Parent project
I'm uncertain as to whether the WikiProject Vancouver is listed as a parent project. While the Vancouver project has been well established for a long time, it makes no sense that the tail should wag the dog. Vancouver might be the dominant community, but it is still a part of British Columbia, and not the other way around. This should really be the parent of WikiProject Vancouver.

 * WikiProject Vancouver is not a "parent project". Wikipedia did not include the space put further orginally. It has been changed accordingly. Mkdw talk 08:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Is there a "parent" here then? I'm wondering if these work like category trees, i.e., if something is tagged "Vancouver project" does it also need the BC project tag. In other words, is Vancouver Project a sub-project of the BC project (which I assume is a sub-project of the Canada project)? Bobanny 19:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

The banner
Can I add that banner to some articles about Canada that I know don't have it, notably the communities on Vancouver Island, as they are part of Canada, and most of them are rather small and/or stubs. Kaiser matias 07:04, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Go ahead. Mkdw talk 08:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Project Template talk added
Added Template talk:WikiProject British Columbia. First try at this sort of thing. Could someone more knowledgeable check it out? KenWalker | Talk 11:45, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, nothing has gone up in smoke so, with no complaints heard, I am going to continue fiddling with some of this structure. Some of the links under Tools, etc apparently go to places that relate to the project this was copied from. I will go ahead and change them to suit this project, by editing Template:WPBC Navigation creating pages and categories as it goes along. May also move the template instructions as mentioned at Template talk:WikiProject British Columbia Hope I don't mess things up, but it seems to need doing.

 * Be careful not to remove content from talk pages. Thanks. -- Selmo  (talk) 00:25, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Portal Link in municipality infobox
... looks very out of place in article mainspaces and it seems to me that portal information should go on the talk page, or at least be reformatted so that it looks like it's supposed to be in the infobox. Could someone who knows about this sort of thing check it out? Thanks, Bobanny 18:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Second that. British Columbia municipality infobox has been edited to include the portal link by . I'd rather have the portal link in the See also section. --Qyd 23:14, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Provincial templates update
Should the provincial templates be updated with the standard Navbox generic layout? Please comment at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Canada. --Qyd 23:09, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
