Usage

• 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.

---

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

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

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; for Brazil related articles, we make a very simple use of this. Articles for which a valid importance has not yet been provided are listed by default in: Category:Unknown-importance Brazil articles.

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

WikiProject article importance scheme

Importance	Criteria	Example
Top	Subject is extremely important, even crucial, to its specific field. Reserved for subjects that have achieved international notability within their field.	Economic history of Brazil
High	Subject is extremely notable, but has not achieved international notability, or is only notable within a particular continent.	Banco do Brasil
Mid	Subject is only notable within its particular field or subject and has achieved notability in a particular place or area.	National Library of Brazil
Low	Subject is not particularly notable or significant even within its field of study. It may only be included to cover a specific part of a notable article.	Betim
NA	Subject importance is not applicable. Generally applies to non-article pages such as redirects, categories, templates, etc.	Category:Brazil
???	Subject importance has not yet been assessed.	???

If necessary, exceptions to the rules can always be considered.

Other template parameters

The following should be used only on article talk pages (Not for non-article pages)

Parameter	Meaning	Category
Attention	Does this article need active attention (POV issues, badly organized, unreferenced)? The attention value should not appear in the template, if the article does not need attention.	Brazil articles needing attention
Merge	Should we consider merging this into another article? The merge value should not appear in the template, if the article does not need to be merged.	Brazil articles needing merge action
Infobox	Is it missing any infobox? The needs-infobox value should not appear in the template, if the article does not need an infobox.	Brazil articles needing infoboxes
Photo	Is it missing any photo? The needs-photo value should not appear in the template, if the article does not need a photo.	Brazil articles needing photos
Map	Is it missing any map? The needs-map value should not appear in the template, if the article does not need a map.	Wikipedia requested maps in Brazil

Optional parameters

• arts – set |arts=yes if the article is supported by the Arts in Brazil task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Arts in Brazil task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:arts in Brazil articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • This parameter uses |importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:arts in Brazil articles by importance.
• 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:Brazil 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.
• edu – set |edu=yes if the article is supported by the Education and Science in Brazil task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Education and science in Brazil task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:education and science in Brazil articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • This parameter uses |importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:education and science in Brazil articles by importance.
• geo – set |geo=yes if the article is supported by the Geography of Brazil task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Geography of Brazil task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:geography of Brazil articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • This parameter uses |importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:geography of Brazil articles by importance.
• gov – set |gov=yes if the article is supported by the Government and Laws of Brazil task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Government and laws of Brazil task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:government and laws of Brazil articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • This parameter uses |importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:government and laws of Brazil articles by importance.
• history – set |history=yes if the article is supported by the History of Brazil task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:History of Brazil task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:history of Brazil articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • This parameter uses |importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:history of Brazil articles by importance.
• 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 Nelson Piquet, use |listas=Piquet, Nelson so that the talk page will show up in the P's and not the N'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:Brazil articles needing infoboxes.

  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Brazil.
• needs-map – set |needs-map=yes if the page needs a map to be included.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested maps in Brazil.
• portal – set |portal=yes (or any non-blank value other than "no", "n", "0" or "¬", such as May 2007) if the article has been selected for the featured article queue of the Brazil Portal
• sports – set |sports=yes if the article is supported by the Sports in Brazil task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Sports in Brazil task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:sports in Brazil articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.

• auto – This parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
  • |auto=length – based on the length of the article
  • |auto=inherit – because one or more other projects use this class
  • |auto=yes (or |auto=stub), in conjunction with |class=stub – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template
    • Use of the above values (or value combinations) with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed Brazil articles.
• 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.
