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

As I said, implementing a checklist like that would be relatively easy, as would the trick you suggest. The question is, how widely would it be used? Remember that any addition made to the metatemplate increases the code size for all projects using the banner, on all pages where a banner based on it appears. It's only worth adding if the majority of projects which do B-class checklists use exactly this set of criteria, in that precise order, etc etc. How widespread is this system? Happymelon 20:38, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
I honestly don't have a clue. Would you mind putting a checklist on Template:OH-Project; I can't figure it out how to make it just appear on articles that are rated B and below with the Meta syntax. Thanks. §hep¡Talk to me! 20:49, 7 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Help

Template:Ottawaproject and Template:WikiProject Toronto, both of which use this template, have spontaneously dropped the word "article" from their categories -- they are now categorising into "Stub-Class Toronto", "Mid-importance Ottawa" etc.. whereas a few days ago it was "Stub-Class Toronto articles", "Mid-importance Ottawa articles". Could someone please take a look? --Padraic 11:59, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks! They also don't seem to be indexed by the bot -- any thoughts on that? --Padraic 12:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

List as

It seems that many templates have been written to override listas parameters. Thus, when I look at a category like Category:GA-Class Chicago articles all the names are in the wrong places. Is there a reason for this? Please drop a note on my talk page when you respond to this.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 00:59, 30 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

WikiProject Auckland
WikiProject Auckland aims to improve articles relating to the Auckland urban area. Feel free to contribute to any articles relating to this WikiProject and add your name to our list of participants.

  Scope

This project aims to:

  • Improve articles related to the Auckland urban area and the wider Auckland Region.
  • Support Auckland-related articles by ensuring that there are plenty of high-quality articles to showcase.
  • Ensure that articles are well organised, through the use of categories, and that due attention is paid to the farther reaches of the project.
  • Highlight articles about Auckland that many readers might be unaware of.
  • Oversee the development of Auckland-related articles - for example, through the Collaboration of the fortnight.
  • Provide a clear structure of how Auckland articles are arranged.
  • Coordinate efforts and peer review articles.

  Tasks

Moving the project forward

  • Add links to Auckland articles and related pages – expand this in any way you see fit.
  • Tag Auckland-related articles, and assess content/importance.
  • Add to this list if you have further ideas.

Please place requests for images below.



  Commendation material

The following Auckland-related articles are Featured articles and Good articles on WikiProject Auckland and / or appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page.

  • Featured Articles -- (FA)  
  • Good Articles -- (GA)  


  Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the fortnight, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced. You can also add any articles to be worked on in the To-Do Section of the project.
