Template:WikiProject U2/doc

Usage

An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject banner shell}} and the {{WikiProject U2}} project banner, respectively, on its talk page:

{{WikiProject U2
 |auto=
 |importance=
 |attention=
 |needs-infobox=
 |needs-photo=
 |collaboration=
 |audio-file=
 |peer-review=
 |old-peer-review=
 |category=
}}

Template layout

• 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.

auto: Answer yes if the _class_ parameter is left blank.

Articles for which a valid _class_ is not provided are listed in Category:Unassessed U2 articles. The _class_ should be assigned according to the quality scale, while the importance should be assigned according to the importance scale below.

• importance – valid values are: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the importance scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |importance= blank or omit the parameter.

The parameter is not used if an article's _class_ is set to NA, Category, Disambig, Image, Portal, Project, Redirect, or Template (adds Non-article pages to Category:NA- Class U2 articles; assessment is unnecessary.)

attention: Answer yes if the page needs immediate attention, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:U2 articles needing attention.

needs-infobox: Answer yes if the page needs an infobox, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:U2 articles needing infoboxes.

needs-photo: Answer yes if the page needs an image, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:U2 articles needing photographs.

audio-file: Answer yes if the page has an audio file, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:U2 articles with audio files.

NOT USED AT THE MOMENT

collaboration: Answer yes if the page is currently candidate to be the U2 WikiProject Collaboration of the Fortnight, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:U2 WP Collaboration candidates???.

NOT USED AT THE MOMENT

past-collaboration: Enter the wikilink to the previous article that was U2 WikiProject Collaboration of the Fortnight, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:U2 WP Past collaborations???.

NOT USED AT THE MOMENT

peer-review: Answer yes if the page is currently nominated for Peer review by WikiProject U2, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:U2 WP Requests for peer review???.

NOT USED AT THE MOMENT

old-peer-review: Answer yes if the page was peer reviewed by WikiProject U2, otherwise remove this line.

This parameter populates Category:U2 WP Old requests for peer review.

NOT USED AT THE MOMENT

category: Set |category=no to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization when the banner is used for demonstration or testing purposes.

• 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 Adam Clayton, use |listas=Clayton, Adam so that the talk page will show up in the C's and not the A'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.

Quality scale

• 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 scale

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject U2}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject U2|importance=???}}

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance U2 articles)		Top
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance U2 articles)		High
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance U2 articles)		Mid
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance U2 articles)		Low
NA (adds pages to Category:NA-importance U2 pages)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance U2 articles)		???

WikiProject article importance scheme

Importance	Criteria	Example
Top	Subject is a must-have for a print encyclopaedia. High probability that non-U2 fans would look this up.	Main article, Group members
High	Subject contributes a depth of knowledge to the encyclopaedia. Subject is notable or significant within the fan community, but not necessarily outside it	Majority of the studio albums
Mid	Subject fills in more minor details, and may have been included primarily to achieve comprehensive coverage of another topic.	Mothers of the Disappeared
Low	Subject is peripheral knowledge, possibly trivial.	Morleigh Steinberg
NA	Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc.	Category:U2
???	Subject importance has not yet been assessed.
