Template talk:WikiProject Animation/importance

Edit request on 13 September 2012
Per consensus at Wikipedia talk:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment, please remove the line "|no=yes", as the criteria of "No-importance" has been depreciated. Thanks!

Template-protected edit request on 11 April 2014
Hello! Recently, the parameter Animated was added to the WikiProject Film template, in order to include articles in the Animated films work group. I have started to add the parameter to talk pages, however the articles are not being added to the project with the proper classification, since the Film project does not use the importance parameter. Therefore, they are showing up on the assessment table for animated films as "Other". I understand that this is unique, because it's technically a work group of the Animation project, but none of the other Film task forces use importance.

I wonder if a script can be added, something that would make film articles default to the value of film-importance, if present on the WikiProject Animation template, and default to "NA" if the parameter is not present. Because if an article has both the WikiProject Animation and WikiProject Film banners, the table should ideally reflect the value of the film-importance parameter on the Animation banner. Can it be done?

 * The /importance subtemplate for a WikiProject banner defines a custom scale - the default being top/high/mid/low/NA/unknown. This one exists to allow one additional level: "bottom". The template cannot be used to create links between two WikiProjects. -- Red rose64 (talk) 18:36, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Redrose64, I no longer think that linking the two templates is the solution. I know it probably seems like I'm harping about this, but I'm sure that there is a simple solution to how there articles are classified, in regards to the assessment table for animated films. There should be a way to make the film-importance parameter on the WikiProject Animation banner take precedence, if both the Animation and Film banners are on the same article. If the article only contains the Film banner with the Animated parameter, or if the film-importance does not have a value, then the importance of the article on the assessment table should default to "NA".

 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: That is not the purpose of the /importance subtemplate for a WikiProject banner. All it can do is switch on or off certain importance levels for the WikiProject banner that it is a subpage of (please see the documentation at Template:Importance mask). Template:WikiProject Animation/importance controls the permitted importance levels of Template:WikiProject Animation; Template:WikiProject Film/importance, if it existed, would control the permitted importance levels of Template:WikiProject Film. Each is independent of the other. -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:24, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
