Blue box[edit]

Why does using this template render the blue box, even after filling the "image has rationale" field with yes? The same isn't so for Template:Non-free movie poster. Kailash29792 (talk) 05:22, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Link to film poster[edit]

@JJMC89 Would you be able to update the {{Non-free poster}} to accept in a param so that the link could be modified, in this case to film poster, as that would serve better for this template? Thanks! — DaxServer (t · m · c) 04:49, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a named param like |poster_link=film poster? — DaxServer (t · m · c) 04:50, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Categorize?[edit]

Is it deliberately made to not categorize files using this template? By sampling Category:Fair use images of film posters, most files here are either using {{non-free poster|image has rationale=yes|Fair use images of film posters}} (some without the rationale param) or [[Category:Fair use images of film posters]] which shouldn't be the case. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 04:21, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Category:Fair use images of film posters is rather very large category. Dispersing them into subcategories by language, country, genre would be useful. I think that's the rationale. If just {{non-free poster|image has rationale=yes}} is used, with or without rationale, they are automatically categorized into the Category:Fair use images of film posters. So, I'd say, adding that in the non-free poster template is redundant and adding the category normally is also redundant as we have more fine-grained subcats — DaxServer (t · m · c) 07:37, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request 24 November 2023[edit]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Description of suggested change: Change default to include category. Makes no sense to have a nil default value, param can be set to no when the poster is in a better category.

Diff: {{#ifeq: {{{Yesno-no|{{{nocat|}}}}}} | no | {{File other | [[Category:{{Resolve category redirect|{{{1|Fair use images of film posters}}}}}]] }}}} to {{#ifeq: {{{Yesno-no|{{{nocat|}}}}}} | yes | |{{File other | [[Category:{{Resolve category redirect|{{{1|Fair use images of film posters}}}}}]] }}}} --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 11:04, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not done This request was previously contested above. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 16:16, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just a question. Where can I get a consensus for this? --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 01:53, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Fair use images of film posters[edit]

It seems this isn't being automatically being added by the template, as it should? Is this due to the speedy renaming request, or some other reason? InfiniteNexus (talk) 08:02, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@InfiniteNexus: See above. @DaxServer: pinging for comment. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 08:42, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When was this functionality removed? Please restore it, and then start a discussion to propose its removal. The category has always been automatically added to Category:Non-free images of film posters until recently. This is explicitly noted at the top of the category page. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:46, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this BOLD edit needs to be reverted ASAP. There is no point to manually add the category. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:49, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Pppery: You wrote in the section above that the request was contested, but in actuality, it was a (fairly) recent BOLD change by the contesting editor that was done unilaterally and inappropriately. Since there is opposition, please revert their edit. InfiniteNexus (talk) 00:51, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like that bold edit contained a syntax error that was preventing categorization from happening at all when that wasn't the author's intent, and neither DaxServer nor Minorax nor I noticed for 18 months (!). I've fixed the syntax error, which should mean categories start working properly. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 04:17, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I see the category is once again showing on film poster files. I was confused by DaxServer's reply to Minorax's question about why the category wasn't being added automatically; turns out it was a misunderstanding. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:31, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
