How to use this template

This template is used to tag articles maintained through WikiProject Mountains. Use {{WikiProject Mountains}} on the article's talk page to add it to Category:WikiProject Mountains articles.

Usage syntax:

 {{WikiProject Mountains | class= | importance= |alps=yes | needs-photo=yes | needs-infobox=yes}}

Optional parameters

alps – set |alps=yes if the article is supported by the Alps task force.
- This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Mountains of the Alps articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
- alps-importance (only used if |alps=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within the Alps task force
  - This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Mountains of the Alps articles by importance.
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.
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 Edmund Hillary, use |listas=Hillary, Edmund so that the talk page will show up in the H's and not the E'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.
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.
- This parameter populates Category:Mountain articles without infoboxes.
needs-photo – set |needs-photo=yes to request that one or more pictures be included in the article to improve its quality.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of mountains.
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.

Aliases

The parameters |needs-image=, |image-needed=, |photo-needed= and |image-requested= are recognised as aliases for |needs-photo=. If more than one is present, the order of precedence, from highest to lowest, is: |needs-photo= → |needs-image= → |image-needed= → |photo-needed= → |image-requested= . Parameters with lower precedence are ignored.
