Discussion[edit]

Code is available at User:AnomieBOT/source/tasks/WikiProjectTagger.pm. Subcategories are not processed. User, MediaWiki, Help, and Category namespace pages will not be tagged. The code first looks for an existing ((physics)) banner to add the task force parameter to; failing that, it looks for a ((WPB)) or ((WPBS)) to add the new banner to; and failing that, it puts the banner after any other WikiProject banners and Talk header templates at the top of the talk page.

•  Approved. Approved for ANY wikiproject tagging, even using subcats if you like, as long as the final list of categories is approved by a member of the project. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs(st47) 11:32, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
