Discussion[edit]

In this TfD the community overwhelmingly decided to merge the banners into the WikiProject banner stuff. Although that was only to apply to the ((WPUS50)) template, I think the sentiment in that discussion was against having it in a separate banner. Example new usage. In line with that, I'm wondering how your task would add these templates? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 00:19, 9 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for the comment. I think we may insert the templates into ((WikiProject banner shell)). Maybe BabbaQ have good idea? By the way, I think using the expression |WPUS50= will cause difficulties of related templates if we want to add/remove them later. The problem triggered when I run the task Normalize Multiple issues in zhwiki or jawiki, they allow both ((Multiple issues|BLP sources=true)) and ((Multiple issues|((BLP sources)))). So I need to check them both. If the challenge templates are merged to different meta-templates as parameters, the situation will be more complicated. In my opinion, ((Multiple issues|((BLP sources)))) is better than ((Multiple issues|BLP sources=true)), for it is easy to search for both humans and bots.

The other templates in that category have been nominated for deletion/merging with their parent WikiProject banners. I think it would be best to wait for the outcome of that discussion first. Primefac (talk) 12:59, 10 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

((BotOnHold)) Sure. I will wait for the discussion Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 May 10#Wikipedia article challenge templates ending. Kanashimi (talk) 00:23, 11 May 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Primefac and BabbaQ: It seems Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2021 May 10#Wikipedia article challenge templates gets no consensus. How about continues this task? --Kanashimi (talk) 01:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Given my involvement in the TFD (which I believe is sufficient enough to make me involved in this situation) I will refrain from commenting on this from a BAG perspective, but if the TFD closed with no action taken then I see no reason why the templates shouldn't be used in the appropriate locations. Primefac (talk) 18:55, 20 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for the comment. @BabbaQ I will continue the task. ((BAG assistance needed)) May I do some test edits? I will insert challenge templates into ((WikiProject banner shell)). Kanashimi (talk) 06:26, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you! BabbaQ (talk) 10:38, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If allowing testing, please give a ((BotTrial)), thank you! Kanashimi (talk) 11:42, 24 August 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Approved for trial (70 edits). Please provide a link to the relevant contributions and/or diffs when the trial is complete. There are 7 templates in the category, so please do 10 edits per template (if possible). Primefac (talk) 17:06, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There are 6 templates that may insert to talk pages. I will try for these templates. Kanashimi (talk) 21:51, 1 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Trial complete. Please see here. There was an issue when inserting as a hatnote, and the bug was fixed. It seems OK now. Kanashimi (talk) 06:22, 3 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hey Kanashimi, would you mind posting a direct link to the diffs in question? The RC link you've posted doesn't show anything. Cheers. (please do not ping on reply) Primefac (talk) 06:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
