Usage

edit

When you create or find a new page within the scope of WikiProject Rocketry please add any of the following to the top of its talk page:

{{WikiProject Rocketry |class= |importance= }}
{{WikiProject Rocketry |class= |importance= |needs-infobox= |needs-image= |topic= |attention= |listas= }}
{{WikiProject Rocketry
|class         = 
|importance    = 
|needs-infobox = 
|needs-image   = 
|topic         = 
|attention     = 
|listas        = 
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds articles to Category:WikiProject Rocketry articles.

Optional parameters

edit
  • 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.
  • 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 listed in the custom importance mask. 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 Robert H. Goddard, use |listas=Goddard, Robert H. so that the talk page will show up in the G's and not the R'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-image – set |needs-image=yes to mark the page as needing an image or photograph to improve its quality.
  • 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.
  • topic – set |topic=biography if the topic of the page is biography.
  • topic – set |topic=rocket if the topic of the page is rocket.
  • topic – set |topic=rocket engine if the topic of the page is rocket engine.
  • topic – set |topic=spaceport if the topic of the page is spaceport.
  • 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

edit
  • The parameter |needs-expansion= is recognised as an alias for |attention=. If both |attention= and |needs-expansion= are present, |needs-expansion= is ignored.
  • The parameter |image= is recognised as an alias for |needs-image=. If both |needs-image= and |image= are present, |image= is ignored.
