Discussion
In this TfD the community overwhelmingly decided to merge the banners into the WikiProject banner stuff. Although that was only to apply to the WPUS50 template, I think the sentiment in that discussion was against having it in a separate banner. Example new usage. In line with that, I'm wondering how your task would add these templates? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 00:19, 9 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the comment. I think we may insert the templates into WikiProject banner shell. Maybe have good idea? By the way, I think using the expression WPUS50 will cause difficulties of related templates if we want to add/remove them later. The problem triggered when I run the task Normalize Multiple issues in zhwiki or jawiki, they allow both  and . So I need to check them both. If the challenge templates are merged to different meta-templates as parameters, the situation will be more complicated. In my opinion,  is better than, for it is easy to search for both humans and bots. Kanashimi (talk) 00:57, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The other templates in that category have been nominated for deletion/merging with their parent WikiProject banners. I think it would be best to wait for the outcome of that discussion first. Primefac (talk) 12:59, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
 * BotOnHold Sure. I will wait for the discussion Templates for discussion/Log/2021 May 10 ending. Kanashimi (talk) 00:23, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

It seems Templates for discussion/Log/2021 May 10 gets no consensus. How about continues this task? --Kanashimi (talk) 01:59, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Given my involvement in the TFD (which I believe is sufficient enough to make me involved in this situation) I will refrain from commenting on this from a BAG perspective, but if the TFD closed with no action taken then I see no reason why the templates shouldn't be used in the appropriate locations.

 * Thank you for the comment. @BabbaQ I will continue the task. BAG assistance needed May I do some test edits? I will insert challenge templates into WikiProject banner shell. Kanashimi (talk) 06:26, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you! BabbaQ (talk) 10:38, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
 * If allowing testing, please give a BotTrial, thank you! Kanashimi (talk) 11:42, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

There are 7 templates in the category, so please do 10 edits per template (if possible). Primefac (talk) 17:06, 1 September 2021 (UTC)


 * There are 6 templates that may insert to talk pages. I will try for these templates. Kanashimi (talk) 21:51, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Please see here. There was an issue when inserting as a hatnote, and the bug was fixed. It seems OK now. Kanashimi (talk) 06:22, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey, would you mind posting a direct link to the diffs in question? The RC link you've posted doesn't show anything. Cheers. Primefac (talk) 06:47, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
