Template:WikiProject Poetry/doc

Usage

Please place this template on the talk page of related articles. It is preferable to delete unused parameters.

{{WikiProject Poetry
|importance         = 
|needs-infobox      = 
|needs-image        = 
|TheCanterburyTales = 
|william-blake      = 
|blake-importance   = 
|attention          = 
}}

Optional 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:Poetry articles needing attention.
• 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.
• 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 Samuel Taylor Coleridge, use |listas=Coleridge, Samuel Taylor so that the talk page will show up in the C's and not the S'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-image – set |needs-image=yes if the article needs an image.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of arts.
• 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:Poetry articles needing infoboxes.
• TheCanterburyTales – set |TheCanterburyTales=yes if the article is supported by The Canterbury Tales task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:The Canterbury Tales task force articles.
• william-blake – set |william-blake=yes if the article is supported by William Blake task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:William Blake task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:William Blake task force articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • blake-importance (only used if |william-blake=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within William Blake task force
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:William Blake task force articles by importance.
• 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.
