Template:WikiProject Punk music/doc

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 Punk music
 |class=XXX
 |importance=YYY
}}

where class is chosen from this assessment scale, and importance is the importance to the topic of punk rock 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 Punk music
 |class=XXX                           Described above
 |importance=YYY                      Described above
 |listas=ZZZZ                         Lists the page by an alternate name in categories, etc.
 |attention=yes                       Marks the article as in need of immediate attention
 |needs-infobox=yes                   Marks the article as in need of an infobox
}}

Optional parameters

• attention – set |attention=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:Punk music articles needing attention.
• class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. 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.
• 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 Henry Rollins, use |listas=Rollins, Henry so that the talk page will show up in the R's and not the H'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 Clash, use |listas=Clash, The so that the talk page will show up in the C'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.
  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:Punk music 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.
