Template:WikiProject England/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject England.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 95,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template is designed for usage on article talk pages where the article in one form or another, relates to England. The full syntax is as follows:

{{WikiProject England |class= |importance= }}
{{WikiProject England |class= |importance= |listas= |needs-photo=}}

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.
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 Samuel Johnson, use |listas=Johnson, Samuel so that the talk page will show up in the J's and not the S'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.
needs-photo – set |needs-photo=yes to request that an image or images be included in the article to improve its quality.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in England.
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 England 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.

Aliases

The parameters |needs-image=, |image-needed=, |photo-needed= and |image-requested= are recognised as aliases for |needs-photo=. If more than one is present, the order of precedence, from highest to lowest, is: |needs-photo= → |needs-image= → |image-needed= → |photo-needed= → |image-requested= . Parameters with lower precedence are ignored.

Example

{{WikiProject England |class=fa |importance=high |listas=Johnson, Samuel }}
