Description of suggested change:

Most of the entries tagged as "workgroups" used to be subgroups under the broader WikiProject India, but became their own separate WikiProjects years ago. However, it appears that this template has not been updated to showcase that. Implement the following changes would make this template up-to-date and would make it more consistent overall.

@EarthDude, can you make these changes in the sandbox? Sohom (talk) 15:15, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sohom Datta You mean I should rework the template with my suggested edits in my sandbox? — EarthDude (wanna talk?) 16:41, 3 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
