This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject Home Living.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

When you create or find a new page within the scope of WikiProject Home Living please add any of the following to the top of its talk page:

{{WikiProject Home Living |class= |importance= }}

{{WikiProject Home Living |class= |importance= |needs-infobox= |attention= |listas= }}

{{WikiProject Home Living
|class         = 
|importance    = 
|needs-infobox = 
|attention     = 
|listas        = 
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds articles to Category:WikiProject Home Living articles.

Optional parameters

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:Home Living articles needing expert attention.
class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, category, disambig, draft, file, portal, project, template, na (case-insensitive). See the 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: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the importance scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |importance= blank or omit the 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 Titus Salt, use |listas=Salt, Titus so that the talk page will show up in the S's and not the T'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.
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:Home Living articles needing an infobox.
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.

Example

{{WikiProject Home Living |class=start |importance=mid |listas=Salt, Titus }}
