Recommend adding Module Namespace to class list

As more and more templates are converted into Modules I think the need will arise rather soon that some projects will want to tag a module as they do for Templates. Adding this to the class list isn't all that hard but before I do that I wanted to start a discussion to see if anyone has any comments or problems with doing so.

They could just be bundled in with the templates. -- WOSlinker (talk) 13:21, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

That's true too. Good point. Kumioko (talk) 13:28, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

New editor needs help

There is a request for help with a malfunctioning WikiProject banner at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council#Templates from a relatively new editor. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:38, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

I've got the template working for them. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 23:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

B-class articles are shown as C-class

I have added the B-class checklist hook to {{WikiProject U2}} and it shows (Rated C-class) for articles that have been assessed as B-class. So, I had to add the 6 parameters to all B-Class U2 articles to make them run correctly. I've also noticed that {{WikiProject Songs}}, {{WikiProject Comics}} and {{WikiProject Apple Inc.}} — and probably many others — have the same problem. Thanks in advance & happy editing! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 12:50, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

By design they are only shown as B when all checks are completed. Agathoclea (talk) 13:13, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Module:Pagetype

I've created Module:Pagetype, a replacement for {{pagetype}}, and I am thinking of updating the template to the Lua version later on this week. The Lua version has some differences from the current template, so I would like to get others' comments before making the switch. Please let me know your thoughts over at Template talk:Pagetype#Module:Pagetype. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 14:17, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Draftspace detection and auto-classificaion

The video games WikiProject has expressed an interest in categorizing drafts-class articles. Instead of implementing draftspace detection and auto-classification on our individual banner, it would seem to make more sense to do it here on the meta template so all projects can use it. (Similar to how redirects are currently configured to auto-classify.) Thoughts? czar ♔ 16:17, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

I did also already post at Template_talk:Class_mask#Draft_namespace, which seems to handle the underlying class selection logic. —  HELLKNOWZ  ▎TALK 17:05, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

I've made the changes so that the WPBannerMeta now supports it (if the projects uses a class mask) but there is still a couple of issues that need discussing, namely, the colour and the icon to use for Draft. -- WOSlinker (talk) 18:46, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

What about a red X for an icon? (meaning not-live) and pink or red as the color? It'd be eyecatching. -- 65.94.76.3 (talk) 06:04, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

This is only one of about a dozen templates that need to be updated for this that I know of. There are several that's haven't been touched yet. Template:Documentation for example might need to be updated. There are also at least half a dozen media wiki pages (and probably more). Kumioko (talk) 13:07, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

Red X is already in use for Unknown-Class: {{classicon|No}} → . Pinks are not a good idea because these are used for the importance scale. You can see most of the current colours (except those for AL, BL, CL, No, Draft) in the strip at the top of Category:Articles by quality. You can see most of the icons (except that for User) in the list at the top of the documentation of Template:Class/icon (the table towards the bottom is incomplete). --Redrose64 (talk) 13:40, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

There are two unknowns listed, one of them is a question mark, which makes logical sense, since it's an unknown... I don't see how unknown makes sense with an X. Since it uses "no", then this would be none-class?

I suppose modifying the stub-class icon, with a less filled in pie? (1/3 pie?) And Brown? (representing brown wrapping paper, of an article yet to be unwrapped)
