Discussion
Thanks for taking this on. A few notes: &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 23:28, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Please include calls to WikiProject Banners and WPB. These are redirects to Template:WikiProjectBanners
 * Exclude any with the explicit statement no, or replace them with WikiProject banner shell without the collapsed parameter.
 * Retain any other parameter calls, i.e. blp, living, blpo, activepol
 * The redirect target for WPB changed after I filed the BRFA. I will adjust the regex to respect collapsed. All other parameters will be retained. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 05:28, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Updated regex in function details. banner collapsed will be converted to collapsed. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 22:57, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Actually banner collapsed refers to a separate feature which is no longer supported by either template. So this one can just be ignored / removed. Thanks &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:07, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I have updated the regex again. banner collapsed will be retained but ignored. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 05:46, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you. (It might actually make more sense just to remove that unused parameter.) Can we get some BAG attention to this request plase? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:11, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Wasn't the closure of the tfd to redirect instead of delete/merge? -- slakr \ talk / 04:47, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking in. The closure was clarified by . See User talk:Primefac and Template talk:WikiProjectBannerShell &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:46, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
 * , the TFD was closed as redirect, but as a courtesy to I rolled back my change to a redirect, allowing them to delete/redirect via this BRFA. My opinion (expressed in multiple places) still stands that if someone wants to change a particular instance of the shell, they are welcome to do so. I doubt all but a couple dozen of the 5600 uses of this template really need it. If this BRFA is declined I'll simply restore the redirect and users can change the template call as they see fit. Primefac (talk) 22:42, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I can adjust to skip transclusions that have collapsed already specified. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 06:31, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

BAGAssistanceNeeded Can we have a decision on this simple task please? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:28, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

I was hoping with becomes part of AWB's talk age gen fixes. I strongly advice that User:Magioladitis/WikiProjects is loaded to nomralise project banners at the same time. -- Magioladitis (talk) 12:46, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
 * [ 50 edits]. I didn't see any issues. Function details updated to match trial. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 04:25, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
 * I checked a random sample of about 10 and didn't spot any issues either. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:10, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
 * BAG assistance needed If there are no issues/objections could this be approved? Thanks. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 05:33, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
