This page is only semi-protected, but can someone with experience in templates edit this page for me to add options for inclusion of the following WikiProjects in this template?

I am requesting this so {{WPNYC|art=yes|transportation=yes}} will work. It was originally requested by an IP user at Wikipedia talk:NYC#Subproject flagging. Epicgenius (talk) 00:19, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Epicgenius, I'm not quite understanding your request. I understand that you may not know beans about template syntax, but can you try to be just a little more specific please? — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(t • e • c)} 23:16, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Technical 13: I want to integrate WP:NYCPT into the banner as an option. Epicgenius (talk) 18:09, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See Template:WikiProject New York City Public Transportation

Wikipedia:WikiProject Public Art/NYC was created more recently, so it seems that there is no {{WikiProject Public Art/NYC}} yet. Wbm1058 (talk) 00:36, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Are you saying you want to add this as a task force? I'm still confused. Maybe Redrose64 will understand your request better, and I'm led to believe that she has some knowledge of the WPBanner template system... — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(t • e • c)} 14:58, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I've set up what I think is the correct code for two task forces at Template:WikiProject New York City/sandbox. I've not added them to the documentation, but it would look like this:

art – set |art=yes if the article is supported by WikiProject Public Art/NYC.
- This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Public Art articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Public Art articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
transportation – set |transportation=yes if the article is supported by WikiProject New York City Public Transportation.
- This parameter populates Category:All New York City public transportation articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:New York City public transportation articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
- transportation-importance (only used if |transportation=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within WikiProject New York City Public Transportation
  - This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:New York City public transportation articles by importance.

What do you think? --Redrose64 (talk) 21:12, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Redrose64: Looks good. Epicgenius (talk) 17:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request for template consolidation

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please alter the template to match the current sandbox version with output visible on the testcases page, the net diff is this. This change is a somewhat belated effort to clean-up following the changeover of WikiProject New York Theatre to a taskforce, see this discussion for details. The taskforce order is alphabetical in the template for organizational convenience; the image for the new taskforce was taken from the existing Template:WikiProject New York Theatre. The necessary assessment categories can be created once this is done as they've not been previously set up, I have no complaint if the answerer of this request or anyone else does that to speed things along as I don't really mind who gets the credit for them. Please feel free to leave any questions that you have; it may be a few days before I can respond to them depending on what's going on, however this is decidedly nonurgent, thanks for the help.

To editor 𝒬𝔔:

done. Please update the documentation, the categories are yours to create, and thank you very much for your help in this! P.I. Ellsworth ed. ^put'r there 00:51, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Doc is

Another edit request for template consolidation

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Based on this discussion I'm assessing a silent consensus after a month to merge WikiProject Chinese in New York City (only) in as a taskforce. As with the above request the sandbox version is set up and ready to go with output visible on the testcases page, and this is the net diff. If you have any questions I'll try to get back to you when I'm next available. Given the unpredictability of my schedule I'd appreciate if you could get the doc done for me if this goes straight through but if not I'll get around to it sooner or later, thanks.

Request for addition of B-class checklist

Over at Template:WikiProject_Aviation, they have a great little system of structured B-class verification for articles within their Project. The template itself contains parameters to display an itemized list of criteria with "yes" or "no" responses to each:

| b1  = <yes/no>

| b2  = <yes/no>

| b3  = <yes/no>

| b4  = <yes/no>

| b5  = <yes/no>

Would anybody be able to add this checklist to our project's template? We have a large backlog of articles needing assessment, as well as articles which are currently under-assessed and this could help start the ball rolling on improving many of them. Headphase (talk) 20:41, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding it is easy, but it must be done with the agreement of the WikiProject, because doing so will immediately downgrade all existing B-Class articles to either C-Class or Start-Class (depending upon how it is implemented). BTW please don't paste code examples into a talk page, the sandbox exists for that, see WP:TESTCASES. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:53, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see; so even if a page is set to "class=B", it would still be downgraded if the checklist wasn't filled out? Headphase (talk) 20:01, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Also, I didn't mean that you should remove only the <code> and </code> tags, but everything that they enclose as well. Make your proposed changes to Template:WikiProject New York City/sandbox, that way they may be properly compared, evaluated and tested. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:27, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: Sync template with sandbox to include WP:NYHOUSING, newly created taskforce under WikiProjects NY and NYC TheTranarchist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 23:36, 21 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:19, 22 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@TheTranarchist, @Pppery: the general practice for banner parameters is all lowercase, i.e., {{{Housing|}}} should be {{{housing|}}}, and {{{Housing-importance|}}} be {{{housing-importance|}}}. Also, change TF_4_LINK to TF_4_LINK = Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City/Housing and Tenant Rights Task Force as this parameter almost always uses the full page name, not shortcuts. Further, |TF_4_NESTED = Housing should be added to avoid an unwieldly long name when the banner is placed inside {{WPBS}}. Thanks! —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 12:18, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CX Zoom thanks for pointing that out! @Pppery, could you please make the updates not only to this template but also Template:WikiProject New York (state)? I'd requested the same code be added there a few days ago and CX Zoom's points also apply to that one. Best, TheTranarchist ⚧ Ⓐ (talk) 13:12, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done both. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 13:48, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
