[edit] Example

{{Stubclass

|template=WPSesameStreet
|category=WikiProject Sesame Street automatically assessed articles
}}
This article has been automatically assessed as Stub-Class by WikiProject Sesame Street because it uses a stub template.
  • If you agree with the assessment, please remove the {{Stubclass}} template from this talk page.
  • If you disagree with the assessment, please change it by editing the class parameter of the {{WPSesameStreet}} template, removing the {{Stubclass}} template from this talk page, and removing the stub template from the article.
  • This template was nominated for deletion, but the result of the debate was to keep it. (Radiant) 23:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Change PNG for SVG

There is now a SVG version of Image:Nuvola_apps_filetypes.png available. New version is Image:Nuvola_apps_filetypes.svg. Should it be replaced in the template? Richard Thompson (Talk! | Contribs) 15:26, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

It's 7k smaller so it may as well be, I guess. I'll attend to it now. --kingboyk 15:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editprotected Request

{{editprotected}} Could a "Wikipedia:" prefix please be added to the "Project" parameter, so that just typing in the name of the project will provide a link? GrooveDog (talk) 15:39, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Hundreds of uses of this template have the current syntax; they would break if the template changed in this way. — Carl (CBM · talk) 21:00, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Piped category inclusion

On the last run of my both with this template, the category did not "pipe" the article name, instead it left included the talk page in the category and not the article. Suggestions, help, etc.?!  :) SkierRMH 00:43, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

The category is a maintenance category for WikiProjects, where automatically assessed pages can be located. See e.g. Category:Automatically assessed biography articles.
So, your use of the category parameter is wrong: It's not tracking articles, and it's not the name of a stub class category.
Also, WPBio and some other templates have an auto=yes parameter for use instead of {{Stubclass}}. So, the edit I linked to above should have looked like this.
You really ought to use the Kingbotk Plugin which takes care of all the regexes and template logic for you.
Anyway, I'm gonna add to the documentation for this template because it's a bit sparse at the moment. --kingboyk (talk) 15:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
