[edit] Protection???

I can't see why this image should be Protected? I would understand a semi-protection to keep it out of the hands of IP's but a complete protection bars all but 3 of WP:FRANCE's members. Please make it only a semi-protect. ChrisDHDR 19:39, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

You should make a request at the WP:RFPP for unprotection. Anyway I was trying to add the Coat of Arms of France[Image:Armoiries république française.svg] to the template, next to the portal. If done correctly it would look like this this --VartanM (talk) 03:49, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request additions to template

I could do it myself, but I would like to request permission to add separate assessment parameters for a work group for Saint Pierre and Miquelon. In so doing, I would also ensure that the FL class would be added, and that in fact all 15 of the quality classes be added to the banner. John Carter (talk) 21:49, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps there should be a general "oversease départements" taskforce? Before that happens, might I suggest that someone actually implements the importance tag for this Project? With 50k articles, a one-dimensional assessment regime isn't particularly helpful - and there's about 2500 articles that already have importance tags even though they don't currently display on the template.

Could be done, although I think of all the major inhabited overseas departments already have established task forces of the regional parent project, whose banners give assessments for the subproject and France as well. Saint Pierre and Miquelon is the only one that doesn't have an extant "regional" or "continental" parent project. But give me a few minutes to set it up, and then tell me if User:John Carter/France looks acceptable. It should be visible in use at User talk:John Carter/France.

Good stuff. If we're going to have all the options listed on the template page like 5-part B assessment (which to be honest I'm not a huge fan of, it sets the bar for B too high) and even if we're not, an innerHTML "Show" drop down would be useful. On SP&M, it's tempting to say that if people "expect" to find the territories in regional projects, then maybe SP&M should join Bermuda as an honorary member of the Caribbean? But to be honest I would expect to find all the main Wiki organisations for handling French territories as part of the France project. Maybe that's because I know enough to know that they're not independent countries, but it seems the natural way to organise them to me. So I'd be tempted just to make provision for Martinique, Réunion etc to give people the option if nothing else. On the other hand, I think that having taskforce importances is an unnecessary complication that could just confuse people - just use the main Project importance, it may not be perfect but it's good enough for setting priorities.

[edit] Categories broken

{{editprotected}}

See eg Talk:List of Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée wines - you've omitted the opening [[ on the Category link for some of the classes such as List, Dab, Cat and so on. FlagSteward (talk) 01:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Done, as far as I can tell. Gimmetrow 02:56, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
