Automatic |tf_n=yes based on |TF_n_XYZ?

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={{yesno|{{{tf 4|{{{TF_n_LINK|{{{TF_n_NAME|{{{TF_n_NESTED|{{{TF_n_IMAGE|{{{TF_n_TEXT|{{{TF_n_QUALITY|{{{TF_n_MAIN_CAT|¬}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}|yes|¬=¬}}

Thoughts? T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 12:24, 1 May 2020 (UTC)

|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)

@Evolution and evolvability: just wondering if my answer made any sense? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:10, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

@MSGJ:. Woops, I meant to use Template:TF n IMP rather than |TF_n_QUALITY= as the example. Because currently, if Template:TF n isn't filled in, the template will ignore Template:TF n IMP. The template I'm working on is {{WikiProject_Molecular_Biology}}.

Example: {{WikiProject Molecular Biology |class=Stub |importance=Low |RNA-imp=high |MCB-imp=low}} returns:

Molecular Biology Stub‑class Low‑importance

So the query is more about whether we can automatically assume |TF_n= is yes if any of the |TF_n_XYZ= parameters are filled. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)^talk 12:26, 5 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)
