Further problems with {{Astronomy}}

When placed in {{WPBS}} only the class is shown (importance is left out)

This non-existent page does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
It is of interest to the following WikiProjects:

Please add the quality rating to the {{WikiProject banner shell}} template instead of this project banner. See WP:PIQA for details.

What gives? Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 21:37, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Because you are using a custom importance scale. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:40, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

The other issue is that you shouldn't be using importance with a capital I. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Well there should be a way recognized importance when the custom hooks (whatever hooks are) are used. It's only adding "no" and "bottom". I could write some proto-code, but I cease to be able to understand the metabanner whenever the word hook is involved. Headbomb {^ταλκ_{κοντριβς} – WP Physics} 02:29, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

As always, the functionality that goes into the meta banner is a balance between providing functions that are useful to a lot of banners without adding too much complexity for the sake of a few banners. It was decided in this case that implementing "native" support for custom importance scales was not justified because

there are relatively few projects which use a different importance scale, and
it is fairly easy to add the functionality using a hook (alas without the nested importance feature).

On reflection I still think this decision is right. The astronomy banner is not broken in any way, it just lacks a feature which is available to projects using the standard importance scale. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:49, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Nested banners get the class rating from custom masks, right? Presumably it's not as straightforward for custom importance... ? PC78 (talk) 10:41, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

It wouldn't take too much to add a HOOK_IMPORTANCE_NESTED hook though. (Similar to HOOK_NESTED for taskforces.) -- WOSlinker (talk) 12:50, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Category:WikiProject banners with formatting errors

Does anyone know how to remove /monobook.js pages from this category?

Also, does anyone know what's going on with {{WPBiography}} at Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians/Infobox? PC78 (talk) 01:50, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Something odd with the bullet points. Works if I remove them. -- WOSlinker (talk) 07:03, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Fixed the monobooks. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:05, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
