@Hey_man_im_josh Checking Special:PageAssessments on the wiki, I see the examples you give don't have a "Class" value for WikiProject Lists:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PageAssessments?project=&namespace=0&page_title=List+of+awards+and+honours+received+by+Angela+Merkel

When I examine the wikitext of the talk page, I see:

{{WikiProject banner shell |class=FL|1=
{{WikiProject Lists|importance=Low}}
{{WikiProject National Football League |importance=mid}}
{{WikiProject American football |importance=Mid}}
}}

So it would seem there is a coding error either in Template:WikiProject banner shell or in Template:WikiProject Lists where the assessment isn't getting store for WikiProject Lists. I would suggest contacting authors of those templates and making sure the correct value gets passed to {{#assessment}} parser function.

However, XTools is supposed to show the first non-"Unknown" assessment, so there's still a bug here. Roughly related to T247792.

@MusikAnimal: Looks like it does have to do with the Template:WikiProject Lists. I removed that template from the talk page of List of awards and honours received by Angela Merkel and now Xtools is properly reflecting that the page is a featured list.

Note that this has been resolved on-wiki. It was an issue with the {{WikiProject Lists}} template not having opted into inheriting permissions from the {{Wikiproject banner shell}}. There has since been a fix coded to inherit the permission when it matches one on the WikiProject's assessment scale, even if said WikiProject has not opted in.
