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 9 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 5 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:New York (state), and the accompanying image is File:Flag of New York.svg. 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.

Some of the assessment categories required for Housing and Tenant Rights in NY Task Force do not currently exist, and should to be created to avoid redlinks appearing on talk pages. Alternatively, you may need to set or update the |TF_9_ASSESSMENT_CAT= parameter in this template.

The following categories are required for the banner to work correctly. Please either create these categories or adjust the banner so that they are not required.

Parameters

Assessment

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 Jonathan Lippman, use |listas=Lippman, Jonathan so that the talk page will show up in the L's and not the J'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.

This template also handles assessment for WikiProject Capital District, WikiProject Columbia University, WikiProject Cornell University, WikiProject Hudson Valley, WikiProject Long Island, WikiProject SUNY, WikiProject Syracuse, and WikiProject Western New York. Use |Capital=yes, |Columbia=yes, |Cornell=yes, |Hudson=yes, |LI=yes, |SUNY=yes, |Syracuse=yes, and |Western=yes respectively to assess for those projects, and |Capital-importance=value, |Columbia-importance=value, |Hudson-importance=value, |SUNY-importance=value, and |Western-importance=value respectively to assign project-specific importance ratings.

Article issues

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:New York (state) articles needing attention.
needs-geocoord – set |needs-geocoord=yes if the article lacks Geocoordinate data.
- This parameter populates Category:New York (state) articles missing geocoordinate data.

needs-image – set |needs-image=yes to request that an image or photograph be added to the page.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in New York (state).
- topic – use to override the above and instead categorise the request into Wikipedia requested photographs of topic.
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:New York (state) articles needing infoboxes.
unref – set |unref=yes if the article lacks sufficient references and adequate inline citations.
- This parameter populates Category:New York (state) articles lacking sources.

Display

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.
