Hi Evad! Thanks for another great, timesaving tool. Two things: (a) When an article is reviewed at AFC and accepted into main space, but no other assessment is made by the reviewer, only {{
WikiProject Articles for creation}} will be added to the talk page. Even if rater_autostartNamespaces = 0;
is set, Rater will then detect the AFC banner and no longer autostarts. Would some kind of "if only found 'WikiProject Articles for creation' then autostartanyway"-exemption be an idea? (b) In
Special:Diff/847566836/847566871 the addition of {{
WikiProject Geology}} caused the concurrent addition of {{
Geology|class=Stub}} under the banner shell. Thanks again,
Sam

Many stub articles include {{ stub}} or some variant. When rating the article as higher than a stub (ex. start or C class) it would be nice if these were removed automatically. LittlePuppers ( talk) 04:29, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
Partly done @
LittlePuppers,
AfroThundr3007730, and
Insertcleverphrasehere: The script will now show a notification when the article has a stub tag, and has a class rating higher than Stub. Automated or semi-automated removal is something I can look at doing in the future. -

Could it be possible to automatically generate the listas parameter for {{ WikiProject Women scientists}}, as it acts like the {{ WP Bio}}s listas parameter.

It may be worth to automatically tick the living box for {{ WikiProject biography}} when the article has Category:Living people. Thanks for a great tool, Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 20:52, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
When I am going through Category:Biography articles without living parameter I might be rating several articles in a short space of time. For the fist few the listas and living are present (and listas autofills), but after around 2-3 articles the rater box does not already include living and listas. There does not seem a obvious reason for this (the class still autofills). There are not any errors in the console which seem to come from rater. Dreamy Jazz 🎷 talk to me | my contributions 09:39, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
I was trying to use the script, but had issues on the MILHIST template. I checked the template data to one that did work (Template:WikiProject_Biography) and one thing I noticed was that the biography template had the values all lowercase, while MILHIST had some with first letter capitalized. Is this what is causing it not to work? If it is, I would assume the MILHIST template would need to be changed, as opposed to the script, right? Thanks! WelpThatWorked ( talk) 20:03, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
Thank you once again for Rater.
On articles where the only talk page banner present is {{
maths rating}}, Rater will autostart if rater_autostartNamespaces = 0;
is set, try e.g.
Mellin transform. I suppose this could be because {{
maths rating}} neither uses
Template:WPBannerMeta nor has a title containing "WikiProject".

Is there a way to exclude the {{ WikiProject Articles for creation}} banner so that the autostart can work if that is the only WikiProject banner on the talk page?

When using Rater on a redirect tagged for RfD, Rater suggests Stub/Low rather than "Redirect"-class. Also "Redirect" isn't an option in the master drop-down (to tag all projects at once). Example czar 16:25, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Is there a way to set up Rater to default remove the auto = stub parameter? Once a person assesses the article, the little robot icon should go away. Abductive ( reasoning) 05:47, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
Useful tool, thanks. One thing that may not be obvious to users, is that changing the importance for projects is not always a good thing when the user has no familiarity with the goals of the project. It looks like the default is low, which is statistically the best option, but I find that some users are arbitrarily changing importance to higher ratings without reference to project guidance. Maybe a warning would help. Not sure what would be best, possibly a popup saying "Are you familiar with this project's priority guidance?"

Little icon in bottom right corner with text "Prediction X (nn%)". I assume this is from ORES, but what does the percentage actually mean? · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 10:39, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Wondering how accurate ORES can be? For example, after doing some cosmetic changes to article Gavinus, Rater still shows class of "Stub".

There are several paragraphs of content, Rater prediction of 71-percent "Stub". JoeHebda ( talk) 15:36, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm currently going through the Biography assessment backlog and this tool is a lifesaver :)... however, it doesn't seem to save any wikiproject's "needs-infobox" parameter.

Splitting this clearly start-class article I'm working on into sections, without adding any new content, was sufficient to change the rater's suggestion from start-class to B-class. CJK09 ( talk) 10:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
It would be great to have a default setting whereby changing one quality assessment for a project in rater changes all of them at once. Whilst importance varies between projects, the quality grading rarely does. Nick Moyes ( talk) 08:03, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
Just to let you know that I have moved and repurposed a category that you created. The new title is Category:Wrapper templates for WikiProject Women in Red.

Are you manually categorising templates into Category:WikiProject banner wrapper templates? I'm just thinking there should be an easy automatic method to do this in WPBM. By the way most of the templates in Category:WikiProject banners with non-standard names are wrapper templates, but I don't think they are all in your tracking category — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 16:43, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Firstly, thanks for this script. This is a very helpful tool.
I know I would not be the first one to ask -- but, I wanted to know how the tool gives out a predicted class for the article. I was working on edits and expansions for Alan Ramsey in preparation for WP:ITNRD and I was surprised to see the tool say that the article was B class or higher. I personally would have tagged it at a C. And, the odd thing was the tool kept saying start class, until I added some details about the subject's prior marriage and boom the tool started suggesting B or higher. (I know, correlation does not imply causality). But, I am curious. Thanks much. Ktin ( talk) 00:03, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

.Template:WikiProject banner shell increases the "expansion depth" by at least 4 in many cases.
In some cases, such as this recent example, adding it will push it over the limit of 40 (see Template:WikiProject banner shell#Limitations and bugs).
Can you have the script check the expansion depth and NOT add the banner if it would push the expansion depth over the limit of 40, or at least alert the user so he can go back and change it manually? davidwr/( talk)/( contribs) 14:59, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

It'd be nice if there was a way to change the quality assessment for all projects at once, rather than having to go through them individually. It's silly that we have a system where an article can be deemed B-class in one project but C-class in another, but we should at least reduce the amount of work that creates. {{u| Sdkb}} talk 05:35, 13 February 2021 (UTC)

People keep using this bot to break the Template:maths rating. I've had to revert about 5 or six breakages due to this bot.

Script-installer doesn't seem to detect the source code in the infobox, and won't show the Install button. I believe it's because you have {{

|assess-date
isn't a part of WPBannerMeta. But I also throw my support for such a parameter, as Venkat TL said, it can categorise really old articles for reassessment. Especially on quality grounds. Many articles undergo heavy editing since last assessment and may actually require to be reassessed. Perhaps a similar parameter for "scheduled assessment date" should also exist for Future-class articles that may go un-reassessed if not for proper categorisation. I too, as Venkat said, would be glad to take up the issue to the appropriate forum where can get more input over this. ---

Recently I stumbled on a solution to keyboard Rater startup.
1. In Vivaldi browser, Settings, Search on "shortcut". Then in the "Keyboard" Section, tick "OFF" setting for "Allow Access Keys". For Chromium browser, skip this step.
2. On my laptop, most Wikipedia shortcut keys work with "Alt-Shift". So for Rater shortcut of "alt-shift-5", I discovered it starts using the right-keypad "5" instead of the keyboard upper row number 5. But Rater only starts if that right-keypad has "NumLock" OFF.

I'm trying to import Rater to ku.wikipedia. It automatically detected the Banner shell template and works well for adding new WPBS but when editing existing pages, It doesn't find localized Wikiproject templates. The search box finds existing templates like "kîproje Kurdistan", somehow "Wî" is getting removed. I tried editing the regex here. Link doesn't point to the line so here is the said regex

Personally, I like Kephir's rater better. That's what I used for years. However, it has not been updated for WP:PIQA (adding class to the bannershell) so it's been suggested to me that I not use Kephir's anymore. I've had both installed for awhile but I've been intentionally choosing to use Kephir's, which I think is faster for the following reasons:
Also, Evad's never saves my preferences for some reason. Anyways, I just thought I'd leave these thoughts here. Thanks.

Rater is a great gadget that helps get talk pages started. When patrolling new pages, often articles are created without a talk page and they lack images, especially BLP articles. It would be great if we could also use Rater to request an image for an article to help speed up the steps in getting the talk page started.
To accomplish this, Rater would incorporate
Template:Image requested ({{Image requested}}
) and its associated parameters. It could be as simple (I say naively) as treating the template as a WikiProject (although this template usually falls outside of the WikiProject banner shell.)
In a similar vein, it would great if Rater had an option to add {{talkheader}}
as well. It could be an option toggled on Rater's preferences panel.
I think this could really enhance editors (especially, new page patrollers) ability to start talk pages.
Please let me know what you think! If Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) is a more appropriate place for this discussion, I would be happy to move the discussion there. Apologies if this has already been suggested and discussed. -- Classicwiki ( talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 10:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Evad! Thanks for another great, timesaving tool. Two things: (a) When an article is reviewed at AFC and accepted into main space, but no other assessment is made by the reviewer, only {{
WikiProject Articles for creation}} will be added to the talk page. Even if rater_autostartNamespaces = 0;
is set, Rater will then detect the AFC banner and no longer autostarts. Would some kind of "if only found 'WikiProject Articles for creation' then autostartanyway"-exemption be an idea? (b) In
Special:Diff/847566836/847566871 the addition of {{
WikiProject Geology}} caused the concurrent addition of {{
Geology|class=Stub}} under the banner shell. Thanks again,

When I am going through Category:Biography articles without living parameter I might be rating several articles in a short space of time. For the fist few the listas and living are present (and listas autofills), but after around 2-3 articles the rater box does not already include living and listas.

I was trying to use the script, but had issues on the MILHIST template. I checked the template data to one that did work (Template:WikiProject_Biography) and one thing I noticed was that the biography template had the values all lowercase, while MILHIST had some with first letter capitalized.

On articles where the only talk page banner present is {{

Useful tool, thanks. One thing that may not be obvious to users, is that changing the importance for projects is not always a good thing when the user has no familiarity with the goals of the project. It looks like the default is low, which is statistically the best option, but I find that some users are arbitrarily changing importance to higher ratings without reference to project guidance. Maybe a warning would help. Not sure what would be best, possibly a popup saying "Are you familiar with this project's priority guidance?"

Firstly, thanks for this script. This is a very helpful tool.
I know I would not be the first one to ask -- but, I wanted to know how the tool gives out a predicted class for the article. I was working on edits and expansions for Alan Ramsey in preparation for WP:ITNRD and I was surprised to see the tool say that the article was B class or higher. I personally would have tagged it at a C. And, the odd thing was the tool kept saying start class, until I added some details about the subject's prior marriage and boom the tool started suggesting B or higher. (I know, correlation does not imply causality). But, I am curious. Thanks much. Ktin ( talk) 00:03, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

|assess-date
isn't a part of WPBannerMeta. But I also throw my support for such a parameter, as Venkat TL said, it can categorise really old articles for reassessment. Especially on quality grounds. Many articles undergo heavy editing since last assessment and may actually require to be reassessed. Perhaps a similar parameter for "scheduled assessment date" should also exist for Future-class articles that may go un-reassessed if not for proper categorisation. I too, as Venkat said, would be glad to take up the issue to the appropriate forum where can get more input over this. ---

It is possible to look at a tag where a sub project importance=low is claimed
however, there is no marking for biota-importance being endtered inside the rater box... JarrahTree 05:15, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
Is there is a way for the script to support {{ Vital article}} template? I was thinking of either converting the template to standardized {{ WPBannerMeta}}, but it would cause a lot of problems for the User:cewbot to update the Vital list. Is supporting the template something that can be easily fixed? CactiStaccingCrane ( talk) 08:47, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
Something broke with my Rater implementation in the last few days. It threw an error and now whenever it loads on a page, the window does not show the entries for editing (though if I "add" an entry and it doesn't show, it'll still write to the page). Posting in case anyone else is having the same issue. czar 04:16, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
I tried installing on Wiki.id, it works except on "Add WikiProject" text box shows "royekWiki..." instead "ProyekWiki..." (missing "P" character on word "Proyek"). Can you help me please? Thanks. Arya 88 ( talk) 15:38, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
Recently I stumbled on a solution to keyboard Rater startup.
1. In Vivaldi browser, Settings, Search on "shortcut". Then in the "Keyboard" Section, tick "OFF" setting for "Allow Access Keys". For Chromium browser, skip this step.
2. On my laptop, most Wikipedia shortcut keys work with "Alt-Shift". So for Rater shortcut of "alt-shift-5", I discovered it starts using the right-keypad "5" instead of the keyboard upper row number 5. But Rater only starts if that right-keypad has "NumLock" OFF.
Details:
Browser - Chromium Version 108.0.5359.71
Browser - Vivaldi 5.5.2805.48 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit)
Skin - Monobook
Laptops - Lenovo Thinkpad E550 and E580
O/S - Linux Mint 19.3 and 20.3
I am glad to have found this solution & thought to share here. JoeNMLC ( talk) 14:22, 19 December 2022 (UTC)

This is just to let people know that a change in Template:WikiProject banner shell and Template:WPBannerMeta was made today that allows people to enter the class rating in the banner shell template, and this will then be inherited by all project banners on that page (unless they have opted out). I'm not sure if any changes to this script will be needed? Regards — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 13:34, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

Just here to follow up on the request to update this script. Edits like these are quite problematic and create rating conflicts. It would be far preferable to update the rating in the banner shell, than encouraging people to rate each separate project — Martin ( MSGJ · talk) 19:58, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, for biography pages with no listas parameter, the RATER tool auto-populates it, which is excellent. However when the parameter is already there but blank, it doesn't. So I tend to remove the parameter, save the edit, then edit again to make it auto-populate. Please could this behaviour be changed? Thank you. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 11:17, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
Recently, an Australian Transport WikiProject ( WP:AUSTS) was set up. There are thousands of articles to add, would it be possible to add a feature in the user settings to add a certain parameter (or multiple) by default such as add “|transport=yes” to the Australia WikiProject by simply visiting the relevant page and clicking one button? Thanks, Fork99 ( talk) 12:21, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
I don't if this would be possible, but it would be really nice if "save" could trigger a reload of the page. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 19:50, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
Sometimes I feel the need to explain the rating changes I'm making with the tool but it doesn't seem to provide a way to do that. Am I missing where this functionality is, or is that not provided? Explaining a change is generally good insurance against it being reverted. Stefen Towers among the rest! Gab • Gruntwerk 22:54, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

For example, this wikicode. If you have 4 wikiproject templates, and there's an extra line break between #1 and #2, currently rater will not see templates below the line break (#2-4). I propose that the bug be fixed, and that rater detect all 4 even with a line break. – Novem Linguae ( talk) 01:57, 14 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm trying to import Rater to ku.wikipedia. It automatically detected the Banner shell template and works well for adding new WPBS but when editing existing pages, It doesn't find localized Wikiproject templates. The search box finds existing templates like "kîproje Kurdistan", somehow "Wî" is getting removed. I tried editing the regex here. Link doesn't point to the line so here is the said regex
/^[Ww](?:P|iki[Pp]roject)/.test(name)
but it didn't help. Any idea how to resolve this issue? Balyozxane ( talk) 18:32, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Personally, I like Kephir's rater better. That's what I used for years. However, it has not been updated for WP:PIQA (adding class to the bannershell) so it's been suggested to me that I not use Kephir's anymore. I've had both installed for awhile but I've been intentionally choosing to use Kephir's, which I think is faster for the following reasons:
Also, Evad's never saves my preferences for some reason. Anyways, I just thought I'd leave these thoughts here. Thanks.

Hi, thank you for all your efforts with this tool! Following on from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#RATER and SI class I wanted to flag that not only does it seem impossible to set a SI quality rating for WikiProject Military history, but the tool seems to want to remove the existing ones. For example, if I try it on HMAS Brisbane. - Kj cheetham ( talk) 21:23, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

I have been notified by two long-term editors in the Women in Red project that Rater no longer allows them to add that project's events since recent changes were made. The templates are now all held at
Template:WikiProject Women in Red and are currently added as, for example {{WIR|306}}

Hi! I'm a new user of rater and I have had a few comments on my edits about needing to add new lines before the pipes and not after them. I didn't change anything in rater and I'm not sure how to do this without going back in to the page after submitting the rating. Is this something that needs to be fixed? Other suggestions? Thanks!

Rater is a great gadget that helps get talk pages started. When patrolling new pages, often articles are created without a talk page and they lack images, especially BLP articles. It would be great if we could also use Rater to request an image for an article to help speed up the steps in getting the talk page started.
To accomplish this, Rater would incorporate
Template:Image requested ({{Image requested}}
) and its associated parameters. It could be as simple (I say naively) as treating the template as a WikiProject (although this template usually falls outside of the WikiProject banner shell.)
In a similar vein, it would great if Rater had an option to add {{talkheader}}
as well. It could be an option toggled on Rater's preferences panel.
I think this could really enhance editors (especially, new page patrollers) ability to start talk pages.
Please let me know what you think! If Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) is a more appropriate place for this discussion, I would be happy to move the discussion there. Apologies if this has already been suggested and discussed. -- Classicwiki ( talk) If you reply here, please ping me. 10:12, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
Heya, I noticed
here that Rater adds the parameter prefix |1=
to the {{
WikiProject banner shell}}. Per
a recent discussion, it is recommended not to use it. While I wouldn't ask that Rater always removes it, perhaps it could just retain the prior state?
