Template:WikiProject Antarctica

Template documentation

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Antarctica to keep track of articles within its scope.All articles are categorised into Category:WikiProject Antarctica articles.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject Antarctica |class= |importance= }}

Full usage

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

{{WikiProject Antarctica |category= |listas= |class= |importance= |attention= |needs-infobox= |needs-photo= |Adelie= |Argentina= |Australia= |Brazil= |British= |Chile= |Norway= |Ross= }}

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:Antarctica articles needing attention.
• 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:Antarctica articles needing infoboxes.
• needs-photo – to request that an image or photograph be added to the page.

Task forces

• Adelie – set |Adelie=yes if the article is supported by Adelie Land work group. This parameter populates Category:Adelie Land articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Adelie Land articles by quality based on the |class= parameter. This parameter uses |Adelie-importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:Adelie Land articles by importance.
• Argentina – set |Argentina=yes if the article is supported by Argentine Antarctica work group. This parameter populates Category:Argentine Antarctica articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Argentine Antarctica articles by quality based on the |class= parameter. This parameter uses |Argentina-importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:Argentine Antarctica articles by importance.
• Australia – set |Australia=yes if the article is supported by Australian Antarctic Territory work group. This parameter populates Category:Australian Antarctic Territory articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Australian Antarctic Territory articles by quality based on the |class= parameter. This parameter uses |Australia-importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:Australian Antarctic Territory articles by importance.
• Brazil – set |Brazil=yes if the article is supported by Brazilian Antarctica work group. This parameter populates Category:Brazilian Antarctica articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Brazilian Antarctica articles by quality based on the |class= parameter. This parameter uses |Brazil-importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:Brazilian Antarctica articles by importance.
• British – set |British=yes if the article is supported by British Antarctic Territory work group. This parameter populates Category:British Antarctic Territory articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:British Antarctic Territory articles by quality based on the |class= parameter. This parameter uses |British-importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:British Antarctic Territory articles by importance.
• Chile – set |Chile=yes if the article is supported by Antarctic Chilean Territory work group. This parameter populates Category:Antarctic Chilean Territory articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Antarctic Chilean Territory articles by quality based on the |class= parameter. This parameter uses |Chile-importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:Antarctic Chilean Territory articles by importance.
• Norway – set |Norway=yes if the article is supported by Norwegian Antarctica work group. This parameter populates Category:Norwegian Antarctica articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Norwegian Antarctica articles by quality based on the |class= parameter. This parameter uses |Norway-importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:Norwegian Antarctica articles by importance.
• Ross – set |Ross=yes if the article is supported by Ross Dependency work group. This parameter populates Category:Ross Dependency articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Ross Dependency articles by quality based on the |class= parameter. This parameter uses |Ross-importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:Ross Dependency articles by importance.

Quality assessment

This project uses Wikipedia's content assessment scale. Valid values are shown below.

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 Antarctica articles.
• Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as Disambig-class and placed in Category:Disambig-Class Antarctica 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	Icon	Class	Category	Population
User talk		NA	Category:NA-Class Antarctica articles	5
Project talk
Help talk
MediaWiki talk
File talk		File	Category:File-Class Antarctica articles	19
TimedText talk
Category talk		Category	Category:Category-Class Antarctica articles	1,596
Portal talk		Portal	Category:Portal-Class Antarctica articles	0
Template talk		Template	Category:Template-Class Antarctica articles	174
Module talk
Draft talk		Draft	Category:Draft-Class Antarctica articles	7

In all other circumstances, articles will be classed as Unassessed and placed in Category:Unassessed Antarctica articles.
