There is an updated template at Template:WikiProject Central America/sandbox which uses WPBannerMeta. Any objections to using it? -- WOSlinker ( talk) 18:28, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
{{ edit protected}} Please see the sandbox for a version with the child WPs updated, the nested parameters and needs-infobox added to the template, to match the other WP templates, like for El Salvador and Costa Rica. Please update to the sandbox version. John Carter had updated the TFs to WPs way back in Feb. 2008. Thanks -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 21:44, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I added the applicable portals to the corresponding projects in the sandbox. Please implement. Kumioko ( talk) 03:44, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Using User:Frietjes's invalid parameter module I updated the code for this template in the sandbox here. Could someone implement please. Catnip the Elder ( talk) 14:21, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
Currently there are 7 country-specific "task forces" that are part of this template. All of them are actually full-fledged WikiProjects (rather than task forces) with their own top-level project pages, and some of them have their own templates: {{ WikiProject Costa Rica}}, {{ WikiProject El Salvador}}, {{ WikiProject Belize}}. In most cases, it makes more sense to use a country-specific template than this one. For example, Queen Elizabeth II has no relevance to Central America other than being the head of state of Belize. Also, it's non-standard to use WikiProjects as task forces. I know there are some other examples of this, but typically every WikiProject uses it's own template, even when there is a hierarchy (as recommended by the WikiProject guidelines). Would anyone object to me creating templates for the remaining projects (Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama) and removing them from this template? Kaldari ( talk) 21:11, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
Unlike other similar templates ({{ WikiProject Africa}}, {{ WikiProject Asia}} {{ WikiProject Oceania}}, {{ WikiProject South America}} and {{ WikiProject Caribbean}}) this template does not support country parameters linking to each country's WikiProject. It would be good if you could implement this function, to establish consistency with other projects, and enable a standard look and feel to Wikipedia. I would like to standardize things using templates, but it's rather difficult when some continents / regions do things one way, while others do it another. Would anyone with access have an interest in bringing this template up to modern standards? Thanks for your consideration. LibraryGeek ( talk) 04:41, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
