As well as blp and blpo should there be a bdp parameter to accommodate wording for the application of WP:BDP? DeCausa (talk) 07:28, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Use of banner shell in pages with only one project template
editWhat is the point of using banner shell with a single project? This just takes away screen real estate from the WikiProject template for zero benefit. (The page in question certainly does not need a project template anyway). —Kusma (talk) 08:28, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- What real estate does it take away? The only thing it hides is the boilerplate text of

. The project name and its importance rating are still there. Gonnym (talk) 09:04, 31 July 2024 (UTC)- As I said, this text is hidden for no benefit whatsoever. (The project name and importance rating could be hidden with less loss of information). —Kusma (talk) 15:04, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
A related complaint
editThis is dumb. If you want to mandate that every page with a WikiProject banner have it be located inside of a WPBS, then figure out a way to just include it as part of the banners themselves. I don't care about "screen real estate" necessarily, but I do see little point in wrapping a single project banner inside of WPBS and giving a huge warning about it.

- See Module talk:WikiProject banner#Warnings for background. I think the message should be suppressed outside of mainspace. But we are trying to encourage editors to put the rating in the banner shell rather than in the banner — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:56, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
Template:WikiProject Inline Templates not populating WikiProject banners without banner shells
editI've noticed that if Template:WikiProject Inline Templates is the only template on a page and not in the banner shell, it does not trigger Category:WikiProject banners without banner shells. I can't find what is different about this template. Gonnym (talk) 09:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- From the code in Module:WikiProject banner, it looks like the code for detecting the banner shell is only evaluated if the WikiProject template supports class/quality assessments. Both WikiProject Inline Templates and WikiProject Disambig are examples of projects which do not use this, and in these cases the "no_banner_shells" category is not present.

- Thanks for finding out the issue. I wonder if that exception is needed (pages like Category talk:Citation templates take less space with the shell). Gonnym (talk) 14:02, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
- I don't think that distinction was intended. Will look at changing the code ... — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:56, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
Page not being recognized a disambiguation page
editTalk:The Wizard of Oz (disambiguation) and Talk:1st Rank Raju are both disambiguation pages. Both are tagged with the Film and Disambiguation banner templates, but the banner shell does not recognize The Wizard of Oz as a disambiguation page. I can't see what is different here. Gonnym (talk) 08:34, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Problem solved. It contained both templates {{disambiguation}} and {{nickname}}. The first identifies it as a disambiguation page and the second as a set index article. But it can't be both of these, so they were contradicting each other. Because the check for SIA comes before dab, it was identifying this page as an article rather than a dab page — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:51, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Gonnym (talk) 09:14, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
