Basic usage
{{WikiProject Alabama |class= }}
Full usage
{{WikiProject Alabama |category= |listas= |class= |attention= |Imageneeded= }}
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. - 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, Johnso 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, Theso 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.
Notes and alerts
- 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:Alabama articles needing attention. - Imageneeded – set
|Imageneeded=yesor any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "An editor has requested that an image be added to this article. Please work with WikiProject Alabama to add a suitable image to this article." This will populate Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Alabama.
