replies: text: I think the comments section is a companion alongside article assessments. Would it serve any benefit to hide this functionality by default? To shrink the template on overcrowded talk pages, try the small=yes parameter, which shrinks the template to almost userbox-sizing, and aligns it to the right.

thread_title:  Replace image with SVG version? 

message: I've introduced a few significant changes to the template:
*Using  code, I've put in a list-class option.
*To trim down the size and keep out un-necessary data (pursuant to above discussion), I've removed  and placed assessment comments in the collapsible section.
*I've separated task parameters (peer-review, ACOTF, etc) from subproject parameters with a horizontal rule.
There are some changes to the way the template now functions. For instance, when class is specified as NA or List, the importance parameter remains. Ideally, I'd like it to not show as previously, but I can't figure the code. The task parameters also need to be updated for the list-class option. --cj | talk 23:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes 

message: I notice this template says the article "is maintained by" WP:AUS.  It seems to me that saying "is within the scope of" (as  does, for example) would be more appropriate and make more sense.  Not a big deal, but "is maintained by" has a hint of WP:OWNership about it.  Plus, I've seen evidence that it's a bit of an exaggeration in some cases, e.g., The Radiators (Australian band), which I created to fill in a redlink, had the WP AUS banner added by someone else, but has had almost no maintenance by anyone.  Not that I'm complaining, mind you.  I'm just tossing an idea out for discussion. Xtifr tälk 13:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "...is within the scope of" works for me. If I remember correctly, I edited the template to read "is maintained by" when the article on the Tim Tam was speedy deleted. It'd be nice if those deleting articles on a whim advised the WikiProject concerned for comment prior to deletion, but the wiki-world is far from perfect. I'm supportive of your suggested rewording. -- Longhair\talk 13:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps we could have it render as "is within the scope of" for articles, but retain "is maintained by" for non-article pages, where the scope doesn't necessarily make sense?--cj | talk 13:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:   i actually came here to make exactly the same "within the scope of" suggestion. i do think that it is well worth the work because aside from the issue of whether or not the page is actually being "maintained", this terminology is exclusionary and shout's "hands off" at non-members who might be interested in contributing.  xx baby_ifritah 13:22, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

message: For some time now I have been dabbling with putting WP Australia class=NA in category talk pages, partially as a way of tracking through the full ranges of categories and their populations - as well as allocating various projects indicators. (Tasmania, WA and much less maritime history - and about to start Northern territory)
I do have a question for this whole process:  Is there a rule/policy about joint project involvement - where multiple projects might claim custodianship so to speak?  I would be interested - so as to get a sense of whether its ok to be allocating more than one - whether certain parameters might determine whether one has precedence over another etc.    I ask this as to whether there are any issues with current templates. cheers  SatuSuro 11:50, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Category *is* an assessment, so they don't need to be assessed. (i.e. one is saying "This article is a category and needs no further assessment") As a result it appears as a subcat under quality - which was my question above. Orderinchaos 01:14, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that when category is selected, it should not populate a category as it's superfluous to do so.

I mean, FFS seriously). --lincalinca 06:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Conversation here is about when finding a category talk page (not an article page) blissfully clear of any interference - then if being tagged for WikiProject Australia - if the class=cat is typed in - the resultant view of the template tag on that talk page has a not assessable/ or no comment at all in the box?

text: Basically, i am completely lost here with all the jargon and wiki-ness. What i think should happen is that we tag categories like they are, but have like a "N/A" rating for them, so that they are removed from the unassessed category. This way they are not clogging up the category. Basically what i was wondering, is how on earth this can be done? Twenty Years 15:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I said way back, it can be done, but needs consensus for a method to do it, as any way it can be done will add bulk to already bulky code. (The most likely way is adding an exception line under every subproject as we've done with Lists) Orderinchaos 15:25, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Am I missing a parameter to assess it for these projects like "WA-importance=" and "biota-importance=" that I didn't see in the instructions?

message: This template does not add articles to the ubercat of :Category:WikiProject Australia articles, only to the subcats such as :Category:WikiProject Australian television articles and the overall importance/quality cats.  I've have a look through the history and there is a bit of a discussion in Archive 2, saying the duplication isn't needed for such a large cat.  Well :Category:WikiProject_Biography_articles doesn't seem to worry about their almost 800,000 articles in one cat.  Why do I care?  Well User:DASHBot is now running nightly comparisons of project articles against :Category:All unreferenced BLPs, and if we don't populate a single cat with all of WP:Aust's articles, then we either need to convince Tim to do a recursive scan of the importance/quality cat, or go without an overall Australia uBLP listing.
