missing C-class category

{{editprotected}} The template is not evaluating "c" as a category. As per discussion on the project page this should be corrected. The missing code appears to be

Done. --- RockMFR 02:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Importance parameter

Should this not have a field for "importance", as in Template:WikiProject Pornography, and maybe "listas" (not sure if that's necessary or not)? Ty 13:11, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Perhaps we should try to agree a quick "sample" list of articles with ratings to help assessors. Don't know about "listas". Johnbod (talk) 13:41, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is a very useful model for guidance here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Pornography/Assessment, which could be adapted. Ty 13:53, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It would need adapting; it's a very different world! "Under no circumstances should any individual person be assigned top importance" would not work for us I think. Johnbod (talk) 15:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please replace image

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

The current image (File:WPVisualArts.png) should be replaced with its SVG version, File:WPVisualArts.svg. Vector images scale better, and the replacement image provides a more crisp image at 80px. --Gyrobo (talk) 23:55, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:30, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please add portal

Please add {{Portal|Arts}} to this template, below the main portal link for Visual arts. — Cirt (talk) 07:40, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. Use the sandbox. Anomie ⚔ 01:12, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Importance ratings

I've removed this parameter, I hope correctly, as the project has decided more than once that we don't do these. It was added 10 days or so ago. Please don't re-add without discussing at the main project talk page, not here. Johnbod (talk) 13:15, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Concur with Johnbod on this. I don't see the point of importance ratings as they are ambiguous and poorly assigned. VA articles have never had them and have not suffered because of this.freshacconci talktalk 16:05, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Missing importance category

A category of importance is missing. Please add one on.

Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 04:01, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The project decided long ago not to have one, for good reasons - please go away. Johnbod (talk) 11:20, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No its not missing. Christian75 (talk) 07:10, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It is again now. Thanks. I've added a note that this should be discussed at the project before re-adding. Johnbod (talk) 14:42, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please add a parameter for WikiProject Public Art

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

Per the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Public Art § Conversion into task force, could a parameter for WikiProject Public Art please be added to this template, as it has been agreed to convert that project into a task force of WikiProject Visual arts? The desired change has been mocked up in the sandbox so it would be a matter of copying and pasting the code from there. Ham II (talk) 08:41, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Completed. Please update the template documentation as needed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^put'r there 17:18, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Paine Ellsworth and Ham II:

Done, see this edit. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:21, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
