thread_title:  Change history category 

message: Would it be possible to change the location of where articles are place from :Category:China articles needing images where there are only 6 in the list to :Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in China which is more in common with most photo requests?

replies: text: Hmmm... I see 150 articles, not 6. Anyway Category:China articles needing images seams to be a duplicate of Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in China and out of standard naming (Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in XXX, right?) so... done. - Nabla (talk) 16:42, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Project class

message: The following line:
:|Category|category|Cat|cat=
should be changed to:
:|Category|category|Cat|cat= 
i.e. so that articles are placed into :Category:Chinese cinema category pages rather than :Category:Category-Class Chinese cinema articles, per WP:FILMS standard category naming. (Note that even though :Category:Category-Class Chinese cinema articles exists, it was incorrectly created (by me) and I plan to have it deleted once it been depopulated, by the above-described change).

replies: text:  FYI. A subsequent edit, made about a month later, has resulteed in the practical undoing of this change. I contacted the editor making the change, and would like to quote his reply here. It would be just about possible to change this behaviour, but I would not recommend it. All other China workgroups use "articles" rather than "pages" for this and at least 99% of all WikiProjects now follow this convention. Films are also likely follow suit shortly. (I realise that it is not intuitive and occasionally proposals are made to change it, but I think a systematic approach is needed, not a piecemeal fix.)

text:  In view of this reply I recommend to keep :Category:Category-Class Chinese cinema articles as a redirect to :Category:Chinese cinema category pages till such time as Wikipedia:WikiProject Films changes Template:Films to sort into the "articles" category as well.

replies: text: No, the intended purpose of  is that a bot can come along and change the category to the new one. However this does not and cannot work for categories populated by a template. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:52, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Well yes, obviously. But with the new :Category:Wikipedia_non-empty_soft_redirected_categories they were found soon enough and taken care of. Debresser (talk) 12:48, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

message: It seems like all the taskforces and subgroup take the main importance category for their own importance. It seems to defeat the method of categorizing something as low importance to China overall but mid or even higher importance to a particular task force. I noticed while trying to clean out the old deprecated Template:WikiProject Chinese-language entertainment. Is that intentional? It seem counter to how most other projects work. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:26, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about intentional or not, but it is true that there are no taskforce-specific importance parameters; those taskforces that have importance ratings invariably inherit the main importance by using code like this:   |tf 1 importance= There are several ways of giving each taskforce an individual importance rating, the first thing to decide is: if the individual importance rating is absent, should the main importance rating be used instead (as with ) or should the article go into e.g. . This could be decided on a per-taskforce basis, so a second question is: which taskforces should have their own importance ratings? Are there any which should have no importance rating at all (as is the case with the Chinese maps workgroup)? --Redrose64 (talk) 20:36, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Subgroup importance 

message: This template is causing instances of duplicate templates when used with  on the same page that  is used. Pages that use both are added to :Category:Pages using WikiProject banner shell with duplicate banner templates. The simplest solution is just to remove support for  in this template. An editor wishing to tag both, should just add both, that takes just a few more seconds. Gonnym (talk) 15:48, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
