A few states missing

Can we fix this up so that putting e.g. will add the project to the California task force or WikiProject California, and likewise for the other remaining states? Some are still missing. {{u|Sdkb}} ^talk 06:43, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

I think the projects for those missing states preferred to have their own banners, such as {{WikiProject California}}, in part because some of them have their own subsidiary projects. This template is also unable, at present, to handle inactive subsidiary WikiProjects, like the {{WikiProject Iowa}} template does, for example. So I would oppose such a change. See discussion two threads above for more on this. UnitedStatesian (talk) 12:40, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

A few years ago, a user normally known as Kumioko (but who also went by various other names) decided to pull in all fifty states plus DC, with the objective of dispensing with the state-specific banners. There was much opposition (you can read some of it in the archives of this page, but it did also reach dramaboards like WP:ANI) and we never did manage to untangle all of the resultant mess.

In short: for any given state, you must make absolutely sure that both WP:USA and the state-specific WikiProject both desire such a merge. If either one objects, don't bother pursuing it. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

I've added WikiProject Iowa to this template. I believe it was the only state that didn't have a working template. If there are missing territories, let me know. Funandtrvl (talk) 22:01, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Request to update the Mississippi template which currently uses the former flag

Please change:

|tf 1 =

|TF_1_LINK          = popflock.com Resource: WikiProject Mississippi
|TF_1_NAME          = WikiProject Mississippi
|TF_1_IMAGE         = Flag-map of Mississippi.svg
|TF_1_SIZE          = x60px
|TF_1_QUALITY       = yes
|TF_1_IMPORTANCE    = yes

to:

|tf 1 =

|TF_1_LINK          = popflock.com Resource: WikiProject Mississippi
|TF_1_NAME          = WikiProject Mississippi
|TF_1_IMAGE         = Seal of Mississippi (2014-present).svg
|TF_1_SIZE          = x60px
|TF_1_QUALITY       = yes
|TF_1_IMPORTANCE    = yes

Mississippi is currently the only state with no flag, so the seal should suffice until a replacement flag is adopted.  Vanilla  Wizard ? 20:24, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Please don't post code blobs on talk pages - instead, make your changes to the template's sandbox - that way it's easy to see the precise change that is desired; see WP:TESTCASES. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:13, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

@Redrose64: Thank you for letting me know that I should have used the template's sandbox page . I have performed this edit there, see the Mississippi section of the template at Template:WikiProject_United_States/sandbox to view the precise change that I am requesting.  Vanilla  Wizard ? 22:26, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Have a look at Template:WikiProject United States/testcases. Does this exhibit the desired changes? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:08, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

@Redrose64:} Yes, this does. Thank you!  Vanilla  Wizard ? 01:01, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

OK then,  Done --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:21, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
