WikiProject Comics template

edit

BattyBot (talk · contribs) recently removed the |B-Class-X= parameters from the {{WikiProject Comics}} ([1]) despite the template itself showing they were still in use. I replaced them IAW the template documentation ([2]), going so far as to include a {{bots}} to preclude the error yet again. Most recently, GoingBatty (talk · contribs) has reverted yet again, saying that The B-class parameters were recently {{diff2|1193582963|removed}} from {{tl|WikiProject Comics}} (as a result of this discussion at WT:COUNCIL). They have now, also, removed the |B-Class-X= code from the template example at Template:WikiProject Comics/doc, to retroactively excuse the bot's edits. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 16:46, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Fourthords: Look at this diff, and you'll see that the B-Class parameters were removed from Template:WikiProject Comics by MSGJ BEFORE my bot's edits to update the talk pages where the template is used. Your reversions led me to notice the documentation was not updated at the same time the parameters were removed from the template, so I manually updated it. (I also asked MSGJ to update the documentation when they update a template.) I'm sorry that my bot edits weren't clear, so I used a more explicit edit summary to explain the removal of the template parameters. Did you have a question about discussion I linked?

I don't have any input or interest about the WikiProject templates or their functionality; I implement them because other editors find utility in them. The above talk-page post was just to clearly explain the recent back-and-forth to other editors, in case our edit summaries were too opaque. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 17:31, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
