Usage
[edit]{{WikiProject West Midlands
|class =
|importance =
|imageneeded =
|needs-infobox =
|Birmingham =
|listas =
}}
Parameters
[edit]- Birmingham – set
|Birmingham=yes
if the article is supported by the Birmingham task force. - class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, category, project, template, na (case-insensitive). 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. - Imageneeded – set
|Imageneeded=yes
to request that an image be added to this article.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in the West Midlands (county).
- 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 Matthew Boulton, use
|listas=Boulton, Matthew
so that the talk page will show up in the B's and not the M'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:West Midlands articles needing infoboxes.
- 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.
