The {{WikiProject Film}} project banner template should be added (never subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner.

Basic usage

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Film}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):


FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class film articles)		FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class film articles)		A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class film articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class film articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class film articles)		C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class film articles)		Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class film articles)		Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class film articles)		FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class film articles)		List

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:


Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class film articles)		Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class film articles)		Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class film articles)		Draft
FM (for featured media only; adds pages to Category:FM-Class film articles)		FM
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class film articles)		File
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class film articles)		Portal
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class film articles)		Project
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class film articles)		Redirect
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class film articles)		Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class film articles)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed film articles)		???
