[edit]Wikiproject template showing C class article as B class?
[edit]Hi, on the talk page Talk:MV Span Asia 25 I added {{WikiProject Ships|class=C}}. The banner does not however display a C class for the article but B class and warns I haven't checked against the B-class criteria. I think there's a bug in the template.

PS There's also some submersible on the back of the ship, seen in the new photo I added. Anybody have more info about what exactly that is? Is it for hull inspection? Jason Quinn (talk) 12:39, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
- I know this is almost a year later, so if there was a bug it may have been fixed. The rating criteria for WikiProject Ships is a bit stricter than for most other WikiProjects. Per the B-Class checklist documentation, Criteria Nos. 3–5 are required to be completed prior to the assignment of a "C-Class" assessment, and all five are required prior to the assignment of "B-Class". Because the B-class checklist has not been completed, the Start-class rating is forced on Talk:MV Span Asia 25. Harryboyles 03:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
Tilt...?
[edit]Getting multiple B-class preview warnings on talk pages with this template. MSGJ, is it possible you broke something with your edits a couple days ago? - wolf 08:03, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
- Those B-class preview warnings are an expected result of MSGJ's change to remove B-class checklists from WikiProject templates. There was a discussion which closed with consensus to remove the B-class ratings across most WikiProjects (unless a WikiProject opted out of project-independent quality assessments altogether. - Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Council § Determining the future of B-class checklists. (WikiProject Ships was notified about this proposal in October 2023). There's no immediate harm with those warnings - it's just saying that the B-class parameters are no longer recognised.Harryboyles 11:44, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
Update "needs infobox" for point to new template
[edit]Could someone change {{Infobox ship begin}} to {{Infobox ship}} in the source code? Tupsumato (talk) 10:19, 24 January 2026 (UTC)
Needs navbox
[edit]I recommend adding a need navbox parameter so that pages can be identified that need them. Evan.oltmanns (talk) 13:13, 27 January 2026 (UTC)
