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 6 task forces and/or work groups will automatically collapse if more than 5 of them are displayed. To change this setting, set or update the |TF_COLLAPSE= parameter.
The 4 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:Mammals, and the accompanying image is File:Okapi2.jpg. See the instructions on how to change this.

This is the template sandbox page for Template:WikiProject Mammals (diff).

Template documentation

This template is used on approximately 19,000 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 is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Mammals to keep track of articles within its scope. All articles are categorised into Category:WikiProject Mammals articles.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject Mammals |class= |importance= }}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.

{{WikiProject Mammals |category= |listas= |class= |importance= |attention= |needs-image= |imagedetails= |in= |needs-audio= |needs-taxobox= |Monotremes= |MonotremeImp= |Primates= |PrimatesImp= |Rodents= |RodentsImp= |Mustelids= |MustelidsImp= |Pocket-pet= |PocketpetImp= |Bats= |BatsImp= }}

Parameters

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.
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 John Smith, use |listas=Smith, John so that the talk page will show up in the Smith's and not the John'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 Matrix, use |listas=Matrix, The so that the talk page will show up in the Matrix'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. It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own {{para|listas}} set, since it affects the sortkey of all banners and templates.
class – see #Quality assessment below.
importance – see #Importance assessment below.

Notes and alerts

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:Mammal articles needing attention.
needs-image – to request that an image or photograph be added to the page.
imagedetails – additional text to insert before the words "be added to this article" to describe the subject or type of image that is requested.
in – specify the location of the requested image. Will be categorised into Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in LOCATION, where LOCATION is the value of the |in= paramater.
needs-audio – set |needs-audio=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested that an audio file(s) be included in this article to improve its quality." This will populate Category:Wikipedia requested audio of animals.
needs-taxobox – set |needs-taxobox=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested that a taxobox be included in this article to improve its quality." This will populate Category:Missing taxobox.

Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages

If the |class= parameter is not defined and the WikiProject banner is placed on the talk page of a redirect (in any namespace) or disambigation page then it will automatically be classified as follows:

Redirects will automatically be classified as Redirect-class and placed in Category:Redirect-Class mammal articles.
Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as Disambig-class and placed in Category:Disambig-Class mammal articles.

Classification based on namespace

In addition, if |class= is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.

Namespace	Class	Category	Population
User talk	NA	Category:NA-Class mammal articles	23
Project talk
Help talk
MediaWiki talk
File talk	File	Category:File-Class mammal articles	210
