Usage

This template ((WikiProject Taiwan|class=|importance=)) adds articles to Category:WikiProject Taiwan articles. This template is a self-reference. Please add it to the article's talk page. Additional parameters include:

((WikiProject Taiwan
|class = 
|importance = 
|needs-infobox = 
|needs-photo = 
|towns = 
|listas = 
|category = 
))

Parameters

• class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, 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.
• 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.
• 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:Taiwan articles without infoboxes.
• needs-photo – set |needs-photo=yes if the article requires a photograph.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Taiwan.
• 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 Jay Chou, use |listas=Chou, Jay so that the talk page will show up in the C's and not the J'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=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.

Task forces

• towns – set |towns=yes if the article is supported by Taiwanese townships task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Taiwanese townships task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Taiwanese townships articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
