Nutshells. More nutshells.
I think there should be a page which collects the "in a nutshell" summaries of all policy/guideline/essays. How could we do it for essays? Ocaasi (talk) 03:20, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Essays banner
I added a "template" importance to the WikiProject banner
Template:WikiProject Essays will impact the bot. I also been busy on other essay related stuff, so please go through my posting history to ensure I didn't screw up. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 08:43, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- As I understand it this project uses "impact" instead of "importance" and they have already evaluated the "impact" of most of the essays that were tagged. — Carl (
Add Cat, Dab, Image, Portal, Project, Redirect, Template WikiProject Essays banner: I'm going to use
Wikipedia:WikiProject_Essays/Categories, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Essays/Resources as the primary way of keeping track of Category, Template, Image, Project, and Redirect talk pages that are part of WikiProject Essays. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 15:09, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- It would make more sense to use the class parameter for that, not the impact parameter. — Carl (
- I agree. The template now uses the impact parameter (importance scale), but not the quality classification, probably to not get into the issue of determining whether an essay is FA, FL, A, GA, B, C, Start, Stub, etc. It would be easy enough to modify the WikiProject Essays banner to allow for only Cat/Category, Template, Image, Project, and Redirect etc class parameters and not include options for FA, FL, A, GA, B, C, Start, Stub, etc. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 17:18, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- Further, perhaps we could just tag the Cat/Category, Template, Image, Project, and Redirect etc pages using impact=NA (e.g., {{tl:essaysort|importance=NA}} )and sort the Category:NA-impact Wikipedia essays page by the first name of the page so that all the categories appear together, all the templates appear together, etc. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 17:25, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
- I think using the NA importance, along with a specific class parameter, makes sense.
