Template:WikiProject Textile arts
 | The WikiProject banner below should be moved to this template's talk page. If this is a demonstration of the template, please set the parameter |category=no to prevent this page being miscategorised. If this message appears on the template page itself, please check that the value of the |BANNER_NAME= parameter is correctly set to Template:WikiProject Textile arts. |

 | This template is used on many 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
To add an article to our worklist, put this template at the top of the article's talk page with the following parameters:
{{WikiProject Textile Arts
|class=
|importance=
}}
where class is chosen from this assessment scale, and importance is the importance within textile arts according to this scale. Comments that explain the rating may be added by clicking on the link within the template; other comments and questions belong on the Talk page of the article itself.
There are, in addition, several optional arguments that you may use with this template:
{{WikiProject Textile Arts
|class=
|importance=
|attention=
|listas=
}}
Optional parameters
- class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, category, template, na (case-insensitive). See the 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 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:Textile Arts articles needing attention.
- 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 William Morris, use
|listas=Morris, Williamso that the talk page will show up in the M's and not the W'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. - 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.
Editing this template
As of September 2006, this template is used on hundreds of Wikipedia articles, so that damage to this template will have wide-ranging effects. Unfortunately, the template is also difficult to edit properly, since it uses rather complicated parser programming. Please use the utmost caution when changing this template.
