Template talk:WikiProject Food and drink

Poor defaults

This template apparently defaults to add several categories (Food and drink articles needing attention to referencing and citation, Food and drink articles needing attention to coverage and accuracy, Food and drink articles needing attention to structure, Food and drink articles needing attention to grammar, Food and drink articles needing attention to supporting materials, Food and drink articles needing attention to accessibility) unless they are turned off ("=no"), which seems very unhelpful to me. This automatically mis-categorizes hundreds of articles that have no such problems, rendering those categories useless for identifying the ones that do. These categories should remain off by default, unless someone identifies an actual problem that needs attention and adds "=yes". -Jason A. Quest (talk) 14:00, 26 March 2017 (UTC)

regardless of whether future problems will be created, what about the (estimated) 15,000 Talk pages that, from a 2008 bot-created mis-tagging,

is still unfixed? (see 2008 hangover: six tags, 15,000 cases : below) Pi314m (talk) 13:38, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

2008 hangover: six tags, 15,000 cases

The talk pages of aproximately 15,000 articles have the following category tags:

• Food and drink articles needing attention to referencing and citation
• Food and drink articles needing attention to coverage and accuracy
• Food and drink articles needing attention to structure
• Food and drink articles needing attention to grammar
• Food and drink articles needing attention to supporting materials
• Food and drink articles needing attention to accessibility

The problem has gone to HelpDesk, which sent it to BOTREQ, which sent it here, the project talk page. Now what - is there consensus that it's time to fix this, as good citizens, so that those tags mean something, after those places having all six together are fixed? Pi314m (talk) 13:38, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

@Pi314m: This isn't the project talk page, which is at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink. You should really link back to the places where you've already posted about this, such as Wikipedia:Bot requests#Find all six tags and remove all six of them - otherwise, people are going to call WP:MULTI or WP:FORUMSHOP, something like that. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:27, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Anyway, it's much easier to understand what you are talking about if you use a template link the category, you can use {{cl}} or {{clc}} - the latter shows the page counts, as follows:

• Category:Food and drink articles needing attention to referencing and citation (0)
• Category:Food and drink articles needing attention to coverage and accuracy (1)
• Category:Food and drink articles needing attention to structure (0)
• Category:Food and drink articles needing attention to grammar (0)
• Category:Food and drink articles needing attention to supporting materials (0)
• Category:Food and drink articles needing attention to accessibility (0)

As for why there are so many pages in all of these categories - it's because they have not been assessed against the B-Class checklist. Go to any page in the category, locate the WikiProject Food and drink banner, in that you should see a line saying "This article has not yet been checked against the criteria for B-Class status:" - to the right of that there is a "[show]" link - click that. For example, to get a page out of Category:Food and drink articles needing attention to referencing and citation, you would need to add |b1=yes to the {{WikiProject Food and drink}}. See for example Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Food and drink/Archive 16#Question concerning checking an article (History of the hamburger) against B-class criteria.

Relevant edits include:

• 01:59, 12 November 2009 by Jerem43 (talk · contribs), which first added the B-class checklist, criteria 1 to 5 only
• 03:48, 1 March 2010 by Jerem43 (talk · contribs), which added criterion 6
• 19:27, 30 April 2010 by WOSlinker (talk · contribs), which put it into {{WPBannerMeta/hooks/bchecklist}} for extra flexibility
• 21:56, 21 September 2012 by Jj98 (talk · contribs), which set the category names given above

No bot was involved, and it certainly didn't happen "back in 2008": once the WikiProject banner was so modified in 2009-12, the categories populated automatically. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:28, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

• I just noticed (at Talk:Manny's Deli that the lack of an assessment for the B-Class requirements populates an article into these six categories, regardless of whether it deserves to be there. We already have Category:Food and drink articles with incomplete B-Class checklists, which should adequately cover the non-assessed articles. Category:Food and drink articles needing attention to referencing and citation and similar categories should be reserved for those articles where a reviewer has indicated that there is a problem. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:16, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Nomination for merger of Template:WikiProject Breakfast

Template:WikiProject Breakfast has been nominated for merging with Template:WikiProject Food and drink. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Thank you. 65.92.244.127 (talk) 05:28, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Edit request

Please indicate the merger request. Please add

{{subst:tfm}}

As this is to merge with two other templates, {{WikiProject Bacon}} and {{WikiProject Breakfast}} (into this one), the {{tfm}} banner doesn't seem to support multiple sources, so use the bare {{subst:tfm}}. -- 65.92.244.127 (talk) 05:38, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

 Done I used Breakfast as the parameter because that is the heading of the discussion — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:51, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

Edit request - Michelin Guide

To add the Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink/Michelin Guide task force

|tf 15 = {{{Michelin|}}} |TF_15_LINK = Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink/Michelin Guide task force |TF_15_NAME = the Michelin Guide task force |TF_15_IMAGE = Michelin Guide logo.svg |TF_15_QUALITY = yes |TF_15_ASSESSMENT_CAT = Michelin Guide articles |TF_15_MAIN_CAT = WikiProject Michelin Guide articles

Thanks for submitting this request ---Another Believer _(Talk) 03:58, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

@Tbhotch:  Not done: please make your requested changes to the template's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. Code blobs pasted into talk pages can be hard to follow, and cannot be tested directly. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:38, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

@Redrose64: I added this code (not the code above) to Template:WikiProject Food and drink/sandbox and it works correctly at Template:WikiProject Food and drink/testcases. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 18:44, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

 Completed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 16:24, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

To editor Tbhotch: curious – don't you also want a |tf 15 importance = {{{importance|}}} parameter? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 16:44, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

I'd need to discuss it with the project first in case there would be a criteria. (CC) Tbhotch^™ 17:13, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

got it. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:44, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
