Template:WikiProject Portals/doc: Difference between revisions

Usage

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

{{WikiProject Portals |class= |importance= }}

{{WikiProject Portals |class= |importance= |historical= |small= |listas= }}

{{WikiProject Portals
|class      = 
|importance = 
|historical = 
|small      = 
|listas     = 
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds pages to Category:Portals.

Optional parameters

• class – valid values are category, draft, file, portal, project, redirect, template, 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.
• historical – set |historical=yes if the page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
  • This parameter populates Category:Historical Portal pages.
• 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 The Beatles, use |listas=Beatles, The so that the talk page will show up in the B's and not the T'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.
• small – this parameter is no longer supported and can safely be removed from the template.
• 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.
