List-class articles
[edit]There is no automatic category for List-class politics articles, maybe this should be fixed... - Ilse@ 15:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Bug reports
[edit]There are a couple of bug reports in a template that transcludes this one, that look relevant. Template talk:WikiProject Political parties. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 18:43, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
No importance code for task force articles
[edit]moved from Template talk:WikiProject Political parties and followed up here
(The task force template) also fails for apparently correct importance=low
. The categorization is correct, but the presentation omits the importance. See for example: [1] --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 18:31, 3 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Hroðulf: It was removed at 15:51, 19 February 2015. You should ask Jj98 (talk · contribs), who made that edit, why they "don't care". --Redrose64 (talk) 08:25, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
@Jj98: Does the removal of this parameter affect Wikipedia 1.0 ? Please either restore the importance code to the template, or update the wikiproject and template documentation, and post a bulletin at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics. The relevant documentation pages I checked before I reported this as a bug are at:

Add Gun politics task force. Proposed version can be seen at Template:WikiProject_Politics/sandbox. –dlthewave ☎ 14:47, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
Not done for now: too much regression would result. Please base your changes on the current template, not one that is three years old. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:12, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Redrose64: I've updated the sandbox version with the current template, could you take a look at it again? This is my first template edit so any guidance would be appreciate. Thanks –dlthewave ☎ 01:30, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
- OK,
Done --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:35, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

Task force deprecation
[edit]According to this edit by Mr. Guye (talk · contribs), four of the task forces are defunct, hence the associated parameters are deprecated. Is there a proposal anywhere to remove these parameters from the template proper? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:22, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Redrose64 and Mr. Guye: I just made some changes to the template sandbox on this matter. It would seek to put the defunct task forces into the note section instead of side-by-side with the active ones. Would there be any objection to this change? –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 21:07, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Please sync with Sandbox. I've re-ordered the task forces and added a new WikiProject which has merged with WP:POLITICS –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 15:06, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- MJL, is there any particular reason for the rearrange, or is it just a convenient side effect of adding the new task force? What is the new order, and how is it different from the old? Primefac (talk) 17:48, 11 March 2020 (UTC) (please ping on reply)

Revert
[edit]@WOSlinker: why did you undo your change to this template? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:55, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- @MSGJ: _PAGETYPE_ didn't work in the inactive taskforces section of the template. -- WOSlinker (talk) 19:47, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
- That's true, it won't work with the hooks. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:12, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
Why is this template in Category:Wikipedia substituted templates?
[edit]~ Tom.Reding (talk ⋅dgaf) 21:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- The template transclusion chain goes {{WikiProject Politics}} -> {{WikiProject Politics/doc}} -> {{No subst}} -> {{Never substitute}} -> {{Always substitute|yesnomaybe=never}}. Seems like the naming of Category:Wikipedia substituted templates is somewhat vague and inconsistent with how it is actually populated (templates where a decision on to substitute or not to substitute has been made). It is however distinct from Category:Wikipedia templates to be automatically substituted which is for templates that should be substituted and can be done so by a bot.
