new implementation of WikiProject banner nesting

Recent code updates have made it possible to significantly improve the handling of WikiProject banner nesting, deprecating the |nested=yes system. See Template talk:WikiProjectBannerShell#New implementation of WikiProject banners for more details. Happy‑melon 19:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Template:WikiProject Food and drink

Template:WikiProject Food and drink is expanding oddly at Talk:Candy pumpkin in that it takes up about six inches, most of which lacks text. If you have some free time, please take a look. Thanks. -- Suntag ☼ 21:00, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

What browser, etc etc etc etc? Happy‑melon 08:50, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I tested that page, and it seems fine in all three of my browsers. The hide/show button inside the food and drink box works as it should for me and causes no empty space.

Suntag: Have you tried to purge the page and bypass your browser cache? Since someone might have fixed the error since you saw it, since we don't see it.

And as Happy-melon said: If you still see the problem, then you need to tell a lot more about what browser, plug-ins, user-scripts, gadgets, operating system, screen resolution and so on you are using.

I just checked this and its the same for me. Windows Vista, IE 7.0.6001.18000, 1440x900 pixels, I've done everything possible to clear my cache, my gadgets include HotCat, reftools, The JavaScript Standard Library, a compatibility library for browsers that lack full support for JavaScript 1.6. This includes Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari., using the Monobook skin. My subpages include Huggle.css, [[User:Stepshep/monobook.css|Lupin settings in my monobook.css], and in my monobook.js a code that transforms sigs to date time format, extra edit buttons, both the Lupin scripts, something for WP:US, rollback summary, pyrospirit metadata, watchlist notifier, toolbox for article stats and DOI adder, and extended use tabs. Screenshot coming. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 22:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I can confirm the problem on my end, using IE7. Operating system and display size is irrelevant (I'm using WinXP, 1280x1024). Clearing cache, logging on and off, etc. doesn't fix the problem. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:59, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to note this started happening to me when this template was converted to the new ombox tmbox stuff. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 01:26, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey, it seems to be working there! §hep • ¡Talk to me! 00:59, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

They're back

Not sure how long this has been going on for but at Template:OH-Project, the box that says we're missing categories is back. I have the subpage that is supposed to make that not appear in palce. Any ideas? §hep • ¡Talk to me! 18:19, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

NA-Class was recently included as the 'catch-all' option on the 'short scale', so it became a compulsory category for the short scale. If, as OH-project is, the long scale is used, NA shouldn't be required; I've corected the parser functions to correct this, so  Fixed Happy‑melon 00:13, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Case sensitivity

Is there anyway to allow for an uppercase Y in the =yes part of the code? For example, the first banner here has England=yes and the second has England=Yes, not showing the sub-project banner.

—Borgarde^talk 08:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, |tf 3={{lc:{{{England|{{{england|}}}}}}}}. —Ms2ger (talk) 14:17, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

That allows for "England" or "england" but not "Yes" or "yes", though doesn't it? Paulbrock (talk) 22:23, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

The "E" and "e" are already supported, will that allow for the "Y"es and "y"es? —Borgarde^talk 02:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Sweet, that works. I tested in in the sandbox, I will update the code shortly. Thanks Ms2ger. —Borgarde^talk 02:51, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah I see, the key is the lc which converts the parameter value to lower case I guess... all a bit beyond my simple coding. Paulbrock (talk) 03:38, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Can the colour of the banner be altered?

Is it possible for me to change the vanilla-like colour of the banner for the purposes of 'my' Wikiproject, or do they all have to be the same? And if I can, what code etc do I use to do it? Sticky Parkin 20:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, the talk page message box styles were standardised in 2005. See the guideline Wikipedia:Talk page templates. And that style has several times since then been re-confirmed in several big discussions. So, since it makes me curios: Why do you want to deviate from the standard colours?
