Template help
Hi, I was comparing WikiProject Scouting with WikiProject Trains to see why the latter had more functionality. Looking at Template:WikiProject Trains/class I see that the trains wikiproject uses both book and redirect under "class." Can you help me update the Scouting template so we get a more detailed assessment? I don't want to mess up the template! Thanks! --evrik (talk) 20:20, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
 * To begin with, you need to create Template:WikiProject Scouting/class - see Template:Class mask/doc. To retain the existing selection of classes but also allow Book and Redirect, it should be set up like this:


 * Having saved it, you'll see a box stating "Some of the categories required do not currently exist, and need to be created", and listing two redlinked categories and . Use the blue "create" link to create those. They should both look like this prior to saving:


 * Having created the two extra categories, change one line in, from  to   You can now start setting redirect - permitted aliases are redir and red.
 * Regarding banners on Book talk pages - an automatic process should fixup these, provided the banners don't have a class parameter - or they do have one, but it's already either blank or set to book. If it's been set to NA, those will need to be fixed manually. -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:51, 8 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for jumping in on this question. Since the class mask template was implemented after the project banner versions that I worked on, I was not as familiar with its usage and would have had to research it first. Slambo (Speak)  23:16, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

LEG
Hi Slambo,

How's it going? I recently posted an article for the Levity Entertainment Group. Now I've come to learn that the company recently changed its name and is now called LEG. Back in 2007, you created the LEG Wikipedia page to redirect to Lea Green railway station. So, of course, I'm wondering if I can reassign that page to the LEG company. Perhaps with a hatnote for the train station? Thanks so much! Qwerty03211962 (talk) 17:35, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
 * We already have Leg (disambiguation). It's not a good idea to have more than one dab page for different capitalisations of the same word. Personally I would amend Leg (disambiguation) as follows: first add a new entry thus:
 * LEG, the name adopted by the Levity Entertainment Group in February 2013
 * amend the entry under Leg (disambiguation) from
 * LEG, Lea Green railway station in St. Helens, Merseyside, England
 * to
 * LEG, the National Rail Enquiries code for Lea Green railway station in St. Helens, Merseyside, England
 * Finally amend to point to Leg (disambiguation). -- Red rose64 (talk) 17:45, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
