It would be useful to have a list of the variables. Chadlupkes 15:34, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

This could also add the No Logo category when logo is not specified. TulipVorlax 09:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Categories
We have StringFunctions Now... can we make some better use of parameters here now? Instead of these category1, category2, etc... Can we please now just do a single | category = parameter which accepts a comma separated list of categories and uses the #explode StringFunction to turn that into individual category tags.

If you need proof of how well doing something like that works, take a look at Anime:Negima/Negima!. Hit edit, and scroll down till you see the | genre = parameter. As you'll see, simply with a little comma separated list of genre which is easy for even newbies to input, read, and edit. It automatically turns that into a list of links, and also puts the page into categories. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Nov 12, 2007 @ 08:30 (UTC)

Project templates
I think the project templates would look better just under the "visit..." link instead of outside, (compare: this and this), yes/no? -- Sixorish 15:41, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Css class(es)
Can we make the styling of this templeate a css class? I've been thinking about experimenting with transcluding some wiki description pages to another wiki, and if they use css classes I can customize the look on the wiki they're transcluded onto. Specifically, i'd like to have the main box use one class and the description above the box another (then I can turn one of them invisible if I want). I'd do it myself, but I can't access the common.css file for central. Besides I wouldn't want to risk breaking this template (which is used on so many pages it should be protected anyway). 22:33, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Category:Wikia started by
Why should we NOT add the [ [Category:Wikia started by ]]? --Ans 03:49, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * because there are thousands of wiki pages (over 10k) started by close the same number of people (very very few have founded multiple wikis), so doing that would only server to add close to 10k categories for no real good reason. --Uberfuzzy 04:16, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Who would search for "Wikis by Kjsfndvgncjv" anyway? Most users use make-up identities or nicknames instead of their real names. It wouldn't have any value in research. Wikipedia doesn't have categories called "Firefox extensions by Jim". --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:23, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
