Canadian articles needing infoboxes
Hi there! Although this template doesn't support |needs-infobox=
, Category:Canadian articles needing infoboxes exists. Should the parameter be added, or should the category (and subcategories) be deleted? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 16:22, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
- Deleted as per MOS:INFOBOXUSE. Moxy-

Description of suggested change: Much like what is already in {{Template:WikiProject United States}}, Could provincial/territorial WikiProject importance be added as a parameter so that (for example) certain articles that would be considered Top-importance in a province/territory yet lower (mid-high for ex.) Canada-wise could be correctly specified? This is already being done for cities that have WikiProjects and it would be incredibly helpful if the provinces/territories also had their own importance rating as well. Thanks!
Diff: all province/territorial-specifying parameters (example "on=") would also have a specifying importance parameter (example "on-importance=")

Not done for now: B3251 please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the
{{Edit template-protected}}
template. Consensus should probably be reached at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canada to make sure that the WikiProject wants to maintain that parameter. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 17:59, 11 April 2024 (UTC)- I need help creating a consensus-based proposal. I don't know how to do it. B3251 (talk) 20:29, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: This is completely different from my requested edit above. I've noticed that "TF_(number)_MAIN_CAT = WikiProject (wikiproject) articles" is included in only a limited number of WikiProjects and I'd like to request for it to be added to either the rest, to the provincial WikiProjects, or at least New Brunswick (the project I work on).
Adding this will place all articles under a WikiProject into their respective WikiProject article categories. Currently, most WikiProject article categories are empty (such as the one I actively work on, see Category:WikiProject New Brunswick articles). Leaving these categories without their respective articles causes issues such as JL-Bot's WP:RECOG tool not working (see Wikipedia:WikiProject New Brunswick/Recognized content). I would like to request for, in this example, " |TF_4_MAIN_CAT = WikiProject New Brunswick articles" to be added in the template in order to allow for tools such as RECOG to work.
Please let me know if I need consensus on this. Thanks. B3251 (talk) 14:59, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've added it for New Brunswick. Not in principle opposed but I think it would make more sense to wait for a need to pop up before adding it to all 30 task forces indiscriminately. * Pppery * it has begun... 03:09, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Much appreciated, Thank you. B3251 (talk) 19:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Province parameters
The two letter abbreviations for provinces are capitalised (for example "MB" for Manitoba), yet the template allows only lower case ("mb"). Would it possible to amend the template to also accept upper case for the province parameters? --Jameboy (talk) 12:26, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
