At the moment it is placing talk pages in categories where they have no business to be. Please fix this. On a broader issue, making the template so complex that other people can't edit it (and indeed telling them not to) is hardly in the spirit that anyone can edit wikipedia. Wikipedia is for everyone, not for computer programmers, and features that work against that are unwelcome. In my opinion the "damage" has already been done when this category was given inappropriate features. LukeHoC 19:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
{{ editprotected}} This template categorises some articles within the project Netherlands. While this may or may not be ok for the Netherlands Antilles to some level (ie these Caribbean island are part of the kingdom of the Netherlands), the Netherlands project does not use importance levels. Hence this template should under no condition place any article in a WP:Netherlands importance category. It messes up the WP:Netherlands project stats. See the table in: Wikipedia:WikiProject Netherlands. Can someone please change this either by removing any automatic placement within the Netherlands project, or by making sure it does not carry over importance levels.

When an article uses the parameters class=C
and Aruba=yes
, the article's talk page appears in
Category:Unassessed Aruba articles and
Category:Unassessed Netherlands articles instead of
Category:C-Class Aruba articles and
Category:C-Class Netherlands articles. –

Would you please add this nice image to the portal link in the template? It looks so much better than the default icon and it is a featured image on the portal. Thanks!

Could Category:Unassessed-Class France articles be changed to Category:Unassessed France articles in the banner as that's what {{
WikiProject France}} now uses. (It needs doing in 5 places though). Thanks. --

Underneath (quote) "|MAIN_CAT = Latin America articles" (/end quote) That should be changed to " Cat:Caribbean articles " since it isn't likely these articles are going to be cleaned up under Latin America which is a separate Wikiproject. not to mention "Cat:Latin America" has over 33,000 articles in it it is large enough to be split.

Hi- Could someone add the "pagetype" switch into the Main Text field? Also, in the nested field for U.S.V.I., could you update it to "U.S. Virgin Islands", using periods in "U.S."? (i.e., it's usually "U.S." and "UK", not "US" and "U.K.") Thanks --

I would like the template admins to amend |TF_8_MAIN_CAT=Haiti articles
to |TF_8_MAIN_CAT=WikiProject Haiti articles
, in my attempt to fully resurrect the Haiti Project. I believe such a move will enable the special attention it needs to flourish and it is better from an overall wiki perspective. Thank you kindly.

09:01, 14 September 2017 (UTC)Cuba, Haiti, Trinidad and Tobago, and Grenada are all independent WikiProjects that are using their own banner templates: {{ WikiProject Cuba}}, {{ WikiProject Haiti}}, {{ WikiProject Trinidad and Tobago}}, {{ WikiProject Grenada}}, thus they should be removed as task force parameters of this template. This is similar to the situation of WikiProject Puerto Rico, which was removed from this template a while back. Task force parameters should only exist for projects that aren't using their own banner templates. Unless anyone objects, I will be migrating all uses of those parameters to the corresponding dedicated WikiProject banners and removing those 4 task forces from this template some time in the next few weeks. For additional context, please see meta:User talk:Community Tech bot#Current issues in popular pages. Kaldari ( talk) 17:26, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

Change
tf 6={{{United States Virgin Islands-importance|}}}
→
tf 6={{{United States Virgin Islands|{{{USVI|}}}}}}
and change
tf 6 importance={{{United States Virgin Islands-importance|}}}
→
tf 6 importance={{{United States Virgin Islands-importance|{{{USVI-importance|}}}}}}
Reason: Creating a shorthand. Having to type out "United States Virgin Islands" is so tedious, especially since "USVI" is a very common shorthand. That long parameter name will make it easier for people to tag articles as being under that task force. —

The template has a duplicate "TF_5_NESTED" parm error which is causing havoc in Category:Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls.
Near the bottom, the line:
|TF_5_NESTED = Turks & Caicos Islands
should be:
|TF_6_NESTED = Turks & Caicos Islands
