Could the version in the sandbox be copied over to live.
I'm just adding back in the {{{parea}}}
parameter back which was missed out when the template was converted to WPBannerMeta. This will also help to populate the Category:African protected areas articles by quality categories. Thanks. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:18, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Done. — RockMFR 23:38, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Please undo this last edit from John Carter as unnecessary. It is not included in the correct hook (i.e. "tfnested" is for nested names and links only, not assessment) and duplicates information already in the code under the taskforces hook, thanks Borgarde (talk) 07:24, 27 October 2009 (UTC).
Fixed. Looks like he was trying to fix the importance parameter, which I have now done. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:47, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
- The old machine didn't always record everything that I typed, unfortunately. Thanks for catching the error. :) John Carter (talk) 13:29, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Updates
[edit]{{edit protected}}
- Please update |TF_9_MAIN_CAT = WikiProject African protected areas articles to |TF_9_MAIN_CAT = African protected areas task force articles and delete Category:WikiProject African protected areas articles, in favor of Category:African protected areas task force articles used by the project and its parent WP:PAREAS.
- please add the shortcut to the importance parameter, for example: |tf 9 importance={{{Protected areas-importance|{{{parea-importance}}}}}} to match the class parameter shortcut of parea. --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:20, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

- I apologize for the confusion, because there is more than one TF9, the right one did not get corrected in the above edit. I have since created a sandbox version, which can be copied over to the real template. In addition, there was another correction needed regarding the syntax for "Comoros". Here is the version to be copied over: [1] Thank you very much and sorry for the confusion! --Funandtrvl (talk) 16:09, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Book class
[edit]{{editprotected}}
I've set up the subpage to support the book-class. However there hasn't been a discussion about this, so I won't make the edited protected request yet. This would greatly help Wikiproject-Wikipedia books whenever there are discussions about Africa-related books. Anyone for/against this? Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 05:20, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- Actually, there was this discussion that took place, but no one gave feedback. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 05:21, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
- So what DO you want doing? Which subpage? - I've copied the current template into the sandbox - Template:AfricaProject/sandbox, suggest you edit that as required, then we can just copy the whole thing over the top of the original, then there's no chance of error. Ronhjones (Talk) 23:18, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
- "This WikiProject banner has a /class subpage which is currently not in use. In order to use it, please set |QUALITY_SCALE=subpage. To remove this warning, please delete or blank that subpage."

WikiProject Somalia
[edit]The template {{WikiProject Somalia}} simply redirects to this one, in which case the parameter "Somalia=yes" is not included (and thus the page is not flagged for WikiProject Somalia). I tried to update the Somalia template, so that it would transclude as follows:
{{WikiProject Africa|BANNER_NAME=Template:WikiProject Somalia|category=no|class=|importance=|Somalia=yes|Somalia-importance=}}
However, this places the talk page in a category for malformed WikiProject templates (or some such). Omitting "category=no" gives an error on the template page itself.
This doesn't work either:
#redirect[[Template:WikiProject Africa|Somalia=yes]]
Can someone help me out? Should I just rebuild the template using {{WPBannerMeta}} using the relevant parameters from {{WikiProject Africa}}? Effectively, the {{WikiProject Somalia}} template needs to work like this:
{{WikiProject Africa|Somalia=yes}}
Thank you, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 16:43, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
- The main problem with the first one was that you passed
|category=no
- this will always cause the page to go into Category:WikiProject banners with formatting errors. Setting|category=no
should only be done if a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Another problem is that|BANNER_NAME=Template:WikiProject Somalia
simply won't be recognised; and|class=
|importance=
|Somalia-importance=
are all ineffectual because they have no value.|Somalia=yes
is good though. - The second one wouldn't work because redirects cannot give, or be given, parameters.
- You've got the basic idea with the last one; but doing this won't feed through all the other parameters such as
|class=
and|importance=
. This should do it:{{WikiProject Africa |small={{{small|}}} |category={{{category|}}} |listas={{{listas|}}} |auto={{{auto|}}} |class={{{class|}}} |importance={{{importance|}}} |attention={{{attention|}}} |needs-infobox={{{needs-infobox|}}} |Somalia=yes |Somalia-importance={{{importance|}}} }}
- --Redrose64 (talk) 19:47, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks,
I hadn't seen this before I asked again(n/m; actually you replied a little afterwards). I tried using this but it still places the template in Category:WikiProject banners with formatting errors, with a message at the top that says "The WikiProject banner below should be moved to this template's talk page." Other than that, I checked a few of the talk pages that still use this, and the template itself seems to work. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 20:18, 6 August 2011 (UTC)- Mmm. I didn't expect that. It may well require building up independently of
{{WikiProject Africa}}
, i.e. using{{WPBannerMeta}}
. Advantages: you won't get the error messages on Template:WikiProject Somalia; disadvantages: it won't inherit any future changes that may be made to{{WikiProject Africa}}
. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:26, 6 August 2011 (UTC)- Another possibility is to simply nominate the WP:SOMALIA template for deletion; there are 2 or 3 dozen talk pages that still use the template and these could be migrated to the WP:AFRICA template. In any case, for now I have left it as-is; maybe someone at the WPBannerMeta talk page will have another idea. Thanks again, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:10, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
- I think this might work, see: diff. Got the idea from WPUSA, they're combining a lot of the templates for the different US state projects. --Funandtrvl (talk) 00:42, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
- Added one more fix, see: Template:WikiProject Somalia. --Funandtrvl (talk) 00:50, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
- These edits have removed some of the parameters (
|auto=
|attention=

Can you please replace the flag used for Western Sahara by this, per WP:NPOV and Wikipedia:Western Sahara Infobox/Vote.

- You don't need to copy the changes into the "Begin request" bit above - errors might be made in transcription either to there, or to the live template. Easiest to ask that the template code be copied from the sandbox.
Not done for now: I would copy straight from sandbox to live - I made that edit this morning so that both the comparison and the copying would be easier (notice the "edit the page · sandbox" links in the box above), but I've been looking at it since then; and I'm not sure that the sandbox version is quite correct.

Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the
{{edit protected}}

There is no need a consensus for a minor edit like that. --Zyma (talk) 17:30, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
- You presumably didn't use the link which I gave, which compares the current sandbox with the current live template. Since that is different from the diff link that you gave, it gives the impression that you want other changes made besides the ones described above. If all you want doing is a few trailing spaces removed, then the answer is again no - the removal of those spaces will not change either the appearance or functionality of the template, and so is change for the sake of change. What it will do is cause 86,363 pages to be placed in the job queue for reparsing, which is a waste of resources. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:49, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Done, I believe. I read through the various RfC and CfD discussions, and this change no longer appears to be controversial. Please ping me from here if further edits are needed, or if there are unexpected side effects. With so many template modifications, pages moves, and category moves, there is probably more cleanup that needs to happen. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:30, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

More categories to move?
[edit]The CfD discussion has concluded, and many categories have been renamed, but it appears (unless I'm missing it) that the subcategories of Category:WikiProject Eswatini articles were missed. They probably need to have corresponding Eswatini categories created, or whatever the correct process is. You can see red links to Eswatini categories at the bottom of this page. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:36, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
Template not working for Ghana
[edit]Use of the template {{|WikiProject Africa|Ghana=yes}} does not produce the expected result: You can also note the name "Ghana" is missing from the list in the banner at the top of this page. A quick review of the code seems to indicate the problem was that Ghana was added using the invalid value tf=11. It appears a subtemplate is called several times with up to 10 tf parameters. This may require renumbering the entire template, however since I'm not familiar with the internal workings of the template, I'll leave it up to someone more well versed than I to fully assess and propose a working solution. I thought I should bring this to your attention. Sincerely, LibraryGeek (talk) 18:10, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
Fixed, more or less. I have moved Ghana from the 11th position in its group to another group. It shows out of alphabetical order in the list, but if people really want alphabetical order, the template should be rebuilt with no more than five or six items per nested template to allow for future additions. They're not making any fewer countries in Africa, after all.
- Note also that Template:WikiProject Ghana exists. I don't know how that template relates to this one, if at all. – Jonesey95 (talk) 01:10, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks. The bug fix is appreciated. I agree that the template may need a major restructuring for long-term maintainability. There doesn't seem to be a consistent idea of how these particular continental/regional templates should work in the greater scheme of things, let alone a coordinated effort to restructure them Wikipedia-wide, which is why I'm asking questions and trying to see who else may be interested in moving to this kind of template, if not with this particular code.
