Template:WikiProject Wales/doc

Usage

The {{WikiProject Wales|class= |importance= }} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. The full syntax is as follows:

{{WikiProject Wales
 |class         = 
 |importance    =
 |attention     =
 |imageneeded   =
  |imagedetails =
 |mapneeded     =
  |mapdetails   =
 |needs-infobox =
 |listas        = 
 |biota         = 
 |biota_importance = 
}}

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.

Article assessment parameters

• class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, na (case-insensitive). 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: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). 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.

Project work parameters (set them to "yes" to include them)

• 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:Wales 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:Wales articles needing infoboxes.
• biota – set |biota=yes if the article is supported by WikiProject Biota of Great Britain and Ireland.
  • This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Biota of Great Britain and Ireland articles.
  • biota_importance (only used if |biota=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within WikiProject Biota of Great Britain and Ireland
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Biota of Great Britain and Ireland articles by importance.

Miscellaneous maintenance parameters (set them to "yes" to include them)

• imageneeded – set |imageneeded=yes to mark the article as needing an image.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Wales.
  • imagedetails (appears only if |imageneeded=yes) – Additional details to describe the image that is requested.
• mapneeded – set |mapneeded=yes to mark the article as needing a map.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested maps in Wales.
  • mapdetails (appears only if |mapneeded=yes) – Additional details to specify the kind of map information that is needed.

Template display formatting parameters

• 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 Aneurin Bevan, use |listas=Bevan, Aneurin so that the talk page will show up in the B's and not the A'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.
