Usage

edit

This template categorizes pages using assessment grades and importance through built-in transclusion. An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject Indiana}} banner on its talk page.

The following values may be used for the class parameter:

Articles for which a valid class is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Indiana articles. The class should be assigned according to the quality scale.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter:

The parameter is not used if an article's class is set to NA, and may be omitted in those cases. Articles for which a valid importance rating is not provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Indiana articles. The importance should be assigned according to the importance scale.

Importance

Hey, the cat, image, dab, template, and portal class are all calling for an importance rating. There really shouldn't be an importance on those should there? Could someone please fix it to where it doesn't call for it on those? Thanks Joe I 23:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

The template assumes that a {{{class}}} of 'NA' will be used for non-article pages, which removes the request for an importance rating. The behaviour that you're seeing is intentional. (It would be quite hard to modify to act otherwise; one way would be to put a namespace test in each use of {{{class}}}, which would make the template considerably longer (replace each use of {{{class|}}} with {{{class|{{#if:{{NAMESPACE}}|NA|}}}}}.) --ais523 13:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Can "feature list" be added to this template. Currently there is are articles that are "Feature List" status but shows as unassessed. Also, similar to the comments stated above, could the template be altered so tags with a class of category and template are not added to Category:Unknown-importance Indiana articles?
