Jh12 is taking a long wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia ... maybe after the boards, perhaps even later.

Hi, Jh12, Welcome to Wikipedia!

[edit] Re: WPSchools template assistance

Hi Jh12. I made a couple of changes to your proposed replacement for {{WPSchool}}:

1. Moved row breaks outside of #if statements
2. Added a row break before the "needs-infobox" row
3. Moved collaborations to subpage: User:Jh12/WPSchoolTest1/Collaborations

The first thing is possible because Mediawiki treats two consecutive "|-" with nothing in between them as if there was not an extra row. This greatly simplifies the creation of conditional rows in wikitables because you make the template much easier to read:

|-
{{#if:{{{param|}}}|
{{!}} Cell 1
{{!}} Cell 2
}}
|-

The missing row break before the "needs-infobox" row would have been a problem, so I added it. Having the collaborations as a subpage means that normal users can edit them without worrying about breaking the template. You will probably want this to be a subpage of Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools for more natural reuse.

Another general tip is that whitespace inside of ParserFunctions calls is stripped at the beginning and end, so I would encourage you to use linebreaks as I did above to increase readability. A pretty good example of a well-developed template that I've worked on is {{WikiProject California}}. It doesn't support needs-infobox, since there isn't a relevant infobox for that category, but it supports similar params that put the article into maintenance categories. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Mike Dillon 18:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:University of Houston Logo 2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:University of Houston Logo 2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] WikiProject Schools Sidebar

Jh12, the sidebar looks great. Nice job. I'd be interested to know how the project status graph is updated. Also, I added some bottom and left margin to it for aesthetics; hope that's okay (if it's not I know what you will do).

[edit] Stowe schools

Jh12, thanks for saving the copy. I'm going to do a bit of research and see if there's enough to do for a Stowe Central School District article. With the celebs that live there I would think there should be some angle. I appreciate the help.

[edit] Template help

Hey Jh12! I've seen your work on the wikiproject school template. I am currently working on another wikiproject banner in my sandbox here. I am having some trouble:

1. I am doing a section about book classification (children's books, picture books etc). In one classification, picture books. The word pic outside of the banner as shown here:

	Children and Young Adult Literature Portal This article is part of WikiProject Children's literature, an attempt to build a comprehensive and detailed guide to children's and young adult literature on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit one of the articles mentioned below, or visit the project page, where you can join the project.
???	This article has not yet received a type classification.
???	This article has not yet received a rating on the quality scale.
???	This article has not yet received a rating on the importance scale.
Tasks you can do: WikiProject Children's Literature Open Tasks Here are some open tasks for WikiProject Children's literature, an attempt to create and standardize articles related to Children's literature. Feel free to help with any of the following tasks. Update: Author Biography articles and write about new books written for children Expand: Subsections of articles relating to Children's Literature Create new articles relating to Children's Literature Add this template ( {{Children'sLiteratureWikiProject}} ) to the talk pages of articles relating to Children's Literature. Expand and Edit Portal:Children and Young Adult Literature Cooperate with Wikipedians belonged to similar WikiProjects Discuss matters involving Children's literature on this wikiproject's talk page Cleanup the Philip Ardagh article. edit

You can see the word pic' on the top left corner.

1. Also I am trying to make a ??? line for the classification when the type isn't type in yet as well but it don't work. Please help. You could edit the template here. Thanks a lot. KGV 09:04, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I've fixed the "pic" issue. The problem was that {{#if:...}} was being used instead of {{#switch:...}}.

I'm going to be away from Wikipedia for a little while since I'm in the midst of moving, so hopefully you can help User:KGV with any more changes that need to be done. If not, try asking at WP:VPT. Mike Dillon 02:29, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ben Franklins School

I havent made the change, but I think its a B Fancy adding a few school assessments? I see you had a hand in the schools template. Can you explain why there are pages that have the template but lack the full definition

Oh and is there any harm in adding the template to a school that has not had one added yet Victuallers 19:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
