Template talk:WikiProject Dance

message: When I grade the importance of the Ballet Wikiproject in Ballet-importance=, nothing shows up unless the Dance wikiproject is graded, and then I find that I can't give it a different importance for the Ballet Wikiproject than that listed for the importance of the Dance Wikiproject.

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. Thank you! — s w p b T 17:57, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Please remove the TODO list from the template. It clutters the "What links here" mightily with useless backlinks to hundreds of talkpages, so that it is difficult to find which articles mention specific dances. I don't see this is other WikiProject templates. - Altenmann >talk 22:55, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: It is not the matter of the maintenance of the to-do- list. It is the matter of inclusion of it into the "WikiProject Dance" template with whole its enchilada: I want it gone from the template. - Altenmann >talk 21:57, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: A talk page cluttering  wikipedia articles with irrelevant links is a disruption, not "valuable information". Here is an example, Latin swing. This is a red link, meaning no article. I am trying to find some scraps of info about it by clicking "What links here" and I see 7,000 talk pages! - Altenmann >talk 02:07, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree that those are just talk pages that have the project banner and are useless for finding "scraps of info" specifically about Latin swing. Those What links here links will exist for any red link on any todo list in any project banner that has such a todo list. Why aren't you doing a [title search] instead?

replies: text:  Title search useless. And if there is "any project banner that has such a todo list", it has the same issue. But I am not interested in "any project", but rather in this one. - Altenmann >talk 03:03, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: If you enclose the term "Latin swing" in quotation marks for the search, you will enjoy over a dozen article links that should give you considerably more than a few "scraps of info" about the subject, and there are probably more sources that can be found if writing an article is your intention. Sorry, I guess I still don't understand the issue you've attempted to describe. Sometimes backlinks are helpful and sometimes they're not. That's just the nature of the WLH beast. Perhaps the red links can be removed to make the todo list better? Is there something else about the todo properties that you find unwieldy?

replies: text: OK, forget it; I found the easy solution: the "What links here" page has an option to select the namespace; Never paid attention to this; sorry for taking your time. - Altenmann >talk 05:05, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: No problemo. And since there seems to be only one other namespace and page (Template:WikiProject Dance) that links to "Latin swing", I don't see how that's helpful. But. Your call. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 07:54, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
