Template:WikiProject Egypt/doc

Usage instructions

This project banner template {{WikiProject Egypt}} may be added to the talk pages of articles within the scope of WikiProject Egypt. Each article's talk page is then added to Category:WikiProject Egypt articles automatically. Other categories may be added, depending on the parameters selected. This template is a self-reference.

Basic syntax

{{WikiProject Egypt
 |importance=
 |attention=
 |needs-infobox=
 |needs-photo=
 }}

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

Each article may also be assigned a particular importance.

The following values may be used for the importance parameter (they should be entered exactly as given):

importance parameter values (Category:Egypt articles by importance)

Value	Meaning	Category
importance=Top	Major, broad articles like Egyptians, Egypt	Top-importance Egypt articles
importance=High	All major or broad topics with respect to Egypt and Egyptians including important historical figures	High-importance Egypt articles
importance=Mid	Other articles that are likely to be of general interest (for example, Egyptian stick fencing)	Mid-importance Egypt articles
importance=Low	Articles that are only marginally relevant or of limited interest; also miscellaneous pages such as disambiguation pages, which do not require an assessment	Low-importance Egypt articles

Other template parameters

• 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:Egypt articles needing attention.
• 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.
• 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 Doe, use |listas=Doe, John so that the talk page will show up in the D'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.
• 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:Egypt articles needing infoboxes.
• needs-photo – set |needs-photo=yes to populate Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Egypt.
