Template documentation

This template is used on approximately 39,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Cycling to keep track of articles within its scope.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject Cycling |class= |importance= }}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.

{{WikiProject Cycling |category= |listas= |class= |importance= |auto= |attention= |needs-infobox= |mtb= |mtb-imp= |tdf= |tdf-imp= |gdi= |gdi-imp= }}

Parameters

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.
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 John Smith, use |listas=Smith, John so that the talk page will show up in the Smith's and not the John's of the various assessment and administrative categories. Similarly, for topics with titles beginning with an article such as "the" or "a" - e.g. for The Matrix, use |listas=Matrix, The so that the talk page will show up in the Matrix's. 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. It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own {{para|listas}} set, since it affects the sortkey of all banners and templates.
class – see #Quality assessment below.
importance – see #Importance assessment below.

Notes and alerts

auto – this parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
- length – based on the length of the article;
- inherit – because one or more other projects use this class;
- yes or stub (in conjunction with |class=stub) – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template.
Use of the above values with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed Cycling articles.
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:Cycling 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:Cycling articles needing infoboxes.

Task forces

mtb – set |mtb=yes if the article is supported by Mountain Biking task force. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Mountain Biking articles by quality based on the |class= parameter.
mtb-imp – This parameter sets the importance of the article according to Mountain Biking task force. It populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Mountain Biking articles by importance. See #Importance assessment for valid values.
tdf – set |tdf=yes if the article is supported by Tour de France task force. This parameter populates Category:Tour de France task force articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Tour de France articles by quality based on the |class= parameter.
tdf-imp – This parameter sets the importance of the article according to Tour de France task force. It populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Tour de France articles by importance. See #Importance assessment for valid values.
gdi – set |gdi=yes if the article is supported by Giro d'Italia task force. This parameter populates Category:Giro d'Italia task force articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Giro d'Italia articles by quality based on the |class= parameter.
gdi-imp – This parameter sets the importance of the article according to Giro d'Italia task force. It populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Giro d'Italia articles by importance. See #Importance assessment for valid values.

Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages

If the |class= parameter is not defined and the WikiProject banner is placed on the talk page of a redirect (in any namespace) or disambigation page then it will automatically be classified as follows:

Redirects will automatically be classified as Redirect-class and placed in Category:Redirect-Class cycling articles.
Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as Disambig-class and placed in Category:Disambig-Class cycling articles.

Classification based on namespace

In addition, if |class= is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.
