Template

This template does not require a rating on the project's quality scale.

[edit] Category:WikiProject Software articles

I don't know how to do this, but when software=yes, the article shouldn't be placed in Category:WikiProject Software articles. It should be placed into a subcategory based on class or importance or Unassessed-Class or Unknown-importance if they're missing. --Geniac (talk) 14:20, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Issue with term "guide"

The template calls for "a comprehensive and detailed guide". But Wikipedia is not a guide; it is an encyclopedia. The formulation from the introduction transcluded on the WikiProject's home page presents two much better (and more attainable) goals: "to better organize information in articles related to areas or subjects relating to computers, computing and information technology", and "to improve the quality and quantity of information about computing technology available on Wikipedia". --Lambiam 12:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Template colour

Why is this template a lighter colour than other WikiProject banners? Take a look at Talk:Ada Lovelace for an example. — OwenBlacker (Talk) 11:55, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

I dont see a difference on my computer : MSXP+Mozilla3.0.5 -- Tinu Cherian - 12:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Defects after converting to WPBannerMeta

Before the conversion there was a collapsed To-Do list for the "WikiProject Amiga" attached to this template, the To-Do list was of great help.
And the "amiga-importance" does not seem to work either.

Any solutions to solve these issues? --Marko75 (talk) 14:19, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

These issues are now resolved, thanks. --Marko75 (talk) 15:37, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Ratio is lost from image to template

It seems the ratio is lost between the image and the template, see in the screenshot: http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/8361/lostratio.png I'm using Firefox 3, I don't know if it's browser specific but it truncates the transparent part of the SVG. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TiCPU (talk • contribs)

This image is behaving a bit strangely. I've just specified a size of 100x70px and the aspect is looking better, but the size is a little small. But when I try to increase the size, the ratio is lost again. I actually had a go at editing this image a while back (se history of File:Computer-aj_aj_ashton_01.svg) but it didn't work either. Is there another suitable image that we could try? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:50, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Any size other than 80px seems to work ok -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:56, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Size	60px	70px	80px	90px	100px
Image

Why???? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:57, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:58, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] network-importance broken?

See Talk:Jon_Postel: network-importance=Top is rendered as Unknown-importance.--Oneiros (talk) 11:06, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Fixed. Sorry about that. It seems I cannot spell. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] If you would...

is incorrect grammar. Popular, but incorrect. *ould never goes with if. It should say Should you.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.52.129.66 (talk) 13:09, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

This template uses the generic wording, so this is something to suggest at Template talk:WPBM. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:49, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Unused categories

There is a discussion on my talk page about a lot (400+) of empty categories that are no longer populated by this template. If anyone has an opinion about them, please comment there. I intend to delete them shortly. Thanks — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:43, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

I've actually been working on this. Seems the meta-template was not set up properly to handle some of the classes that were previously used. --Tothwolf (talk) 19:05, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
