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:

The 11 task forces and/or work groups will automatically collapse if more than one of them is displayed. To change this setting, set or update the |TF_COLLAPSE= parameter.
The 11 notes in this template will automatically collapse if more than 2 of them are activated. To change this setting, set or update the |COLLAPSED= parameter.
This banner template includes a link to Portal:Aviation, and the accompanying image is File:Aviacionavion.png. See the instructions on how to change this.
Automatic parameter checking is enabled and pages with invalid parameters can be found in the tracking category.
There are too many task forces to check the assessment categories for each one, so the following selection have been checked: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11.

Usage

Project banner

The {{WikiProject Aviation}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has some optional ones that add extra features to the banner. The full syntax is as follows:

{{WikiProject Aviation
|class=  
|attention= 
|imageneeded=
|needs-infobox=
|A-Class= 
|collaboration-candidate=
 |current-collaboration=
 |past-collaboration=
|peer-review= 
 |old-peer-review= 

<!-- B-Class checklist -->
| b1 = <yes/no> <!--Referencing & citations-->
| b2 = <yes/no> <!--Coverage & accuracy    -->
| b3 = <yes/no> <!--Structure              -->
| b4 = <yes/no> <!--Grammar & style        -->
| b5 = <yes/no> <!--Supporting materials   -->

<!-- Portals -->
|portal= 

<!-- Task forces (general topics) -->
|Accident=
|Aircraft=
|Airlines=
|Airports=
|Air-sports=
|Biography=
|Defunct=
|Engines=
|Gliding=
|Rotorcraft=
}}

General parameters

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. B-class checklist (available only when |class=stub |class=start |class=c or |class=b):
- B-Class-1 – Referencing and citation (see the project's B-class criteria for details).
- B-Class-2 – Coverage and accuracy (see the project's B-class criteria for details).
- B-Class-3 – Structure (see the project's B-class criteria for details).
- B-Class-4 – Grammar and style (see the project's B-class criteria for details).
- B-Class-5 – Supporting materials (see the project's B-class criteria for details).
- Set these to "yes" or "y" if the article meets the criterion; "no" or "n" if it does not. If the criterion has not been checked, omit the parameter or leave it with a blank value. When |class=b is set, all five criteria need to be satisfied, otherwise the article is treated as if |class=c were set.
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:Aviation articles needing attention.
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:Aviation articles needing infoboxes.
imageneeded – set |imageneeded=yes if the article needs an image (other than a map).
- This parameter populates Category:Aviation articles needing images.
|A-Class= "pass", "fail", or "current" indicates the status of the article's A-Class review; see the review department for more details.

collaboration-candidate – set |collaboration-candidate=yes if the page is a candidate to be the project collaboration.
- This parameter populates Category:Aviation collaboration candidates.
current-collaboration – set |current-collaboration=yes if the page is currently the project collaboration.
- This parameter populates Category:Current aviation collaboration.
past-collaboration – set |past-collaboration=yes (or any non-blank value other than "no", "n", "0" or "¬", such as the dates it was part of the collaboration) if the page was a past project collaboration.
- This parameter populates Category:Past aviation collaborations.

peer-review – set |peer-review=yes if the article is currently undergoing a peer review, or to request that the peer review process for this page should be begun.
- This parameter populates Category:Requests for aviation peer review.
old-peer-review – set |old-peer-review=yes if the article has had a peer review which is now archived.
- This parameter populates Category:Old requests for aviation peer review.
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 Reinhard Heydrich, use |listas=Heydrich, Reinhard so that the talk page will show up in the H's and not the R'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 Airscrew Company, use |listas=Airscrew Company, The so that the talk page will show up in the A'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.
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.

Aliases

The parameters |b1= to |b5= are recognised as aliases for |B-Class-1= to |B-Class-5=. If both |B-Class-1= and |b1= are present, |b1= is ignored; similarly for the other four pairs.

Portals:

- This parameter populates Category:Aviation articles used on portals.

Projects and task forces:

Accident – set |Accident=yes if the article is supported by the Aviation accident task force.
- This parameter populates Category:Aviation accident task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Aviation accident articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Aircraft – set |Aircraft=yes if the article is supported by the Aircraft project.
- This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Aircraft articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Aircraft articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Airlines – set |Airlines=yes if the article is supported by the Airlines project.
- This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Airlines articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Airline articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Airports – set |Airports=yes if the article is supported by the Airports project.
- This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Airports articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Airport articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Air-sports – set |Air-sports=yes if the article is supported by the Air sports task force.
- This parameter populates Category:Air sports task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Air sports articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Biography – set |Biography=yes if the article is supported by the Aerospace biography task force.
- This parameter populates Category:Aerospace biography task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Aerospace biography articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Defunct – set |Defunct=yes if the article is supported by the Defunct airlines task force.
- This parameter populates Category:Defunct Airlines task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Defunct Airlines articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Engines – set |Engines=yes if the article is supported by the Aircraft engines task force.
- This parameter populates Category:Aircraft engine task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Aircraft engine articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Gliding – set |Gliding=yes if the article is supported by the Gliding project.
- This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Gliding articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Gliding articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Rotorcraft – set |Rotorcraft=yes if the article is supported by the Rotorcraft task force.
- This parameter populates Category:Rotorcraft task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Rotorcraft articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
Soviet – set |Soviet=yes if the article is supported by the Soviet aviation task force.
- This parameter populates Category:Soviet aviation task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Soviet aviation articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.
