Usage edit

This template categorizes pages using assessment grades and an importance scale, through built-in transclusions. An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject Venezuela|class=|importance=}} talk page banner.

{{WikiProject Venezuela
|class=
|importance=
}}

Note: this template should not be substituted (subst:) because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages, without having to edit hundreds of pages.

Parameters edit

  • class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, category, disambig, draft, file, portal, project, template, 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.
  • auto – This parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
    • |auto=length – based on the length of the article
    • |auto=inherit – because one or more other projects use this class
    • |auto=yes (or |auto=stub), in conjunction with |class=stub – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template
  • autoi – set |autoi=yes if it is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically prioritized.
  • 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 Juan Vicente Gómez, use |listas=Gómez, Juan Vicente so that the talk page will show up in the G'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.
