Optional parameters
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. - computer-science – set
|computer-science=yes
if the article is supported by WikiProject Computer science, or|computer-science=no
if not; n.b. the default isyes
.- This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Computer science articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Computer science articles by quality based upon the
|class=
parameter. - computer-science-importance (only used if
|computer-science=yes
is set; uses the same values as|importance=
) – Importance rating within WikiProject Computer science. If blank or omitted, the importance rating set by|importance=
is used.- This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Computer science articles by importance.
- This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Computer science articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Computer science articles by quality based upon the
- computing – set
|computing=yes
if the article is supported by WikiProject Computing.- This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Computing articles by quality based upon the
|class=
parameter. - computing-importance (only used if
|computing=yes
is set; uses the same values as|importance=
) – Importance rating within WikiProject Computing. If blank or omitted, the importance rating set by|importance=
is used.- This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Computing articles by importance.
- This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Computing articles by quality based upon the
- 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 Edgar F. Codd, use
|listas=Codd, Edgar F.
so that the talk page will show up in the C's and not the E'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. - 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 Database articles.
- 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.
