Template talk:WikiProject Articles for creation

message: Can its functioning be revised? I.e. so the category can be moved to the template page? Currently, all the templates are needlessly shoved into Special:UncategorizedTemplates because of it. And it'll complicate the task of anybody attempting to clean them. Circeus (talk) 20:34, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I would like this template to be working on commons at :commons:Template:WPAFC so that we can label IfU images as part of the project.  I gave t a go, but it includes other templates too, so that is was not just a copy an paste for me.  Does someone want to give it a go? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:04, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest just adding the banner to the file talk page on wikipedia, as currently happens. There is no way that this template could be made to work on commons. As you rightly observe, it relies on dozens of other templates! — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:10, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Description of suggested change:
Add the parameter |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom to the banner, and create a :Template:WikiProject Articles for creation/class to suppress the following warning message:
"The QUALITY_CRITERIA= parameter is set to custom but there is no custom class mask held at Template:WikiProject Articles for creation/class. Therefore the quality scale has been switched off."
Rationale:
Following a discussion at Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_198#Project-independent_quality_assessments which closed with a consensus to move ratings to the banner shell, wikignomes are working to move the ratings to the banner shells where possible, with a BRFA currently open to speed the process up: Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Qwerfjkl (bot) 26.
However for AfC ratings, these are done for a particular revision therefore should not be changed post review. Putting onto the banner shell can create the impression that particular revision that the rating was given for may be of a higher grade in the future than it was initially rated for.
Setting the QUALITY_CRITERIA parameter to custom is the way to opt out from the generalised rating. However, in doing, a custom mask page should be created as well, otherwise the abovementioned warning will   See :Template:Class mask/doc. If so, we might as well set the custom mask to disable the options for classes that we usually don't rate for through the AFCHelper script: FA, A, GA, and FL.
Diff:
For the banner: Special:Diff/1182518062 (sandbox edit).
For :Template:WikiProject Articles for creation/class:
{{Class mask/templatepage|1=
 |topic=AfC
 |fa=no
 |fl=no
 |a=no
 |ga=no
}}
