Template talk:WikiProject Bridges and Tunnels

Implementing "nested" option
editprotected (btw, why is this template protected?)

Please replace the very first line: {| class="messagebox -talk" with the nesting code: {| class=""

Please note the ampersands and copy from this regular page, not the code. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 17:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Yes check.svg|20px]] Done. Also, the template is protected because there are over 600 transclusions of it. Cheers. --MZMcBride 19:06, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

New version of template
Could the Template:WikiProject Bridges article/sandbox version be copied over to Template:WikiProject Bridges article. Thanks. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:20, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ and also moved to a better name. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 19:46, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Template links to a dab page
Please unlink Bridges - it's a dab page. Thanks. 92.4.41.73 (talk) 20:46, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I've changed it to link to bridge. Hope that's okay with you. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:20, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Future -Class needed
Detroit River International Crossing is a prime example of an article that should be assessed as Future-Class: a proposed bridge that hasn't been built yet. Too many details over the near-term will be in flux until the bridge is actually approved, designed and built. Anyway, that's why I assessed that article this way, but the banner doesn't support that classification.  Imzadi 1979  →   18:38, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * In the absence of a QUALITY_SCALE parameter you get the default "standard" scale (see Template:WPBannerMeta). To allow Future-class, you need to create the appropriate subpage Template:WikiProject Bridges/class. If the only extra class that is needed is Future, something like this should do it:


 * You then need to set subpage inside the of Template:WikiProject Bridges. -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:13, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, the subpage is set, so we just need the parameter added to the main template.  Imzadi 1979  →   20:30, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Please add to the template coding to enable Future-Class.  Imzadi 1979  →   20:30, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * QUALITY_SCALE=subpage
 * Yes check.svg Done Sorry it took so long! I skipped about 45 mins worth of watchlist by mistake. -- Red rose64 (talk) 11:06, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries and thanks.  Imzadi 1979  →   14:39, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Portal link
Please add a standard link to the portal, by adding the following lines

|PORTAL = Bridges |PORTAL_IMG = IP tourismus.png

That picture of the stone bridge could be changed to File:P bridge.svg, as I think those kind of icons make the banners look much nicer, plus the width of the photograph is a little much and pushes the gradings wider.

Also, why is this template fully protected?

 * This template is not fully protected, it is template-editor protected, it is used on >5000 pages. Please engage the project talk Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Bridges for a short period to propose the logo change for this project, after consensus (or at least no-objection) reactivate the edit request here. — xaosflux  Talk 22:19, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 21 January 2018 Update info please!
Message from ZACHO per WikiProject Bridges Template --, In accordance with the recent changes to the title, the parameter banner=bridge(s) should be replaced with  and an additional image of a tunnel should be provided. I would do it myself, though there is a, and I'm only Auto-confirmed. I may bring this up @ protection requests (via Twinkle). Thank you. Sincerely, User: Zanygenius(talk page) 20:01, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * ❌ banner does not exist. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 21:20, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Oops, I meant  in this  Wikipedian banner page.
 * Sincerely, User: Zanygenius(talk page) 22:51, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * No, you mean MAIN_ARTICLE, see . The BANNER_NAME parameter must match the actual name of the template.
 * Anyway, I have moved the templates and made some edits consequent on that; I have done nothing about the category names as yet. Nor have I altered the image, since (i) you didn't suggest one; and (ii) there can be only one image.
 * What you can do - whilst I am out at work - is to check it through, and make any amendments that you think might be necessary, at Template:WikiProject Bridges and Tunnels/sandbox. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 12:33, 23 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I've updated the categories. If a new image is wanted, please specify one. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 03:07, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Why have you blanked out the substcheck parameter? It's one of the standard parameters, and the documentation for Template:WPBannerMeta shows it as always being filled in. -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 14:33, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * It serves to show WPBannerMeta/substwarning when the template is subst. That cannot happen when Module:Unsubst is used. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 15:14, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * So where in Template:WPBannerMeta is it advised to use Module:Unsubst? -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 17:07, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Nowhere, but what does that have to do with anything? It is more user friendly — a user attempting to subst ends up with the correct result if the module is used instead of having to fix it when substcheck is used. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 02:40, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

At Template:WikiProject Bridges and Tunnels/class can you change |topic=Bridge to |topic=Bridges and Tunnel. As all the categories have been moved from Bridge to Bridges and Tunnel since 2018. ___CAPTAIN MEDUSA talk  (We are the champions, my friends)  11:20, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
