Template:WikiProject Maryland/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please note: The {{WikiProject Maryland}} template should be transcluded and not substituted (subst.) because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit hundreds of pages.

Usage

[edit]
{{WikiProject Maryland
|class                = 
|importance           = 
|attention            =
|needs-infobox        =
|needs-photo          =
|Baltimore            =
|Baltimore-importance =
|Frederick            =
}}

Parameters

[edit]
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • needs-photo – set |needs-photo=yes if you would like to request a photo to be included in the article.
  • 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 Walter Berns, use |listas=Berns, Walter so that the talk page will show up in the B's and not the W'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 Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, use |listas=Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, The so that the talk page will show up in the L'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.
    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.
  • Baltimore – set |Baltimore=yes if the article is supported by the Baltimore task force..
  • Frederick – set |Frederick=yes if the article is supported by the Frederick task force..
