Template talk:WikiProject Chemicals

message: I plan to use this template to automate assessment of the WP:CHEMS worklist. This template is not to replace the  template, but to augment the daughter-Wikiproject's rating process. Wim van Dorst (Talk) 20:17, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Intention of use

message: I propose to convert this banner to use the meta template Template:WPBannerMeta. This would have several advantages. I would make sure that everything works properly. Does anyone have any comments/concerns about this? Martin 10:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: the core option that makes this template a WPChem Worklist article with different categories etc, may seem to be a challenge for the meta template. If you can make the option workable, then a move to the meta template seems quite ok to me. Wim van Dorst (talk) 22:44, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that will be a problem. I'll request temporary lowering of the page protection and after thorough testing and if everything works well, it can be fully protected again. Martin 23:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

text: Thanks. Like the image but I think the size is too big as it's pushing everything over ather a lot. Martin 00:19, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way, you seem to have 22 GA-class articles. What do you want doing with these? By removing GA from the mask, you will be putting those into :Category:Unassessed chemistry articles. Martin 00:31, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The size was already at 100px in my firefox (I tried several sizes, to prevent too small and too large images). For MSIE one apparently need to give the unit explicitly. Thanks for pointing out this OFI. Can you please confirm that it now works for your OS+Browser too? Wim van Dorst (talk) 17:08, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I am using Firefox 3 and 100px is definitely better than just 100. Martin 18:20, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

message: All assessment of this wikiproject is done manually. Please change the AUTO_ASSESS parameter to: AUTO_ASSESS=No, or better yet delete the parameter althogether. It was by default created. Wim van Dorst (talk) 22:32, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: In fact, any value is interpreted as "yes", even "no"! If you don't want it, you will have to remove the parameter entirely. Thus restoring the EP. Please remove the following code from the template. Martin 10:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Could we add the following code in, based on what we already have at ? Physchim62 (talk) 13:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: . Could you please create the two categories needed? The prompt for :Category:none is an error - you don't need that one! Cheers, Martinmsgj 20:27, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

text: Done that. Also fixed the Category:none prompt! Martinmsgj 22:17, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expanding template 

message: Would there be any opposition to moving this template to Template:WikiProject Chemicals in line with most other WikiProject banner templates? The shortcut  could still be used. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:51, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: What would be the benefit? Physchim62 (talk) 23:41, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The  template is already a shortcut the other way around. If the other projects want to use an elaborate name, then that's their choice. It sure is less typing to use . Wim van Dorst (talk) 21:00, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Wherever the template is located, the current shortcut  would always work and you would not need to start typing the extra characters. The advantages of standardising these template names are described at Wikipedia:Banner standardisation. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:41, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

text: Although I don't see a difference where it exactly is (either from 'our' side, nor from 'your' side!), I don't care either way.  You say that it is easier to identify etc., I think that it does not matter.  Whether you check that  is redirecting to , or  is redirecting to  (the former is what a bot now has to do, the latter is what the bot then has to do, most banners on the talkpages will still be , which the bot can not recognise as the wikiproject banner).  Users don't see the difference on the talkpage either, as both the banner and the redirect will be on the talkpages .. and letting a bot changing all of them just for the sake of being in line with most other WikiProject banner templates .. nah.  Why not program the bot like here, where the bot knows the template, and all redirects to that template, so it recognises it all?  --Dirk Beetstra T C 14:50, 14 July 2010 (UTC)
