message: The Infoboxneeded template was deleted per  this discussion, but this project banner still includes it.  The needs-infobox parameter should either be ignored or the functionality fixed.   uses a category to implment the same concept.  --J Clear 16:16, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Can the last edit to this template by Od Mishehu be reverted as the category was added outside of the noinclude tags. Thanks.

Reason: To allow the two task forces in WP Geology to tag articles in their domain. They will inherit quality and importance ratings from the parent project. RockMagnetist (talk) 01:03, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Please add
 |tf 1 importance=

and

I overlooked this - the task forces should have their own importance rating schemes. RockMagnetist (talk) 15:46, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, I would, because a small change like that won't break anything - but at the small size used by WikiProject banners,  it looks like a dark grey-brown rectangle. Is there an image with a light background? --Redrose64 (talk) 16:39, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

message: I can come up with multiple applicable redirects with discussion on their talk pages for which this would be useful (most recently Talk:Stone), and it says there should be a redirect class on the documentation. Dustin (talk) 23:03, 18 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The most straightforward way to do this is to use a custom mask that will add several classes such as redirect, category, and project. This is a big enough change that I have proposed it on the Geology wikiproject page. RockMagnetist(talk) 01:19, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Would someone please add redirect class? 

message: Can you provide options for the additional parameters? I admit to limited academic understanding here. For  "Geological periods", should one:
*respond with only yes or no?
*list only the period(s) represented, if somehow comprising multiple periods?
*list the period, epoch and age if, for example, a stratigraphic unit?
Thanks. - Trilotat (talk) 14:52, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
