Template talk:WikiProject Arthropods

message: Currently, yabby is a disambiguation page, and is thus excluded from the ratings system, but, although the text "This page is not an article and does not require a rating on the quality scale." appears correctly, the page is still put into :Category:Unassessed Arthropods articles, which must be wrong. Could someone who understands the way the template works please alter it so that all the pages marked as not being articles are not listed among the unassessed articles? --Stemonitis 14:49, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello. Would it be at all possible for someone to add a photo-request section into the template? I'm concerned at the amount of WikiProject Arthropods articles there are crowding Wikipedia requested photographs of animals, while they should be in their own subcategory. Thank you.

replies: text: Yes, a needs-photo to go with the audio one is a must. The problem is the insect photos have their own subcategories (so we need something like "insect=yes" unless we just use  (which should itself be renamed), and arthropods don't even have one themselves. I can create an arthropods category but can't edit the template (there wasn't really any need to protect it (again?) anyway...). Richard001 (talk) 07:39, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Why does this template not use class= and importance= like other templates? These are used for scripts that check an article's grade assessment without looking at the talk page. Gary King (talk) 04:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This has been fixed now so that the template accepts both (e.g.) A and class=A, although I would prefer it if people would switch to using only the latter. Richard001 (talk) 08:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit link not working 

message: The talk pages for Arthropods should have <nowiki> and not <nowiki> so the appropriate categories appear at the bottom of the page. Using   means that the article shows the assessment but the categories at the bottom of the talk page do not show the class or importance.  The Arthropods project should clarify this situation, and this template page should, too.--DThomsen8 (talk) 23:50, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Talk pages for Arthropods 

message: As part of a nearly-completed shift to distinguish requests for photos from requests for images in general, it is requested that this template be modified to place talk pages in "Wikipedia requested images of..." categories, rather than the old "Wikipedia requested photographs of..." categories. As such, please supplement all references to "photo(s) of..." and "photograph(s) of..." with "image(s) of..." in both the template and its documentation, while maintaining backwards compatibility for the old "photo" parameters. In particular, change "photograph or picture" to simply "image". Note that the "Wikipedia requested images of..." categories have already been created.

The reason is that this is more standard across all WikiProject banner templates, and now the class parameter is usually held in the banner shell, the importance essentially becomes the first parameter which can cause the template to break if the syntax is not handled carefully. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:07, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
