Template documentation

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

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject banner shell |class= |
{{WikiProject Primates |importance= }}
}}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.

{{WikiProject banner shell |blp= |class= |listas= |
{{WikiProject Primates |class= |importance= |attention= |needs-audio= |needs-image= |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.

Notes and alerts

• attention – set |attention=yes if the article needs immediate attention from experienced editors. Use only if another parameter does not cover the need for attention; this should be used sparingly. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention. This parameter populates Category:Primates articles needing attention.
• needs-audio – set |needs-audio=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested that an audio file(s) be included in this article to improve its quality." This will populate Category:Wikipedia requested audio of animals.
• needs-image – set |needs-image=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested that a picture or pictures be included in this article to improve its quality." This will populate Category:Wikipedia requested images of primates.

Deprecated parameters

• listas – this parameter should be used with the banner shell template, not on individual project banners. Please see Template:WikiProject banner shell for details.
• class – this parameter should be used with the banner shell template, not on individual project banners. See WP:PIQA for more details.

Usage

When you create or find a new Primate page, please add {{WikiProject Primates}} to the top of the talk page. This template has several optional parameters:

{{WikiProject Primates
  | importance              = 
  | attention               = 
  | needs-image             = 
  | needs-audio             = 
  | collaboration-candidate = 
  | past-collaboration      = 
}}

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• attention – set |attention=yes if the article needs immediate attention from experienced editors. Use only if another parameter does not cover the need for attention; this should be used sparingly. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.
  • This parameter populates Category:Primates articles needing attention.
• needs-image – set |needs-image=yes if the article requires an image.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of primates.
• needs-audio – set |needs-audio=yes if the article requires an audio.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested audio of animals.
• 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 Thomas Defler, use |listas=Defler, Thomas so that the talk page will show up in the D'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.
• collaboration-candidate – set |collaboration-candidate=yes if the page is a candidate to be the project collaboration.
  • This parameter populates Category:Primates collaboration canditates.
• past-collaboration – set |past-collaboration=yes (or any non-blank value other than "no", "n", "0" or "¬", such as the dates it was part of the collaboration) if the page was a past project collaboration.
  • This parameter populates Category:Past Primates collaborations.
