Substituted templates

When this template is substituted, from e.g. Template:WikiProject Kentucky, it includes blank parameters for category and class. Wouldn't be it better if it didn't include them by default? The category parameter should be rarely needed, and the class parameter ideally isn't needed going forward either given WP:PIQA. -Kj cheetham (talk) 21:22, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kj cheetham: That's a modifiaction that you need to make to Template:WikiProject Kentucky, not this one. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:25, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

@Redrose64: Ah yes of course, my mistake. In that case to implement what I was originally thinking would mean changing a lot of wrapper templates, and I suspect the hassle isn't worth the benefit, so I'll leave it. -Kj cheetham (talk) 13:42, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

@Kj cheetham I removed all the category and class substitutions from wrappers of this template except for {{WikiProject Iowa}} and {{WikiProject New Orleans}}, the former of which was template protected and the latter of which I could not figure out how it worked.

Minor edit request for WP Louisville

I'm the maintainer for the subject project and for overall project cleanup purposes have recently revised our project icon to use File:Fleur-de-lis-3d-2.png instead of File:Fleur-de-lis-3d.png. Could a template editor please make this change in the WP US? Not a high priority. Thanks. Stefen Tower_{s among the rest!} ^{Gab • Gruntwerk} 09:26, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@StefenTower:  Done --Funandtrvl (talk) 21:04, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

New parameter

Hello @Funandtrvl! So I found an inactive taskforce page Wikipedia:WikiProject Jewish-Americans which was, by the looks of it, abandoned mid-creation due to the creator suddenly abandoning Wikipedia. Since I have an interest in Jewish-American history and culture, I decided the page can be tidied up and added to the appropriate articles.

One issue the creator had was with parameters. I tried to add them too but I'm afraid I can't figure it out at all. If you can be so kind to help put in the |Jewish-Americans=yes and |Jewish-Americans-importance= to {{WikiProject United States}} and we can, hopefully, get this up and running.

Any advice on how to spoof up and integrate the taskforce into the WP:USA would also be welcome. I tried at the talk page but I didn't get any response from anyone. Omnis Scientia (talk) 08:52, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm adding fully protected template, I may not be able to get to this right away, thanks! --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:07, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for the response! :) And no worries either. Omnis Scientia (talk) 19:28, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

I see no difference between the present template and its sandbox. Therefore,  Not done: please make your requested changes to the template's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. Please note, this is not an assurance that I will implement any proposed changes. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:11, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

@Redrose64, sorry, I don't understand. Would appreciate some guidance. Thank you! Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:17, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

You requested an edit. But you have not put your proposed edit into the template's sandbox, let alone demonstrated it at the testcases page. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:50, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

@Redrose64, Ah alright, I see now. Thank you for your response. This is my first time requesting such an edit so I didn't know the procedure. Will do that and then return here. Omnis Scientia (talk) 21:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

@Redrose64, hello there. I've edited the sandbox and also demonstrated it at the testcase page as you have asked. I hope I did it right. Omnis Scientia (talk) 20:29, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
