[edit] META Version
What was wrong with the implementation of {{WPBannerMeta}}? There was no errors that I saw, and from the last edit it is exactly the same. The META template is standardising WikiProject banners, and it is useful to keep the META template in use so one edit to the meta can implement a change to all banners instead of manually going through and changing them all. —Borgardetalk 03:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
- I was still in the middle of redesigning the template and creating the various categories. In the process I discovered a variety of new classes that I decided to add (template, redirect, etc.) and had to take time to figure them out and create the proper categories before adding them to the template. I'm not really experienced at this whole thing, and I'd never seen the meta template before. But when it was changed it caused a whole bunch of error templates to appear ([1]) about categories that didn't exist. I've actually created those categories, but some of them aren't named exactly as they appeared in the error messages (ie. Category:WikiProject Punk music pages rather than Category:Project-Class Punk music articles...the rationale being that there aren't actually articles, but other types of pages). In order to finish building the thing, I had to go back to my in-progress version. There actually are differences between the pre-meta and post-meta versions: [2]. I think I've got the template set now, and the necessary categories in place, so if you want to go back to the meta version it's probably safe to do so, as long as it'll work with the current categories. Let me know and I'll help iron out problems if I can. I decided to do all this because this project has been pretty quiet and it didn't even have the proper categories or an assessment scale set up. --IllaZilla (talk) 04:19, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

- The meta version won't work with the categories you want it to have. They are standardised to be "CLASS-class TOPIC article". —Borgardetalk 10:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

- Well then I suppose the categories could be renamed. If the meta version is becoming standard then I suppose that's what ought to be done. I felt it was sort of miscategorizing to categorize pages as "articles" that weren't in the article namespace. --IllaZilla (talk) 19:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
