Template:WikiProject Caribbean
The {{WikiProject Caribbean |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, described below. Note that Puerto Rico has its own WikiProject and project banner, {{WikiProject Puerto Rico}}.

Parameters

General

  • class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. 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 it is requested that an image or images be included in this article to improve its quality.
  • 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 Garth Anderson, use |listas=Anderson, Garth so that the talk page will show up in the A's and not the G'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 Enchanted Gardens, Jamaica, use |listas=Enchanted Gardens, Jamaica, The so that the talk page will show up in the E'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.
  • auto – This parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
    • |auto=length – based on the length of the article
    • |auto=inherit – because one or more other projects use this class
    • |auto=yes (or |auto=stub), in conjunction with |class=stub – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template
  • 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.

Nation specific

Territory-specific

Aliases

  • The parameter |BVI= is recognised as an alias for |British Virgin Islands=. If both |British Virgin Islands= and |BVI= are present, |BVI= is ignored.
  • The parameter |BVI-importance= is recognised as an alias for |British Virgin Islands-importance=. If both |British Virgin Islands-importance= and |BVI-importance= are present, |BVI-importance= is ignored.
  • The parameter |USVI= is recognised as an alias for |United States Virgin Islands=. If both |United States Virgin Islands= and |USVI= are present, |USVI= is ignored.
  • The parameter |USVI-importance= is recognised as an alias for |United States Virgin Islands-importance=. If both |United States Virgin Islands-importance= and |USVI-importance= are present, |USVI-importance= is ignored.
