This template is the project banner for WikiProject History of Science.
The template is to be placed on talk pages (only) of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (basically anything to do with the histories of science, technology, and medicine, as well as science studies, STS, etc.).
This template automatically assigns the category Category:WikiProject History of Science articles to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated WikiProject categories are used in various ways by the Project in the overall management of the Project's workload.
This template contains optional parameters, details of usage are given below.
Usage instructions edit
General syntax options for this template are as follows:
{{WikiProject History of Science
|class=
|importance=
}}
The parameters are named, and (if used) must be entered exactly as-is (note, all are lowercase).
The class and importance parameters are associated with the Project's article assessment and rating scheme. These parameters add a category to the talkpage, which category depends on the values chosen.
Class edit
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject History of Science}} project banner on its talk page:
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
| FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class history of science articles) |  FA |
|
| A (adds articles to Category:A-Class history of science articles) |  A |
|
| GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class history of science articles) |  GA |
|
| B (adds articles to Category:B-Class history of science articles) | B | |
| C (adds articles to Category:C-Class history of science articles) | C | |
| Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class history of science articles) | Start | |
| Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class history of science articles) | Stub | |
| FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class history of science articles) | FL |
|
| List (adds articles to Category:List-Class history of science articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
| Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class history of science articles) | Category | |
| Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class history of science articles) | Portal | |
| Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class history of science articles) | Project | |
| Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class history of science articles) | Template | |
| NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class history of science articles) | NA | |
| ??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed history of science articles) | ??? |
Importance edit
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject History of Science}} project banner on its talk page:

| Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance history of science articles) | Top | |
| High (adds articles to Category:High-importance history of science articles) | High | |
| Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance history of science articles) | Mid | |
