 | This WikiProject banner template uses Module:WikiProject banner, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining project banners. Please report any errors or feature requests to Module talk:WikiProject banner. Information or warnings about the template are below:
|
 | This template is used on approximately 32,000 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. |
Usage
Note: The {{WikiProject Animals}} 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 thousands of pages.
{{WikiProject Animals
|class =
|importance =
|needs-taxobox =
|needs-image =
|needs-cleanup =
|attention =
}}
See the WikiProject Animals assessment page for explanations of these parameters.
Parameters
- category – set
|category=noif, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter. - class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, category, disambig, template, 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=yesif 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:Animal articles needing attention.
- needs-taxobox – set
|needs-taxobox=yesif the article needs a taxobox.- This parameter populates Category:Missing taxobox.
- needs-image – set
|needs-image=yesif the article requires an image.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of animals.
- needs-audio – set
|needs-audio=yesif the article requires an audio.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested audio of animals.
- needs-cleanup – set
|needs-cleanup=yesif the article requires cleanup.- This parameter populates Category:Animal articles needing cleanup.
- 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 Carl Linnaeus, use
|listas=Linnaeus, Carlso that the talk page will show up in the L'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.
