Usage
editThis template {{WikiProject California}} adds articles to one or more subcategories of Category:WikiProject California and is a self-reference. Please add it to talk pages of relevant articles and non-article pages.
This template should be transcluded as {{WikiProject California}} and not substituted {{subst:}} because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the WikiProject's talk pages without having to edit thousands of pages individually. For examples of how the template will appear under various parameter scenarios, please see Template:WikiProject California/Example.
The template also employs several optional data field parameters as described below. The full syntax is as follows:
{{WikiProject California
| class =
| importance =
| auto =
| autoi =
| category =
| listas =
| attention =
| unref =
| needs-infobox =
| imageneeded =
| imagedetails =
| in =
| mapneeded =
| mapdetails =
| mapin =
| selected-article =
| selected-picture =
| selected-biography =
| selected-panorama =
| past-collaboration =
}}
Parameters legend
edit- 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. - 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- Use of the above values (or value combinations) with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed California articles.
- autoi – set
|autoi=yesif it is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically prioritized.- This parameter populates Category:Automatically prioritized California articles.
- category – set
|category=noif, 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 Gray Davis, use
|listas=Davis, Grayso that the talk page will show up in the D's and not the G'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. - attention – set
|attention=yesif 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:California articles needing attention.
- unref – set
|unref=yesif the page needs additional references or inline citations. Leave blank or delete if not.- This parameter populates Category:Unreferenced California articles.
- needs-infobox – set
|needs-infobox=yesif the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles.- This parameter populates Category:California articles needing infoboxes.
- imageneeded – set
|imageneeded=yesto request that a photograph, map, drawing, diagram, equation, or other image be added to the page. Leave blank or delete if not.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in California.
- imagedetails – This free-form parameter can be used in conjunction with the imageneeded parameter to add specific details about the images being requested. For example,
|imagedetails=Please add a live-action shot to this sports articlewill add the following to the template display: "An editor suggests the following: Please add a live-action shot to this sports article." - in – Used in conjunction with the
|imageneeded=yesparameter to place the image request into a specific location, such as a California county. For example,|in=Los Angeles County, Californiawill place the article talk page into Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Los Angeles County, California. Leave blank or delete if not. - mapneeded – set
|mapneeded=yesto request that a map be added to the page. Leave blank or delete if not.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested maps in California.
- mapin – Used in conjunction with the
|mapneeded=yesparameter to place the map request into a specific location, such as a California county. For example,|in=Los Angeles County, Californiawill place the article talk page into Category:Wikipedia requested maps in Los Angeles County, California. Leave blank or delete if not. - mapdetails – This free-form parameter can be used in conjunction with the
|mapneeded=parameter to add specific details about the images being requested. For example,|mapdetails=Please add a map to this city articlewill add the following to the template display: "An editor suggests the following: Please add a map to this city article." - selected-article – set
|selected-article=yesif the article is selected on the California portal.- This parameter populates Category:California portal selected articles.
