To do adjustments

I have made a few adjustments to the to do related code in /auxiliary/sandbox.

Converted the presentational table to a more appropriate div.
Use a dark mode token for the background.
Removed support for setting custom styles. Template:WikiProject Freemasonry is the only project which uses them (TODO_STYLE TODO_TITLE_STYLE), and the way in which they are used is not friendly for dark mode, though the particular color flavor happens to be readable. I removed another which was using the default in light mode.

It looks like Module:WikiProject banner/templatepage needs removal of the parameters of interest. Izno (talk) 02:10, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks for the info. I can deal with /templatepage — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:15, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Izno there is a slight spacing inconsistency with the new divs, which you can observe on Template:WikiProject Japan/sandbox. Are you able to line up the text on the left and the [show] links on the right? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:43, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Playing around with the left/right padding on the container seems to do it. Adding 2px on the left and another 2px on the right I think got it. Basically what's happening is that tables have a natural border-spacing (not coincidentally it's 2px) which is padding like but applied slightly differently. Izno (talk) 16:53, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Padding is always inside the border. The spacing outside the border is the margin. See The CSS Box Model. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:27, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tables are special in that they have the border-spacing property. The point I was making is that in fact there is more to the box model than just padding and margin. Izno (talk) 00:58, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any changes to the sandbox and the example is still looking the same? If you can fix the spacing in the sandbox, I suggest we change all of the collapsible boxes in the module to use div boxes, to keep things consistent — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:46, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Izno are you still interested in this? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:48, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't make any adjustments, which is why you do not see any changes.

I didn't change the other collapsible boxes because they're more or less fairly marked up as tables, from memory (and memory may be wrong of course). Izno (talk) 21:30, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I can't really see a benefit to converting the table to a div, as it will introduce an inconsistency. I have removed the style parameters from /templatepage, so these will now be treated as unknown parameters — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:53, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

NA class category warnings

While processing a move request for Template:WikiProject Song Contests, and then updating the categories (for the first time), I was caught unaware of the changes to the NA-related categories, Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2024_December_7#Category:Category-Class_articles. This led to an eventual deletion of Category:NA-importance Song Contests articles and Category:NA-Class Song Contests articles as these became redirects to the now non-existent Eurovision categories.

Then in the Template:WikiProject Song Contests page, warnings came up, requesting to create the 'articles' categories, leading to me recreating the redirects to suppress the warnings (cc: @Liz). Can these warnings be suppressed outright in the module codes since the articles are being automatically set to the 'pages' categories already? – robertsky (talk) 23:09, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I will update those, thanks for the reminder — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done, finally got round to this — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:09, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-load templates

We are still using the following templates:

and these are also using:

I would firstly like to move these to a more suitable location (as Template:WPBannerMeta is no longer in use) and also to update and simplify this whole family of templates, because things can be done a lot more easily these days — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:16, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I have moved the three preload templates to Template:WikiProject banner preload template and deleted all the rest which are no longer needed — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:14, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tidy up intersecting categories

I am looking at tidying up the intersecting quality/importance categories and there seem to be 3 types:

Category:Draft-Class Ireland articles of Low-importance - this is a valid category but should be renamed to Category:Draft-Class Ireland pages of Low-importance in line with the move of Category:Draft-Class pages. This is under discussion here - please comment if you can.
Category:FM-Class Palaeontology articles of NA-importance seems entirely redundant because all FM-class pages are rated as NA-class, so it will be an exact copy of Category:FM-Class Palaeontology pages. I have nominated for deletion here - please comment if you can.
Category:NA-Class glass articles of Unknown-importance is invalid because it will never be used (NA-class will always default to NA-importance not Unknown-importance), so I will tag it for speedy deletion under {{db-c1}}.

Misplaced banners by bot

In January 2024 there was an error in the bot's code which resulted in edits like this. I suspect that most of these have now been fixed but I am still finding the occasional example. So I was wondering if there is a way we could track these. I think that every banner should be above the first h2 heading, so perhaps some pattern that checks whether the banner code is before the first instance of 2 equals signs (==) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:01, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe similar code to Module:Is infobox in lead? Gonnym (talk) 08:45, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks promising — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:37, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Different shades of green

Aviation B‑class

B

This article has been rated as B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.

This article has not yet been checked against the criteria for B-class status:
Referencing and citation: not checked Coverage and accuracy: not checked Structure: not checked Grammar and style: not checked Supporting materials: not checked	To fill out this checklist, please add the following code to the template call: \| b1<!--Referencing and citation--> = <yes/no> \| b2<!--Coverage and accuracy --> = <yes/no> \| b3<!--Structure --> = <yes/no> \| b4<!--Grammar and style --> = <yes/no> \| b5<!--Supporting materials --> = <yes/no> assessing the article against each criterion.

I am seeing two different shades of green when the B-checklist is used. I don't understand why because they are both using css class assess-b which is defined in Module:WikiProject banner/styles.css as DFFFBF. I believe this is the paler colour, so I'm not sure where the other green is being defined. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:20, 1 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
