Better to place project banners directly rather than using these wrapper templates as they can't pass through all the other parameters. WOSlinker (talk) 19:11, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP All five have been modified to accept additional parameters, for example:
{{WikiProject {{{1}}}|class=file|{{{2}}}|{{{3}}}|{{{4}}}|{{{5}}}|{{{6}}}|{{{7}}}|{{{8}}}|{{{9}}}|{{{10}}}|{{{11}}}|{{{12}}}|{{{13}}}|{{{14}}}|{{{15}}}|{{{16}}}|{{{17}}}|{{{18}}}|{{{19}}}|{{{20}}}}}

Delete These are all newly created (this year) templates that do nothing to add functionality to the standard Wikiproject banners, and indeed inhibits their use when they have more than 19 unnamed parameters, and impossible to use with named parameters. 70.24.251.224 (talk) 05:05, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Another thing with the File, Template & Category ones is that most WikiProject banners can work these out automatically & do not need the class= param specifying. -- WOSlinker (talk) 10:03, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete—redundant to the actual banner templates. Imzadi 1979 → 14:57, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete all - Can't think of any reason why someone would want to use fake banners instead of the proper banners. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 15:29, 20 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
