"Category"-class and "list"-class

Some other templates have a List-class (see Category:List-Class_articles), others have a Category-class (see Category:Category-Class_articles). In the cycling project, we don't have them. I would like to have them. All Category-class articles now are rated NA, and list-class articles are 'lost' in the rating process. I looked in the template itself, but it looks really difficult, so I'm afraid to mess something up... --EdgeNavidad (talk) 07:19, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't see this before. It's not too hard to do, will look at this later. Severo^TC 15:57, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Switch to meta template with greater support for the requested class categories. Severo^TC 08:54, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not done:. The proposed changes would break the template pretty hard. Suggest first doing some sandbox testing to get proper parameter names fixed up. Cheers. lifebaka++ 13:26, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{editprotect}} I'm slightly confused as to how this would "break the template pretty hard". It completely replaces it with the meta template. I wasn't actually completely explicit in what I wanted changed - basically replace the whole code with all the following code. I have tested this and haven't found anything untoward. If you have noticed anything, place be explicit. We can do without all the fields at the bottom though.

Future Class

Same deal. I'm trying to create Category:Future-Class Cycling articles. There are more than 50 subcategories to Category:Future-Class articles, and I really think a cycling subcat is a fitting one. But I can't get articles to get into the category through the use of this template, so I think an edit is necessary. I'm not sure what that edit is, though, so hopefully someone can help me.

Done Edit was needed to {{WikiProject Cycling/class}}. Severo^TC 08:46, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Gee...thanks. And here I was hoping to get one of the people who came by previously to help you face_palm. No, seriously, thanks. Nosleep ^{break my slumber} 09:13, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Subst check

{{editprotect}} Can we please add

|substcheck=<includeonly>{{subst:</includeonly><includeonly>substcheck}}</includeonly>

as per Template:WPBannerMeta/doc#Simple options to guard against substitutions rather than transclusions. The documentation has it just under

|BANNER_NAME = Template:WikiProject Cycling

Thanks, Severo^TC 16:50, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Done, banner all up to date :) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 17:05, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mountain Biking task force support

{{editprotect}} I propose adding the following the cycling template. I added the |tf group on, which provides support for the Mountain Biking task force within the Cycling Project. This will allow that task force to group and categorize its articles within Cycling. See the Cardiology task force's use of WP:MED's template for an example of how this will work. The parent wikiproject's banner (Cycling) will not change, except that for mountain biking articles there will be an additional line of text stating that it is supported by the mtn. biking task force. The extra lines below allow the mountain biking task force to use the same bot Cycling does to group articles based on quality and importance.

Andyo2000 (talk) 18:03, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved your code to the sandbox version. The syntax is fine. Are you sure you want to use the MAIN_CAT as well as the separate quality/importance categories? ~~This version might help you to create all the necessary categories.~~ Struck because I realise that you have the categories, so I have fixed your code to use an assessment category of "Mountain Biking articles" rather than "mountain biking articles" — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:48, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, I might suggest that a parameter of "mtnbk" might be hard to remember. What about "mountain"? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As you didn't reply I used my initiative. The parameter is mtb - let me know if you want this changed. The {{WPMB}} is now using this template, so you can continue to use that one as a shortcut. (But the needs-photo note will no longer work because this one doesn't have such a note.) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks pretty good, and yes, the mtb parameter is fine. Thank you. Andyo2000 (talk) 13:54, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trying to add importance assessment

As we're one of the only Projects that doesn't have one. As suggested here, the edit seems to be

|QUALITY_SCALE         = extended
|class=

to

|QUALITY_SCALE         = extended 
|class= 
|importance=

Hopefully it can be figured out what needs to be done. Alex finds herself awake at night _{(Talk · What keeps her up)} 08:57, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Trial and error on widely-used templates is not a good idea. Try reading the documentation at {{WPBannerMeta}} to figure out how to add importance support, then update and test the sandbox accordingly. Once you're sure the sandbox works as intended, then we can change the template. Skomorokh, barbarian 15:41, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea how to read the absolute schlock of code in this template. None. Thanks anyway. Alex finds herself awake at night _{(Talk · What keeps her up)} 07:09, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Picture

The image for the MB task force has been taken offline. I found this image to change it to: File:Cycling hardtail sil.gif.

Thanks. Andyo2000 (talk) 14:25, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An alternate is the mountain biking version of the main picture: File:Cycling (mountain biking) pictogram.svg Severo^TC 22:55, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Per this request at WP:VPT. I'm unsure how to code this to allow the parameters to become live. Any help would be grateful. The Cricket Project's template might help with the syntax - {{WikiProject Cricket}}. Thanks. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 20:04, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done There are a few importance categories that need creating, as you'll see in the message on the template page. -- WOSlinker (talk) 20:34, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
