I asked at WT:COUNCIL first to check that it hadn't already been done. When the response was negative, I cooked this up - it's a shamless plagiarism from the Tulips example at WP:COUNCIL, along with bits pinched from WP:AFRICA, WP:BALLET and various other places.

Eek. I'm not sure where, but somewhere near the beginning of this a "br" is generated when this is used in WPBannerShell. To see what I mean, take a look at Talk:Sun Ra. From what I can tell, the namespace code at the beginning is causing that line. Perhaps a <--(newline)--> between that an the table? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 21:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Tighter categorisation

Hi,

I've just spent a little while improving the Geology template so it creates more specific categories: for example, "High-importance Stub-class geology articles". When you changed the template to the new "universal" format, these changes were lost. I think the idea of having a centrally maintained template such as this one is truly excellent, and wonder whether my coding could be incorporated into it? You should find it simple enough to see what I've done.

Best,

B-Class criteria

I can't find it so I though I'd ask. Is there a way to include the B-class article checklist? If not, that's fine and I'll code it into the old project template we used to use. Thanks! §hep¡Talk to me! 22:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

There currently isn't anything hard-coded into the banner, although there are numerous places where you can 'hang' extra code as required (|BOTTOM_TEXT= and |COLLAPSED_TEXT= are good ones). How standardised are the B-class assessments between wikiprojects? If they are almost universal, I could work something into the banner; but if the assessments are customised for each project, then it wouldn't be worth it. Happymelon 10:29, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
According to the 1.0 Team

Commonly the highest article grade that is assigned outside a more formal review process. Has several of the elements described in "start", usually a majority of the material needed for a comprehensive article. Nonetheless, it has some gaps or missing elements or references, needs editing for language usage or clarity, balance of content, or contains other policy problems such as copyright, Neutral Point Of View (NPOV) or No Original Research (NOR). With NPOV a well written B-class may correspond to the "Wikipedia 0.5" or "usable" standard. Articles that are close to GA status but don't meet the Good article criteria should be B- or Start-class articles.

Following that the MILHIS banner seems to have the coding that does the trick. | This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-Class status:

  1.   Referencing and citation: not checked
  2.   Coverage and accuracy: not checked
  3.   Structure: not checked
  4.   Grammar: not checked
  5.   Supporting materials: not checked

|#default=}}

That looks fairly similar to the criteria set forth by WP:1. It would be nice to have it set up though, so if the article was above B-Class the checklist wouldn't appear. What do you think? §hep¡Talk to me! 20:31, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
