Usage

This template {{WikiProject Cartoon Network|class=|importance=}} adds articles to Category:WikiProject Cartoon Network articles. This template is a self-reference. Please add it to the article's talk page. Additional parameters include:

{{WikiProject Cartoon Network
 |class=
 |importance= 
 |attention=
 |needs-infobox=
 |needs-image=
 |fiction=
}}

General parameters

class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. See the project's quality scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |class= blank or omit the parameter.
importance – valid values are listed in the custom importance mask. See the project's importance scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |importance= blank or omit the parameter.
attention – set |attention=yes if the article needs immediate attention from experienced editors. Use only if another parameter does not cover the need for attention; this should be used sparingly. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.
- This parameter populates Category:Cartoon Network articles needing attention.
needs-infobox – set |needs-infobox=yes if the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles.
- This parameter populates Category:Cartoon Network articles needing infoboxes.
needs-image – set |needs-image=yes if the article needs an image or screenshot to be included to improve its quality.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of Cartoon Network.
fiction – set |fiction=yes if the page describes a work or element of fiction in a primarily in-universe style and may require cleanup.
- This parameter populates Category:Cartoon Network articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction.
listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Craig McCracken, use |listas=McCracken, Craig so that the talk page will show up in the M's and not the C's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add |listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template. For large numbers of such removals, consider making a bot request.
