Template:WikiProject Physics/doc

Usage

To add an article to the list, simply add the template to the talk page of the article with the following parameters:

{{WikiProject banner shell|class=|listas=|
{{WikiProject Physics|importance=}}
}}

• class – This WikiProject follows Project-Independent Quality Assessment. Please add valid |class= values to {{WikiProject banner shell}} instead of this WikiProject. Valid class values can be found at Wikipedia:Content assessment.
• 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 S's and not the J'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.
• importance: Options are Top, High, Mid, Low, and NA. If blank, this will default as Unrated priority. NA represents "not applicable".

This is the importance within physics according to this scale. WikiProject Physics participants have elaborated guidelines to help gauge the importance of an article within physics.

Additional options are available if you have a need for them. Here are the full options:

{{WikiProject Physics
|importance=
|needs-infobox=
|needs-image=
|attention=
     <!-- Task Forces -->
|relativity=      <!--Relativity Taskforce-->
|fluid-dynamics=  <!--Fluid Dynamics Taskforce-->
|acoustics=       <!--Acoustics Taskforce-->
|glass=           <!--Glass Taskforce-->
|bio=   <!--Biographies Taskforce-->
|pub=   <!--Publications Taskforce-->
|hist=  <!--History Taskforce-->
}}

Options which are left blank will not be displayed or categorized.

• needs-infobox: Answer yes if the article needs an infobox, otherwise remove this line.
• needs-image: Answer yes if the article needs a picture, graphic, or illustration, otherwise remove this line.
• attention: Answer yes if the page needs immediate attention, otherwise remove this line.
• Task Forces: Append yes if the article is related to a taskforce's scope, otherwise remove the line.

How to

Tag an article

Just add {{WikiProject Physics|importance=}} to the article's talk page. Please take the time to choose an importance rating.
