Please amend the way this template categorises articles
At the moment it is placing talk pages in categories where they have no business to be. Please fix this. On a broader issue, making the template so complex that other people can't edit it (and indeed telling them not to) is hardly in the spirit that anyone can edit wikipedia. Wikipedia is for everyone, not for computer programmers, and features that work against that are unwelcome. In my opinion the "damage" has already been done when this category was given inappropriate features.

I'm not sure that it is placing talk pages into incorrect categories. Do you have an example? As for the esoteric syntax, that is standard for WikiProject banners. I don't know of a way to make the template do what it needs to do without making the code complex.

This template categorises some articles within the project Netherlands. While this may or may not be ok for the Netherlands Antilles to some level (ie these Caribbean island are part of the kingdom of the Netherlands), the Netherlands project does not use importance levels. Hence this template should under no condition place any article in a WP:Netherlands importance category. It messes up the WP:Netherlands project stats. See the table in:
Wikipedia:WikiProject Netherlands. Can someone please change this either by removing any automatic placement within the Netherlands project, or by making sure it does not carry over importance levels. Thanks

Thanks, the problem is gone (and will be gone from the table as soon as the bot rebuilds the table in a few days).

Change "Category:Unassessed-Class Jamaica articles" to "Category:Unassessed Jamaica articles"? The first does not exist, the second does.
Remove "[[Category:WikiProject Puerto Rico articles|{{PAGENAME}}]]", since WP Puerto Rico does not use a parent category for all its articles (see
Category:WikiProject Puerto Rico)
Shouldn't there be a <noinclude>{{
Pp-template}}</noinclude> at the top, to let people know that it is protected and why?
Thanks. —

Declining, since this sounds more like a bug report than an edit request. If anyone can figure out the exact changes needed to fix the bug though, please re-submit. :) Thanks, --

It seems that C-class was only partially implemented. Can someone please make the following changes?
In the section that begins "<!-- WikiProject Bermuda-->", add this line:
So why are Saint Pierre and Miquelon part of this template? I'm confused. --

Would you please add this nice image to the portal link in the template? It looks so much better than the default icon and it is a featured image on the portal. Thanks!

Could Category:Unassessed-Class France articles be changed to Category:Unassessed France articles in the banner as that's what {{
WikiProject France}} now uses. (It needs doing in 5 places though). Thanks. --

Underneath (quote) "|MAIN_CAT = Latin America articles" (/end quote)
That should be changed to " Cat:Caribbean articles " since it isn't likely these articles are going to be cleaned up under Latin America which is a separate Wikiproject. not to mention "Cat:Latin America" has over 33,000 articles in it it is large enough to be split.

Hi- Could someone add the "pagetype" switch into the Main Text field? Also, in the nested field for U.S.V.I., could you update it to "U.S. Virgin Islands", using periods in "U.S."? (i.e., it's usually "U.S." and "UK", not "US" and "U.K.") Thanks --

I would like the template admins to amend |TF_8_MAIN_CAT=Haiti articles to |TF_8_MAIN_CAT=WikiProject Haiti articles, in my attempt to fully resurrect the Haiti Project. I believe such a move will enable the special attention it needs to flourish and it is better from an overall wiki perspective. Thank you kindly.

Removing fully-independent WikiProjects from this template
Cuba, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, and Grenada are all independent WikiProjects that are using their own banner templates: {{
WikiProject Cuba}}, {{
WikiProject Haiti}}, {{
WikiProject Trinidad and Tobago}}, {{
WikiProject Grenada}}, thus they should be removed as task force parameters of this template. This is similar to the situation of
WikiProject Puerto Rico, which was removed from this template a while back. Task force parameters should only exist for projects that aren't using their own banner templates. Unless anyone objects, I will be migrating all uses of those parameters to the corresponding dedicated WikiProject banners and removing those 4 task forces from this template some time in the next few weeks. For additional context, please see
meta:User talk:Community Tech bot#Current issues in popular pages.

What I'm seeing at present is that Cuba, Haiti, and T&T retain entries, but to their full wikiprojects (as is the case with many others), while Puerto Rico has just gone missing. This is not desirable. Either everything that's not a taskforce/workgroup should be removed, or all the relevant regional wikiprojects should remain listed; don't selectively "disappear" one or a few random ones. —

Cuba, Haiti, and T&T still haven't been migrated (despite multiple Bot requests), which is why they're still included in this template. As soon as they are migrated, they should be removed as well.

Change
tf 6={{{United States Virgin Islands-importance|}}}
→
tf 6={{{United States Virgin Islands|{{{USVI|}}}}}}
and change
tf 6 importance={{{United States Virgin Islands-importance|}}}
→
tf 6 importance={{{United States Virgin Islands-importance|{{{USVI-importance|}}}}}}
Reason: Creating a shorthand. Having to type out "United States Virgin Islands" is so tedious, especially since "USVI" is a very common shorthand. That long parameter name will make it easier for people to tag articles as being under that task force. —Mr. Guye (

The Curaçao option does not yet work. {{WikiProject Caribbean|Curaçao=yes}} Buaidh talkcontribs 01:58, 16 May 2019 (UTC)reply
Well, no; it's not a documented parameter, and that is because it is not part of the template. It was never added to the template, which in turn is because at
#Curaçao above, no consensus for its addition was demonstrated. --

According to
Template:WikiProject Caribbean/class this project is using the B-class checklist. But it was not set up properly apparently. If you remove the b1-b6 parameters from that page they should be classified properly as B-class — Martin (
