Template documentation

This template is used on approximately 9,400 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.

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject AfroCreatives to keep track of articles within its scope. All articles are categorised into Category:WikiProject AfroCreatives articles.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject AfroCreatives |class= |importance= }}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.

{{WikiProject AfroCreatives |category= |listas= |class= |importance= |auto= |attention= |needs-image= |type= |details= |location= |topic= }}

Parameters

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.
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 John Smith, use |listas=Smith, John so that the talk page will show up in the Smith's and not the John'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 Matrix, use |listas=Matrix, The so that the talk page will show up in the Matrix'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. It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own {{para|listas}} set, since it affects the sortkey of all banners and templates.
class – see #Quality assessment below.
importance – see #Importance assessment below.

Notes and alerts

auto – this parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
- length – based on the length of the article;
- inherit – because one or more other projects use this class;
- yes or stub (in conjunction with |class=stub) – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template.
Use of the above values with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed AfroCreatives articles.
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:AfroCreatives articles needing attention.
needs-image – to request that an image or photograph be added to the page.
type – overrides the default text (an image or photograph); also used to categorise the request.
details – additional text to insert before the words "be added to this article" to describe the subject or type of image that is requested.
location – specify the location of the requested image. Will be categorised into Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in LOCATION, where LOCATION is the value of the |location= paramater.
topic – specify the topic of the requested image. Will be categorised into Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of TOPIC, where TOPIC is the value of the |topic= parameter.

Classification based on namespace

In addition, if |class= is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.
