Template:WikiProject Reference Desk Article Collaboration/doc

Usage edit

When you create or find a new page within the scope of WikiProject Reference Desk Article Collaboration please add one of the following to the top of its talk page:

{{WikiProject Reference Desk Article Collaboration |listas= }}
{{WikiProject Reference Desk Article Collaboration
|listas     = 
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds articles to Category:WikiProject Reference Desk Article Collaboration.

Optional parameters edit

  • original question (unnamed parameter) – add |1= to link to the original Reference Desk question which prompted the creation or enhancement of the page. It is recommended to wait until the question is archived, so the link is permanent. Example: |1=Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Archives/Miscellaneous/2020_January_28#Direct_flights_between_antipodes
  • 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 Chinua Achebe, use |listas=Achebe, Chinua so that the talk page will show up in the A's and not the C'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.
