If someone fills in |TF_n_XYZ= (e.g. |TF_n_QUALITY=), would it be sensible to automatically trigger |tf_n=? I feel as though if you're assigning a taskforce quality rating, that it's safe to presume that taskforce should be activated. This would be particularly helpful for the WP:RATER tool. Since any text in |tf_n= will activate the section, the template could just include the nested parameters:
|TF_n_QUALITY= is set at the project template, but the |tf_n= is set at each article. The quality is just inherited from the main quality rating of that article; it is not specified for each task force. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:44, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

Ah, I understand your point now. Typically the only taskforce parameter that is set at the article level is the importance. So you are saying that if |biophysics-imp= is set to any value, then we should assume that |biophysics=yes? That would be fairly simple to implement. Are there any possible side effects of doing this? What if |biophysics-imp=cheesecake, i.e. an unrecognised value - should that trigger the taskforce as well? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:38, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
On this matter, I occasionally see a parameter pair compressed into a single one. Take for instance Talk:László Szőcs - here, the {{WikiProject Football}} has |variants=mid which is not-quite invalid - it is treated as if it were |variants=yes but I suspect that the intention was |variants=yes|variants-importance=mid. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:51, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
I've not need that before, but it is efficient. Currently this is not recognised by the template, but it might be logical to make the taskforce importance default to the value of the taskforce activiation parameter? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 06:18, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

Done no other comments so I have made the change. If the alignment change is worrying anyone we can revert/discuss — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:16, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
Detecting conflicts in class values
Latest comment: 5 years ago5 comments3 people in discussion
Is there a way to identify conflicts between a page's assigned class value and what would otherwise be automatically detected? E.g., a redirect or a page in the Category namespace tagged as stub-class. --Paul_012 (talk) 23:58, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
Thanks. It's not needed so much that I'd ask for an actual implementation; just something that I thought would be nice to have. --Paul_012 (talk) 14:54, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
We've only used automatic detection of a page's class value if no class is defined. (If the class is defined then this will always be used.) I think this is the right approach in general, but any project can change this default behaviour by using a custom class mask. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:03, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
@MSGJ: There probably are a few other cases where it might be useful to do automatic detection. For example, if an article is in mainspace but is tagged as "Draft class", it certainly means that whoever moved it to mainspace forgot to remove that it was a draft, and it should be treated as if the class were left undefined. --Ahecht (TALK PAGE) 21:30, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
