Padding

User:PC78 reports that Template:WikiProject Korea/sandbox looks like this on his/her browser (Internet Explorer):

I thought this padding issue had been resolved? Martin 00:09, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Me too, but then again I use a proper browser :D.  Fixed Happy‑melon 11:23, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Looks better. Cheers! PC78 (talk) 12:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject Merseyside

I've attemted a conversion of this project's banner at Template:WikiProject Merseyside/sandbox. It all looks good to me, but can someone more familiar with the meta cast an eye over it? I'd like to be sure before I switch the code over, and avoid any potential screw-ups. Thanks in advance! Small-town hero (talk) 22:17, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Looks pretty good! But the colour of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Merseyside/Collaboration link suggests to me that you are not using this collaboration of the month thing, so maybe these should be fixed or removed? Ditto for Wikipedia:WikiProject Merseyside/Merging. As you are using so many of the extended quality classes, I might suggest that it would be simpler to use them all and do away with the custom class that you have created. Regards, Martin 23:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I dunno, I'd prefer to keep things as they are in the current template - they can always be dealt with later. This is still a relatively new WikiProject after all. :) Since everything seems to be in order I'm going to go ahead with the switch. Cheers! Small-town hero (talk) 01:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

There's a little bit of a difference with the border on the left when comparing the WPBannerMeta and Tmbox template. Should a bigger left border be added to WPBannerMeta? -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:20, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't think the border should be bigger necessarily. But perhaps it ought to be the same as the border on the right, which it currently isn't (on my browser anyway). Martin 16:16, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

The main difference is that the quality/importance rows have backgrounds that fill the entire cell; IMO it looks a bit wierd having a huge border between them and the banner border. I agree that the right image should have the same padding as the left image, I'll have a look at that. Happy‑melon 16:38, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I synchronised the padding left and right. What do people think about it overall? Happy‑melon 18:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Looks better now that left & right match. Not too bothered about matching with tmbox. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:22, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Infobox parameter

So far as I can tell, the infobox parameter will always display the following text:

This page has been marked as needing an infobox.

Is it possible to have it use "article" instead of "page" where appropriate (to make it consistant with other uses of article/page/whatever in the banner)? Also, would it be possible to define custom text and even images for this parameter? This could be useful for a WikiProject to link to a specific template or page, for example. PC78 (talk) 02:11, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

It looks like there are two occurences of {{ns:0}} in WPBannerMeta/core that need changing to {{ns:1}} to fix the article/page issue. If you want to use more options for the infobox then there is always the option to use the note 1 parameters instead.

|note 1 = {{{needs-infobox|}}}
 |NOTE_1_TEXT     = This {{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}}|{{ns:0}}=article|page}} has been marked as needing an [[Template:Tulip Infobox|infobox]].
 |NOTE_1_IMAGE    = Nuvola apps arts.png
 |NOTE_1_CAT      = Tulip articles needing infoboxes. 

-- WOSlinker (talk) 10:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

What if notes 1-5 are already used? Is it possible to specify more? PC78 (talk) 13:17, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

There's a |HOOK_NOTE= parameter which can be used to add further notes. See example below: -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:44, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

{{WPBannerMeta
|PROJECT          = Tulips
 |small  = {{{small|}}}
 |category={{{category|¬}}}
 |listas = {{{listas|}}}
|note 1 = {{{audio-file|}}}
 |NOTE_1_TEXT     = An audio file has been created of this article.
 |NOTE_1_IMAGE    = Nuvola apps arts.png
 |NOTE_1_CAT      = Tulip articles with audio files
|note 5 = {{{infobox|}}}
 |NOTE_5_TEXT     = An infobox needs to be added to this article.
 |NOTE_5_IMAGE    = Diamond-caution.svg
 |NOTE_5_CAT      = Tulip articles without infoboxes
|HOOK_NOTE={{WPBannerMeta/hooks/notes
 |category={{{category|μ}}}
 |note 1={{{navbox|}}}
  |NOTE_1_TEXT          = An navbox needs to be added to this article.
  |NOTE_1_IMAGE         = Diamond-caution.svg
  |NOTE_1_CAT           = Tulip articles without navboxes
 |note 5={{{otherbox|}}}
  |NOTE_5_TEXT          = An otherbox needs to be added to this article.
  |NOTE_5_IMAGE         = Diamond-caution.svg
  |NOTE_5_CAT           = Tulip articles without otherboxes
 }}
}}

Gotcha. Cheers! PC78 (talk) 17:35, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Another article/page issue

Could the WPBannerMeta/importancescale be altered so that "This article has been" is changed to "This {{#if:{{SUBJECTSPACE}}|page|article}} has been", so that it matches WPBannerMeta/qualityscale. Thanks. -- WOSlinker (talk) 12:47, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

 Done Happy‑melon 17:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

A couple of things...

1. Could the text for NA quality be changed to "This page is not an article and does not require a rating on the quality scale.", as per other non-article classes and NA importance? This would be useful where NA-Class is used in the article space in lieu of Disambig-Class or Redirect-Class.
2. When NA quality is used in the article space, the forced comment message is suppressed. Would it be possible/desirable to suppress the forced message for other non-standard quality grades as well?

Cheers! PC78 (talk) 17:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Point 1 has now been fixed I believe. I don't quite understand point 2: what do you mean by "forced comment message"? Martin 18:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

The "please leave comments here..." message that appears if no comments exist and |COMMENT_FORCE= is set. Now disabled for Redirects and Disambigs. Any others? Happy‑melon 18:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that. PC78 (talk) 19:11, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
