Template:WikiProject Zimbabwe

Template documentation

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

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

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

Full usage

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

{{WikiProject banner shell |blp= |class= |listas= |
{{WikiProject Zimbabwe |class= |importance= |attention= |needs-infobox= |needs-photo= |merge= |Rhodesia= |Rhodesia-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.

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:Zimbabwe articles needing attention.
• needs-infobox – set |needs-infobox=yes if the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles. This parameter populates Category:Zimbabwe articles needing infoboxes.
• needs-photo – to request that an image or photograph be added to the page.
• merge – set |merge=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "This article is a candidate for Merge action with one or more other articles. If consensus to the merge action has been reached in the discussion below, please carry out the merge and remove this flag when done." This will populate Category:Zimbabwe articles needing merge action.

Task forces

• Rhodesia – set |Rhodesia=yes if the article is supported by Rhodesia task force. This parameter populates Category:Rhodesia task force articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Rhodesia articles by quality based on the |class= parameter in the banner shell.
• Rhodesia-importance – This parameter sets the importance of the article according to Rhodesia task force. It populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Rhodesia articles by importance. See #Importance assessment for valid values.

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.
