Stop showing the Former Featured Article Candidate icon in the vital article lists

Can you get the bot to stop putting the Former Featured Article Candidate icon first? It’s the only non-grade icon that does this. I got to be honest, I’m not even sure why we’re keeping track of articles that failed to be upgraded to a featured/good article. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 10:59, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Do you mean the icons on the vital article lists? Kanashimi (talk) 22:54, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 23:06, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

I'll see how to do that. I've changed the message and title a bit to make the discussion clearer. --Kanashimi (talk) 01:22, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

I would like to reiterate that my main issue is that the Cewbot keeps putting the FFAC icon first before the actual grade of the article, when it doesn’t do that for the Former Featured Article icon. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 09:22, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

I've changed the position of this icon. Kanashimi (talk) 00:45, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Didn’t mean to have a discussion with a different person on your talk page. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 01:04, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Icon C

I know you’ll still trying to get the Cewbot from putting the FFAC icon first, but we got another problem . The Cewbot is now adding additional C icons to the vital articles list. Now, I’m not sure how, but I think I know what’s causing it. Two days ago @MSGJ made an edit to the template:WP1.0. Now, this is a WikiProject template where you can’t just put a "B" after "class=" and be done with it. You have to add a checklist to the template that shows that you properly assessed the article, otherwise it would give it a C grade. Is there’s a way we can fix this (other than undoing MSGJ’s edit)?

I don't think any of my recent edits changed this behvaiour (although I am ready to be proved wrong). I think {{WP1.0}} always had this B-class checklist attached to it. It can of course be removed if it's not needed. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:22, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, but the evidence suggests you’re last two edits is responsible for the issue we’re having right now. I know that we have had plenty of before (usually because the people who upgrades an article rating keep forgetting to update our WikiProject template), but this is first time I’ve seen a side-by-side. All the articles that have the unnecessary C icon have the WP1.0 template. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 10:25, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Can you link to the page you're looking at please? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:12, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Vital articles/Level/5/Biological and health sciences/Plants. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 17:44, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Okay I can explain what happened. In this edit I changed from using Category:C-Class Version 1.0 vital articles to Category:C-Class vital articles. The reason is that we have two different sets of categories for vital articles so it made sense to consolidate them. If there is B as well, then it's because there is also {{Vital article}} template somewhere else on the page. Ideally there would only be one template populating these categories, which I suggest should be {{Vital article}}. If you agree then we could stop {{WP1.0}} from populating the vital categories. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:57, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Anything to stop this. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 20:19, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Well let me ask a simple question: does every vital article have {{Vital article}} on the talk page? What role does {{WP1.0}} serve in tracking vital articles? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:30, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Yes, every article listed in the vital article project has the Vital Article template. I have no idea what role the WP1.0 template serve in tracking vital articles. I do know that most of the level 5 articles don’t have that template. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 20:57, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Okay I'm going to stop that other template from tracking them then. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:05, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Cewbot, again

I am incredibly sorry for this, but the Cewbot is trying to demote a bunch of level 3 articles. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 20:14, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. Could you describe it more clearly and give some examples? Kanashimi (talk) 23:49, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

Here: [1] [2]. Luckily, it appears to just be a few pages. Eyeluvbraixen (talk) 00:13, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
