Template talk:WikiProject assessment category check

Problem with creation preload

I'm not sure if recent edits by MSGJ (talk · contribs) have anything to do with it, but the "create" links are not behaving as expected. See Template:WikiProject Australia/class/sandbox, this has seven message boxes at the top because I added |future=yes. Of these, the "create" link in the first box is

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Future-Class_Australia_articles&action=edit&preload=Template:WPBannerMeta/templatepage/preloadqual&editintro=Template:WPBannerMeta/templatepage/editintro&preview=no&summary=Creating+category+for+%5B%5BWP%3A1.0%2FA%7C1.0+Assessment+scheme%5D%5D&preloadclass=Future-Class&preloadtopic=Australia+articles&preloadproject=

- if you click that, it produces an edit box containing the code

{{subst:WPBannerMeta/templatepage/qualheader
|project = $1
|topic   = $2
}}

which comes from Template:WPBannerMeta/templatepage/preloadqual, and I am certain that the $1 and $2 should have been replaced with proper values. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:53, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

Hi, yes, here is the long answer to this. Those parameters were never filled in automatically. There is an editintro box at the top which explains what you have to do. BUT, I have managed to get this working properly in the new module so it WILL fill in those parameters automatically. I did not get round to copying the code to the old code though, but it should be straightforward enough? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:48, 2 July 2023 (UTC)

By contrast, the "create" links at Template:WikiProject Beauty Pageants work as expected, for example

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category%3AFA-Class_Beauty_Pageants_articles&preload=Template%3AWPBannerMeta%2Ftemplatepage%2Fpreloadqual&action=edit&preview=no&summary=Creating+category+for+%5B%5BWP%3A1.0%2FA%7C1.0+Assessment+scheme%5D%5D&editintro=Template%3AWPBannerMeta%2Ftemplatepage%2Feditintro&preloadparams%5B1%5D=Beauty+Pageants&preloadparams%5B2%5D=Beauty+Pageants

produces

{{subst:WPBannerMeta/templatepage/qualheader
|project = Beauty Pageants
|topic   = Beauty Pageants
}}

The principal differences in the query strings seem to be that the one in error has &preloadclass=Future-Class&preloadtopic=Australia+articles&preloadproject= whereas the working one has &preloadparams%5B1%5D=Beauty+Pageants&preloadparams%5B2%5D=Beauty+Pageants. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:46, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
