bulleting
[edit]When we use bulleted lists in the sections, the list shows up bulleted properly for the first section, but subsequent sections are bulleted at the same level of the items on the first list. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums. This is not helpful. -Freekee 03:53, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- I second this, the template is broken. Please see [1] -- intgr 04:16, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
- I tried to fix it, and when I realised how to fix it, I didn't do it, because I realised they want this thing to look like Wikipedia:Community Portal/Opentask. So the answer is, don't use bullets.

- There is absolutely no way that kind of format could ever work with template:todo. Article-specific tasks simply cannot be compressed into one or two words — it often takes a sentence or few, and it's useful to list potential sources as well. -- intgr 16:34, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
- updated template doc's example to reflect this. Tule-hog (talk) 22:14, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Absolutely - There is no readable & straightforward way to handle multiple expand/npov/etc requests in a single line. If there is a simple fix, please implement it or share the details. MrZaiustalk 14:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
- Btw, it also glitches with #s. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Dust_Bowl/to_do&oldid=134825331 - Surely it's related, but just thought I'd point it out. MrZaiustalk 15:11, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
One relatively simple fix that works with the various bullet types is to end each section with {{-}}. When you do, it fixes the issue of the never ending bullets. Here is an example:

Add categorize task
[edit]Categorizing is a pretty major, albeit usually transparent, task for projects. I could probably spend hours just catting and verifying cats. Heck, there is even a project dedicated to that task, Wikipedia:WikiProject Categories. I think it would be useful to add a categorize parameter to the todo template.

- Agree. This template could really use a 'Category' option. For now, 'Other' is the way to go. --Tiger MarcROAR! 05:31, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
Expand link
[edit]I've removed the link from the Expand bit, as that page is now inactive and only kept for historical reference. Regards, :-) Stwalkerster [ talk ] 20:23, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Some suggested updates to the template
[edit]![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
I have a few suggestions for modifications to this template. I have already done them in the sandbox.
- Change the link for assess to Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment.
- Alphabetize the list of parameters
- Added additional parameters for:
- map
- geocoordinates
- Featured Article candidate
- Featured article review
- Good article nominations
- Good article reassessment
- citations
- categories--Kumioko (talk) 05:14, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Looks okay. Perhaps leave this proposal for a few days to see if anyone else has a comment on it? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:43, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Ok thanks, Just for info the reason I added the options for Featured article and Good article candidates and review is because these can also be automated with JL-bot. --Kumioko (talk) 12:58, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- No objections, so done. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:26, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Add a couple more parameters
[edit]![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Could someone please implement the changes I made in the sandbox here?
- I added the following parameters:
- Featured list candidates
- Featured Sound candidates
- unreferenced
- Increased the font size. It was a bit small.
- Italicized the titles to make them stand out from the data
Please let me know if you have any questions. Kumioko (talk) 23:58, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Kumioko. :) I notice that you changed the template from using a bulleted list to using a numbered list. It would seem more natural to me to keep it as a bulleted list, but maybe there's something I've overlooked. Could you elaborate a little on the reason you would like to change the list style? Best — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 14:09, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
- Your probably right actually now that you say that. I think a bulleted list would be better. I'll change it back. Kumioko (talk) 14:12, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
Done — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:01, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 21 May 2013
[edit]![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please modify:
-->{{#if:{{{other<includeonly>|</includeonly>}}}|<li>'''''Other''''': {{{other}}}</li>}}
to
-->{{#if:{{{other<includeonly>|</includeonly>}}}|<li>'''''{{{othertext|Other}}}''''': {{{other}}}</li>}}
to allow the use of customized text for the other field. Thanks. Nathan Johnson (talk) 18:41, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Okay, seems uncontroversial.
Done. Please could you update the documentation? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:20, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks. Documentation updated. -Nathan Johnson (talk) 21:57, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Change "tasks awaiting attention" link at the beginning
[edit]It would be nice if the "tasks awaiting attention" link could be set to our project's task page instead, using a new parameter. Could this parameter please be added? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 21:58, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Add padding parameter
[edit]There is a lot of horizontal padding around this; which doesn't work well if it's inside a table. could the padding be made a parameter? – SJ + 19:22, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
Drafts
[edit]![]() | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Would there be interested in adding a drafts parameter to be able to link to the "Draft" class page (if the project uses that class)? It fits somewhere between Article requests and stubs in the hierarchy of creating articles to me. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:34, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
Agree - bumping request and adding edit template. Tule-hog (talk) 18:28, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Given all other parameters provide intrawiki links, I might propose 'Drafts' would link to WP:DRAFT. Tule-hog (talk) 18:30, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
- Please make the required changes to Template:Tasks/sandbox and ensure they work correctly — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:28, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
