Template documentation
This is the WikiProject banner template used by
WikiProject Water sports to keep track of articles within its scope.
Basic usage
Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:
((WikiProject Water sports |class= |importance= ))Full usage
It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.
((WikiProject Water sports |class= |importance= |listas= |attention= |RNLI= ))Parameters
- category – set category to "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.
- 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 John Smith, use
|listas=Smith, John so that the talk page will show up in the Smith's and not the John's of the various assessment and administrative categories. Similarly, for topics with titles beginning with an article such as "the" or "a" - e.g. for The Matrix, use |listas=Matrix, The so that the talk page will show up in the Matrix's. 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. It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own ((para|listas)) set, since it affects the sortkey of all banners and templates. - class – see #Quality assessment below.
- importance – see #Importance assessment below.
Notes and alerts
- attention – set attention to "yes" if 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:Water sports articles needing attention.
Task forces
Quality assessment
This project uses Wikipedia's
content assessment scale. Valid values are shown below.
Classification based on class parameter
Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages
If the
class parameter is not defined and the WikiProject banner is placed on the talk page of a redirect (in any namespace) or disambigation page then it will automatically be classified as follows:
Classification based on namespace
In addition, if
class is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.
In all other circumstances, articles will be classed as
Unassessed and placed in
Category:Unassessed Water sports articles.
Importance assessment
