Books Template‑class | |||||||

I had this edit made via a request, and I see it has been changed to |needs-infobox-cover (from |needs-photo) to be consistent with Template:NovelsWikiProject. But you can want other photos from a book besides just the cover. For example, The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals by Darwin needs both a cover photo and some photos from the book (which is PD, of course; this doesn't apply so well to non-PD books). So I think a 'needs-photo' should be used instead of or as well as a 'needs-infobox-cover' (probably as well). Richard001 ( talk) 03:57, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
I made a navflag for this project {{ Books portal}}...though I considered "BooksPortal"...I could not find a standard, but Tennis just redirected one to the other. Could someone add the flag to this page? (replacing the Portal|Books|(image) at the top...) Mjquin_id ( talk) 00:54, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
I've got an updated template at Template:WPBooks/sandbox which uses WPBannerMeta. Any objections to using it? -- WOSlinker ( talk) 08:52, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Could template be changed to use {{pagetype|{{{class|}}}}}
& new QUALITY_SCALE settings as per the
edits in the
sandbox. Thanks --

Requested edit to implement the changes in the sandbox
[1] which expand the wording a bit and add flags to better handle the different classes (so it will no longer call a template or Wiki talk page an article, for example). Based on {{
Films}}, and updated to use the Class switches as well. Tested in several project spaces and all seems good. --

|class=A
on a template, it's still a template!) — Martin (

Done. If you have any further suggestions for improvements to {{ pagetype}} by all means take it to Template talk:Pagetype. Cheers — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 14:08, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
There is a funny with the template when parameter |small=
yes (or anything other than "no"/blank). The banner box is rendered in small and floated right (as intended), but the text "yes" appears immediately after the title. The text is still "yes" even when parameter |small=
dummy. (The text "yes" does not appear after the title when the banner is non-small.) You can see this on the doc page at
Template:WikiProject_Books/doc#Example 2: Full.

Hi all. I'm trying to pull together the articles on bookbinding to get a sense of what the level of coverage is, the general degree of quality, etc. The simplest way to do this seems to be to tag them as a subset of WikiProject Books; is there any objection to my setting up a task force through this template to do so?

I'm in the early stages of developing a Lua-based replacement for {{ WPBannerMeta}}, and I would appreciate peoples ideas for features. If there is anything that you have wanted to do with your WikiProject template, but haven't been able to due to limitations in the meta-template, I would be very interested to hear it. The discussion is over at Template talk:WPBannerMeta. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 12:25, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
I am wondering why "WikiProject Books" needs to be italicised in the first sentence of this template? Other WikiProject talk page templates don't have this. -- Jameboy ( talk)
