Template talk:WikiProject Caribbean

message: At the moment it is placing talk pages in categories where they have no business to be. Please fix this. On a broader issue, making the template so complex that other people can't edit it (and indeed telling them not to) is hardly in the spirit that anyone can edit wikipedia. Wikipedia is for everyone, not for computer programmers, and features that work against that are unwelcome. In my opinion the "damage" has already been done when this category was given inappropriate features. LukeHoC 19:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure that it is placing talk pages into incorrect categories. Do you have an example? As for the esoteric syntax, that is standard for WikiProject banners. I don't know of a way to make the template do what it needs to do without making the code complex. Jwillbur 22:22, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Please amend the way this template categorises articles

message: 
Several things:
* Change "Category:Unassessed-Class Jamaica articles" to "Category:Unassessed Jamaica articles"? The first does not exist, the second does.
* Remove "", since WP Puerto Rico does not use a parent category for all its articles (see :Category:WikiProject Puerto Rico)
* Shouldn't there be a  at the top, to let people know that it is protected and why?
Thanks. — jwillbur 18:52, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Cuba, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, and Grenada are all independent WikiProjects that are using their own banner templates: , , , , thus they should be removed as task force parameters of this template. This is similar to the situation of WikiProject Puerto Rico, which was removed from this template a while back. Task force parameters should only exist for projects that aren't using their own banner templates. Unless anyone objects, I will be migrating all uses of those parameters to the corresponding dedicated WikiProject banners and removing those 4 task forces from this template some time in the next few weeks.

text: What I'm seeing at present is that Cuba, Haiti, and T&T retain entries, but to their full wikiprojects (as is the case with many others), while Puerto Rico has just gone missing.  This is not desirable.  Either everything that's not a taskforce/workgroup should be removed, or all the relevant regional wikiprojects should remain listed; don't selectively "disappear" one or a few random ones.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  09:05, 14 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Cuba, Haiti, and T&T still haven't been migrated (despite multiple Bot requests), which is why they're still included in this template. As soon as they are migrated, they should be removed as well. Kaldari (talk) 01:34, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

Reason: Creating a shorthand. Having to type out "United States Virgin Islands" is so tedious, especially since "USVI" is a very common shorthand. That long parameter name will make it easier for people to tag articles as being under that task force.  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  04:35, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
