[edit] Request for 'Indigenous=yes' to be added to template

WikiProject Indigenous peoples of Australia would like to be able to use the {{WP Australia}} template to help organise related articles. I understand this would be easiest done adding a tag (or whatever) of 'Indigenous=yes' to the template. What are the issues relating to this? Paul foord (talk) 14:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Done. Refer to Talk:Indigenous Australians for a live example. -- Longhair\talk 07:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Non-fair use of copyrighted flag

Image:Australian Aboriginal Flag.svg is a copyrighted image - I doubt using it in Talk: space qualifies as fair use. Andjam (talk) 13:03, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Image removed. What could be used as an alternative image since the flag cannot be used? - 52 Pickup (deal) 13:17, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Documentation Subpage

{{editprotected}} Created a docuemtn subpage at request of talk page header ("This template currently does not have a /doc subpage. If the template has usage instructions, category links or interwiki links on its main page check, these should be moved to a subpage so they can be edited through the template documentation system."). Please change the template from:

[edit] Bug in the template ?

{{editprotected}} Someone from WikiProject Scottish Islands has pointed out that the part around the commment labelled BROKEN: may cause an invalid link to the assessment comments of this template to be displayed. I've seen the problem on Talk:Platypus and fixed it by purging the cache, but it ought to be investigated further. Thank you, Comte0 (talk) 10:48, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

This isn't an immediate change, so I will disable the editprotected request. If a bug is found, and updated code is available, please add an editprotected tag at that time to ask for an admin to copy the code into the template. โ€” Carl (CBM ยท talk) 15:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Demographics

Hi - I need something like this edit for the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Demographics of Australia please --Matilda talk 01:56, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Y Done. Currently configured to use Demographics=yes as the required parameter. Let me know if this parameter needs changing to another preferred option, or if you require any assistance with getting the project off the ground. Cheers. -- Longhair\talk 08:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alter images

{{editprotected}} Image:Melb cbd.jpg needs to be altered to Image:Melbourne_CBD_2008.jpg or similar because it is broken. Image:Corio_Bay.jpg would be better as Image:Waterfront-geelong.jpg. Wongm (talk) 14:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. --- RockMFR 15:05, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
