== The images of televisions ==
== Requesting change, add Dexter, Reality television, Broadcast engineering and technology and Veronica Mars task forces ==


Dear authors of this template, thank you very much for this template! A suggestion for improvement: is the vintage style of the images of televisions in this template intentional? In my opinion, in the future, images of current TVs should be used instead. Best regards, – [[User:Gebu|Gebu]] ([[User talk:Gebu|talk]]) 21:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

{{edit protected|answered=yes}}
Some changes where made, including the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Prison Break task force|Prison Break task force]] which I've added though the banner in the [[Template:WikiProject Television/sandbox|sandbox]], which was previously a WikiProject and converted into a task force of [[WP:TV]] back in 2008, due to the that shows should no longer have their own WikiProjects. In addition, I've fixed some of the coding for the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Broadcast engineering and technology task force|Broadcast engineering and technology task force]] and changed from WikiProject Avatar: The Last Airbender articles and The Amazing Race work group articles to Avatar: The Last Airbender task force articles and The Amazing Race task force articles, and replaced the image for Veronica Mars task force.

Anyway, I reverted someone else's change that was deleting an image, and merged others' draft changes that were adding "see the docs for how the template works" instructions, in two different places (and removed the misleading claim in that material that template docs are "guidelines"). Your ''Lost'' code was used as-is. I've re-set the sandbox page to the code of the live template after integrating these updates. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family:'Trebuchet MS'"> — [[User:SMcCandlish|'''SMcCandlish''' ☺]] [[User talk:SMcCandlish|☏]] [[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|¢]] ≽<sup>ʌ</sup>ⱷ҅<sub>ᴥ</sub>ⱷ<sup>ʌ</sup>≼ </span> 19:47, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

== Copyedit request: 1/3/18 UTC ==

Hi! I noticed two problems with the prose in this template, and I would greatly appreciate if someone who 1) has template editor privileges and 2) is familiar with the source code of this template (I fail both criteria) could fix those problems. Below, I will list what problems I have noticed, so that hopefully someone can help fix them.

Upon placing this template in an article, the following text appears at the top of the template:
<blockquote>This article is within the scope of '''[[wikipedia:WikiProject Television|WikiProject Television]]''', a collaborate effort to develop and improve Wikipedia articles about [[Television program|television programs]]. If would like to participate, please visit the project page where you can [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television|join the discussion]]. To improve this article, please refer to the [[wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television|style guidelines]] for the type of work.</blockquote>
The changes that I would like to make (with the removals bolded and the additions underlined) are listed below:
*Copyedit 1: "a collaborat'''e''' effort" should be changed to "a collaborat<u>ive</u> effort".
*Copyedit 2: "If would like to participate" should be changed to "If <u>you</u> would like to participate".
Thus, the final output text would look like this:
<blockquote>This article is within the scope of '''[[wikipedia:WikiProject Television|WikiProject Television]]''', a collaborative effort to develop and improve Wikipedia articles about [[Television program|television programs]]. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page where you can [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television|join the discussion]]. To improve this article, please refer to the [[wikipedia:Manual of Style/Television|style guidelines]] for the type of work.</blockquote>

As stated above, if someone could implement those changes, I would greatly appreciate that!

Thanks!

== Edit request 23 May 2023 addition of Welsh task force ==
== Proposal to remove attention parameter ==

I'm proposing the removal of the {{para|attention}} parameter from this template. When set, the article gets placed in [[:Category:Television articles needing attention]] but here it ends. There is absolutely nothing here that says what exactly does this article need and the scope of the category is just too general. In addition we have [[:Category:Television articles needing expert attention]] which is also too too general in scope in my opinion, but at least the template it works from [[Template:Expert needed]] has a {{para|reason}} field. Instead we have better specific categories already in place:
* [[:Category:Television articles that need a character section]]
* [[:Category:Television articles that need a production section]]
* [[:Category:Television articles that need a response section]]
* [[:Category:Television articles that need a synopsis]]
* [[:Category:Television articles that need an episode list]]
* [[:Category:Television articles without infoboxes]]
* [[:Category:Television articles needing references]]

If none of this fit, and we really need something (though, at this point it seems that "Attention" just means "Help me make this article better" which is really not a place of a tag), then Template:Expert needed should be enough. --[[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 13:20, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

{{u|Gonnym}}, you just wiped out a bunch of changes I made, which I'll give you I probably shouldn't have done since I forgot you already sandboxed it, but I notice that you've not included support for the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/British television task force/Channels|channels]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/British television task force/Shows|shows]] task forces. Are there plans to fold these in as well, or did I just miss something obvious? [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 19:32, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

The images of televisions

[edit]

Dear authors of this template, thank you very much for this template! A suggestion for improvement: is the vintage style of the images of televisions in this template intentional? In my opinion, in the future, images of current TVs should be used instead. Best regards, – Gebu (talk) 21:42, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I actually like the vintage TV sets (and VCRs, etc.!) --Funandtrvl (talk) 04:55, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The banner meta template doesn't work like that. I believe the correct thing to add would be
 |tf 2                  = {{{Welsh-television|}}}
  |TF_2_LINK            = Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Welsh television task force

  |TF_2_QUALITY         = yes
