Where to add this template

This template should be added to the Talk page of any Japan-related article. Please post here if you have any questions. --日本穣 06:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Minor clarification: if the article is already part of a descendant project (see WP:JA for a list), do not add this template to the page. --日本穣 21:44, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Changes to this template

Please do not make major changes (removing code, changing formatting, etc.) without discussing it here first. This template affects hundreds (possibly thousands at some point) of pages. Thanks! --日本穣 21:44, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Oops, I may have just violated this directive. I allowed miniaturization & removed a carriage return... I'd prefer if the miniaturization was not reverted, as I've already started using it. Sorry! -- Visviva 02:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem. What do you mean by "miniaturization"? ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 04:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Categorisation

This template currently lists pages in Category:WikiProject Japan articles as well as the quality and importance sub-categories. Is this dual categorisation necessary? It has made the main category extremely large. Road Wizard 07:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Updated template

Per this request I've updated the template to auto-detect if the template has been applied to the talk page of a template or a category. I've also set it up to where only articles in the main space can receive assessment or importance ratings. I've fixed some issues when the small parameter is set. And finally, I moved all documentation to the subpage Template:WikiProject Japan/doc and then trancluded it to the template's page. As a note, I would suggest taking off the todo feature as it causes too many problems in the template. and doesn't seem to be working properly either. --Farix (Talk) 21:49, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

The todo was inconsistent in different browsers. I've fixed it so it looks the same in Mozilla and IE. --Squilibob 06:28, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Can we get the template set up so that if an article is marked "NA" for a rating, it's automatically marked "NA" for importance? I've created Category:NA-importance Japan-related articles to hold anything marked as such, just to be consistent with all the other cats. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 22:37, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

You mean by automatically categorizing it into Category:NA-importance Japan-related articles if the class is set to NA? That shouldn't be hard to do. Just ad the cat to the correct class switch --Farix (Talk) 03:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

A little bit more involved then I originally thought, but done. --Farix (Talk) 03:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

While I was at it, I set it up to where it will do the same thing if class is set to Dab. --Farix (Talk) 04:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Can you do the same for Category and Template? (if it's not already that way) ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 06:28, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I really don't think it is necessary. --Farix (Talk) 13:41, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Request to change template

I feel that this template needs to be changed to be consistent with the {{Football}} template. For an example, please refer to this page. Notice that the Football template is being rated as Cat-Class on the quality scale and this article has been rated as NA-importance on the importance scale. The {{WikiProject Japan}} shows up no options with regards to this. Furthermore, it states that this is a category and is not rated on the assessment scale. Any comments about this would be greatly appreciated. If there is no one who opposes this, I may change this template to be more consistent with the Football template. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 15:12, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

So you're asking for NA importance to be added to the Japan template and the wording for Cat-class to be changed? --Squilibob 01:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

You can already assign NA-importance to pages in article space, but its needless clutter anywhere else. In fact, I'm tempted to not have the importance rating line display if the article is given an NA-importance rating. --Farix (Talk) 01:54, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

As far as I know, assessment and importance ratings only applies to pages in article space and don't apply to project pages, templates, or categories. That is why I coded it to where only pages in article space can be given given an assessment and/or importance rating while have it automatically detect when the template is added to the talk pages of templates and categories, much similar to how Template:WikiProject Anime and manga behaves. Neither Cat-Class nor Template-Class are assessments ratings on the quality scale nor should they be described as such, see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. I also don't know why anyone would set importance on something outside of article space. --Farix (Talk) 01:21, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I would also go on to say that Template:Football is no where near as sophisticated as this template, so to use it as a model would be a very bad idea. You manually have to set the class variable to "Cat" or "Template", and that is just one of the PITAs I see with that template. --Farix (Talk) 01:33, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Besides, why on Earth would it matter if this template is consistent with the Football template? They have nothing to do with each other. I'm not trying to be rude, but if you go through the various WikiProject templates, they're all over the map as far as how they work. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 01:53, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

So, would it be a good idea for the {{Football}} template to be consistent with the {tl|WikiProject Japan}} template? We should have consisteny with regards to ALL templates. Or would it be a good idea for the {{WikiProject Japan}} template to be consistent with the {{Football}} template? Any comments about this would be welcomed. If editors prefer the {{Football}} template to be consistent with the {{WikiProject Japan}} template. I WILL change the Football template to be consistent with the Japanese template. I will also change the other templates to be consistent with the Japaneses one as well. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 03:44, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Al-right, if there are no objections, I will be changing this template to be similar with the {{Football}} template. For a further discussion with this issue, please view this page. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 08:48, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Consistency is a good thing but it should be achieved in civilized way, it means with consensus of WikiProject members. I know you are eager to change this template but give a discussion more time. - Darwinek 09:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Also, could you explain more clearly what you are wanting to do? I'm not fully understanding what you want to do here. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 10:27, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

It's not necessary for all templates to look or behave exactly the same. If WPFootball prefers to have their banner to look and behave the way it does, it's not a problem with us. Nor should it be a problem with WPFootball for WPJapan's banner to look and behave the way it does. --Farix (Talk) 11:37, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Since Siva1979's campaign is affecting more then just Template:WikiProject Japan and Template:Football, perhaps it's best to take it to the Village Pump for a broader community comment? --Farix (Talk) 12:03, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I already started a centralized discussion at the Village Pump to obtain wider input. --Farix (Talk) 13:13, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I have added my comments here. Any thoughts about this would be welcomed. I hope that in the end, a common ground would be achieved here as well. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 17:08, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Request to add parameter "|Tokyo-taskforce"

I would like for someone to add "Tokyo-taskforce" as a flag - if yes the taskforce is indicated WhisperToMe (talk) 05:14, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

You can now add |tokyo=yes to the template and it will add it to the task force category and list it as being under that task force. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 00:36, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Edit request

{{editprotected}} There is an erroneous </noinclude> tag at the end of the template code. Can someone please fix this? PC78 (talk) 22:20, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Fixed by Nihonjoe. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

{{editprotected}} Could the banner be tidied up a bit with some of the unused parameters removed.

The following section should be removed as it's causing the empty collapsed section to show on the template page:

Project Link is broken

{{editprotected}}

Please fix the Project Link, it links to the article Japan instead of WP:WikiProject Japan. Deleting the parameter "PROJECT_LINK" should do it. (This error is evident when the banner is nested in WPBS. 76.66.193.69 (talk) 06:53, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Redirect class

A few days ago Category:Redirect-Class Japan-related articles was deleted at the same time that Redirect-Class was dropped by default from {{WPBM}}, presumably because it was apparent that this project was not using this class. However I believe a bot is going round and tagging redirects ([1] for example). This is just to let you know that if you would like to use Redirect-Class you will need a custom class mask. Please ask if you need help with this. If you don't care about it, then they will stay classified as NA-Class. Regards, — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:40, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

The class has now been resurrected. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

So WPBM now supports it again? ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 15:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

No, but a custom class mask has now been set up on your banner. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:10, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Implementation of photo needed by prefecture

On the sandbox version I've put a possible implementation of what you're trying to do. If you specify the prefecture using the parameter pref-photo, it should put it into the right category. For example

{{WikiProject Japan/sandbox|pref-photo=Aichi}}

produces

I'm sure you can mess around with this to achieve what you want. Feel free to ask me to check your code before implementing on the live version. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:15, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

How do you make it able to handle multiple prefectures? There are some instances where something may be in multiple prefectures (such as a mountain range or national park). ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 09:17, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

You can't. I guess this would be a fairly rare occurence? You could implement a pref-photo-2 parameter on exactly the same lines to allow for a second location. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:18, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

It's uncommon, but not really rare. There is also the default for items which aren't necessarily in a specific location (say a specific model of car, for example). Those would go in Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Japan, so we would need a way to do that. Would adding another note section work, or is there a shorter way by modifying the code to accommodate that? I really appreciate your help with this. :) ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 09:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

It might be simplest to have another note with a general photo parameter for this general category. By the way, imageneeded is a more common parameter name. You might like to think about which names make more sense. Anyway I'm off now and will be back later. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:53, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I've just added the special code for Tokyo and Hokkaido. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:23, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 09:31, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

More generally, the standalone Template:Reqphoto is, I believe, set up to tackle all of these situations. Is there any advantage of having it all in the project banner? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:55, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

It's too generic for this, so we created {{ReqphotoinJapan}} to handle it, but it would be nice to have it all in the project banner. It just makes it easier to have it consolidated. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 18:24, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I've added pref-photo-2 for a second prefecture, and photo for the general photo needed. I've also added the necessary code for the nested taskforced, which was missing from the banner. Is there anything else you need? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:00, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't quite understand why {{reqphoto}} is too generic for this? It would allow an editor to put an article into the proper categories for several prefectures, and also into appropriate subject-oriented categories (e.g. photographs of architecture, of birds, of people, of mountains, etc). I prefer not to use customized photo parameters for different WikiProject templates, because it makes automated analysis more difficult, but I hope this works for WP Japan :-) Tim Pierce (talk) 21:53, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

When the {{ReqphotoinJapan}} and {{ReqphotopersoninJapan}} were created, that template couldn't handle all instances of the requests, so the two mentioned templates were created. Now they are being merged into this template. As they will be categorized, I don't see how automated analysis will be more difficult as counting the articles being categorized will be easy. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 00:30, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

PhotoCatBot periodically crawls through articles that have {{reqphoto}} templates and adds appropriate categories to the template based on which wikiproject it's in. Each wikiproject that implements its own customized photo parameters means that I have to add a different customized rule to the bot, and means that it can't take advantage of the other parameters that {{reqphoto}} does support.

Why? If the time isn't showing correctly for you, you need to clear your cache. It's not a problem with the code which generates the time, but rather a problem with your browser not correctly updating it whenever you load a page with it. If you read the section you link to, you'll see that's what was written there, too. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 06:29, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

It is not a problem with "my" cache or with "my" browser, it is a problem with Wikipedia caching. It is possible to force the time to refresh by getting Wikipedia to purge its cache, but this is quite obviously a ridiculous "workaround" to the problem, and not something that users could possibly be expected to do, or realise that they had to do, in order to get this feature to work. 86.181.174.197 (talk) 11:07, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

well, most of them are never going to see it since most people who use the site never even visit the talk pages. Regardless of that, I've added a purge feature so you can force your browser to behave properly. ···日本穣^? · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 08:57, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Adding "Ainu Task Force" to template?

Greetings, per discussion at WP:JA I've created a page for Wikipedia:WikProject Japan/Ainu task force. Support for TF (and no objections thus far) is here: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Japan#Re-org_at_Category:Ainu.3B_any_interest_in_forming_Ainu_Task_Force.3F

• Please add "|ainu=" to the list of Task Forces falling within WikiProject Japan on this template.

There is a further update in the sandbox adding the relevant categories for the WP1.0 setup. But I am not part of the project - its better someone involved gives the go-ahead. On a sidenote the editor that made the changes made alse the following observation Agathoclea (talk) 17:33, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

All the parameters are lower case so ainu must by input as ainu in order for it to apply to the task force. This also applies to all the other task forces as well. If someone puts it in as Ainu with a capital A then it would not appear. You might want to add Ainu as an alias to allow it to be counted as well. In my experience many people will naturally capitalize the first letter of a place and may not notice it isn't getting picked up. Please let me know if you need anymore help.

No. Task forces can only be numbered 1 to 10. You would need another {{WPBannerMeta/hooks/taskforces}} --Redrose64 (talk) 13:06, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

• Deactivating until you have a usable coding option... Rose, do you think there is enough demand to expand {{WPBannerMeta/hooks/taskforces}} to accept more than 10? Perhaps a conversion to Lua to allow an unlimited number (to prevent degrading performance)? Just some questions / ideas... Technical 13 (talk) 15:50, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

It's been suggested before, and declined. It's not difficult to chain another {{WPBannerMeta/hooks/taskforces}} off the bottom of one that's already there - indeed, {{WikiProject Japan}} does this twice already for a chain of three, which allows for 30 taskforces. The champion is, I believe, {{WikiProject United States}} which has a total of 11 chained together, although it has somewhat fewer than the 110 taskforces that would permit. --Redrose64 (talk) 16:19, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

• Rose, I'm sorry, was that an answer to the first question or second? I'm guessing first, which leaves the Lua option question unanswered, and now that I see the breadth and depth of this, I'm thinking this is a great idea. @Mr. Stradivarius and Theopolisme:, I know you both have at least some experience with Lua, and I know Mr. S has experience with exactly this kind of module, what do you two think about it? Technical 13 (talk) 16:30, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Mostly an answer to the first. But there is also no need to convert to Lua unless there is a demonstrable need to do so: it makes templates much more difficult to debug, and darned-near impossible to work out which parameters are supported when writing the documentation that somebody else forgot to do. Anyway, this should do it. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:14, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

There has been some talk about converting {{WPBannerMeta}} to Lua, and it was decided that a rewrite would be better than a drop-in replacement, due to the template's complexity and the opportunity that we have to simplify things. It would probably be better to focus on that rather than convert all the hook templates. There has been some progress on the rewrite at Module:WikiProjectBanner, but there is still a way to go yet. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 21:47, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

@KylieTastic: Since it's for the Science and technology task force, how about a pic of ASIMO? --Redrose64 (talk) 19:52, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

@Redrose64: - looks like a good enough choice to me - and infinitely better than just leaving the the red-link error. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 19:57, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

OK, Done --Redrose64 (talk) 20:01, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Requested photographs in Hyōgo Prefecture

Using "|pref-photo=Hyogo" puts articles in Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Hyogo Prefecture instead of Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Hyōgo Prefecture. I've fixed those pages but a redirect may be helpful. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:01, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

@Ricky81682: Is there any reason that you can't use |pref-photo=Hyōgo? --Redrose64 (talk) 23:09, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

No particular reason but I suspect it'll happen again. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:17, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Change photo requests to image requests

As part of a nearly-completed shift to distinguish requests for photos from requests for images in general, it is requested that this template be modified to place talk pages in "Wikipedia requested images of..." categories, rather than the old "Wikipedia requested photographs of..." categories. As such, please supplement all references to "photo(s) of..." and "photograph(s) of..." with "image(s) of..." in both the template and its documentation, while maintaining backwards compatibility for the old "photo" parameters. In particular, change "photograph or picture" to simply "image". Note that the "Wikipedia requested images of..." categories have already been created. Thank you! — s w p b ^T 15:22, 7 December 2015 (UTC)
