Template talk:WikiProject Visual arts

missing C-class category
The template is not evaluating "c" as a category. As per discussion on the project page this should be corrected. The missing code appears to be

|c|C=

Thanks Enki H. (talk) 13:41, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. --- RockMFR 02:58, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Importance parameter
Should this not have a field for "importance", as in Template:WikiProject Pornography, and maybe "listas" (not sure if that's necessary or not)?  Ty  13:11, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. Perhaps we should try to agree a quick "sample" list of articles with ratings to help assessors. Don't know about "listas". Johnbod (talk) 13:41, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * There is a very useful model for guidance here: WikiProject Pornography/Assessment, which could be adapted.  Ty  13:53, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * It would need adapting; it's a very different world! "Under no circumstances should any individual person be assigned top importance" would not work for us I think. Johnbod (talk) 15:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Please replace image
The current image (File:WPVisualArts.png) should be replaced with its SVG version, File:WPVisualArts.svg. Vector images scale better, and the replacement image provides a more crisp image at 80px. --Gyrobo (talk) 23:55, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Please add portal
Please add to this template, below the main portal link for Visual arts. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 07:40, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed.

Importance ratings
I've removed this parameter, I hope correctly, as the project has decided more than once that we don't do these. It was added 10 days or so ago. Please don't re-add without discussing at the main project talk page, not here. Johnbod (talk) 13:15, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Concur with Johnbod on this. I don't see the point of importance ratings as they are ambiguous and poorly assigned. VA articles have never had them and have not suffered because of this. freshacconci  talk talk  16:05, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Missing importance category
A category of importance is missing. Please add one on.

 * The project decided long ago not to have one, for good reasons - please go away. Johnbod (talk) 11:20, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * No its not missing. Christian75 (talk) 07:10, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It is again now. Thanks. I've added a note that this should be discussed at the project before re-adding. Johnbod (talk) 14:42, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Please add a parameter for WikiProject Public Art
Per the discussion at, could a parameter for WikiProject Public Art please be added to this template, as it has been agreed to convert that project into a task force of WikiProject Visual arts? The desired change has been mocked up in the sandbox so it would be a matter of copying and pasting the code from there. Ham II (talk) 08:41, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅. Please update the template documentation as needed.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'r there 17:18, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * ✅, see . -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 18:21, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you both! Ham II (talk) 19:05, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
 * thank you for that! and, it's my pleasure!  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'r there 01:39, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Paine Ellsworth: Can you please replace all instances of TF_2 with TF_1 (case must be the same, just numbers different). Just in case it may be the reason WP:RATER isn't working as expected, despite working on WikiProject London which had nothing else different. Basically, I think the script tries to find TF_1, and if it doesn't find one it stops looking further, so better to keep it ordered correctly.

 * ✅.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'r there 17:15, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, WP:RATER now works correctly. Parameters in the same order as they appear in template. To anyone following this: You may need to clear cache/cookies for changes to show up. &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 18:11, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * my pleasure!  Paine  19:35, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Regarding and, were there any instances of public_art beforehand, and have they all been tracked down and amended? -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 12:41, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * All talkspace transclusions were modified by Primefac. I'll modify transclusions in the remaining talk pages later today. &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 12:47, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I fixed everything I found; forgot about Template talk, so thanks for the ping. Primefac (talk) 13:05, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 30 June 2023
Change this to this

Per RfC and subsequent discussion, WikiProject Public Art (uppercase A) was converted to a taskforce of WikiProject Visual arts, and renamed to "Public art" (lowercase a). The |tf parameters were added to this template in 2022, but the relevant pages were just moved. After the template is modified, please let me know so that I can move the categories (from uppercase A to lowercase a). Thanks! &mdash;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 09:12, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * – also updated:
 * File:Auguste Rodin - Penseur.png to
 * File:Auguste Rodin - Penseur.svg.
 *  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 16:49, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
 * @Paine Ellsworth: Thanks a lot. Can you please do one more thing? Please remove all the tf_1 parameters at Template:WikiProject New York City. It links to a dormant taskforce under WikiProject Public Art (which got merged into here). According to the RfC and discussion linked above, dormant taskforces like NYC's are to be deprecated. Only 22 articles were tagged using  of WPNYC. I made a list here. Of them, 11 were not public art, editors probably misunderstood the parameter because it only says "art", not "public art"; 4 did not have the current public art banner, so I added it; 7 had both art=yes, and current public art banner, so I just removed the |art parameter. As of now, tf_1 remains fully unused. Also, please modify the remaining taskforce numbers in numerical sequence. That is because if WP:RATER doesn't find tf_1 in template code, it refuses to recognise tf_2 and beyond. Thanks! &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 20:59, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
