Template:WikiProject Evolutionary biology

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

Template documentation

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

Basic usage

{{WikiProject banner shell |blp= |class= |listas= |
{{WikiProject Evolutionary biology |class= |importance= |category= }}
}}

Parameters

importance – see #Importance assessment below.
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.
