 | This WikiProject banner template uses Module:WikiProject banner, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining project banners. Please report any errors or feature requests to Module talk:WikiProject banner. Information or warnings about the template are below:
|
 | This template is used on approximately 16,000 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
The following is the full syntax used for placing this template on a talk page:
((WikiProject Technology
|class=
|Attention=
|needs-photo=
))
Optional parameters
- 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:Technology articles needing attention.
- 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. - 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 Thomas Edison, use
|listas=Edison, Thomasso that the talk page will show up in the E's and not the T'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-photo – set
|needs-photo=yesto mark the page as needing a photograph.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of technology.
- 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.
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.
