Template:WikiProject Japan/doc

The {{WikiProject Japan}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner.

• If a field name is listed in the Prerequisites column, it is a prerequisite for the field to the left.

Parameters

• class – a rating of the article's quality; see the assessment department for more details. Categories and Templates are automatically assessed by this template, and therefore do not need to have the class specified. Options are:
  • FA for articles which are Featured articles.
  • FL for articles which are Featured lists.
  • FM for articles which are Featured pictures or Featured sounds.
  • A for articles which are A-Class.
  • GA for articles which are Good Articles.
  • B for articles which are B-Class. This will only work if the "b1" through "b6" criteria are also used and each marked with "yes".
  • C for articles which are C-Class.
  • Start for articles which are Start-Class.
  • Stub for articles which are Stubs.
  • List for articles which are Lists.
  • Dab or Disambig for articles which are Disambiguation articles.
  • Draft for article drafts.
  • File for media files such as images or videos.
  • Portal for pages which are part of a portal.
  • Project for pages which are in the Wikipedia namespace.
  • Redirect for redirects.
  • NA for articles which are Not Articles (such as project articles).
• importance – Top, High, Mid, Low, None. Descriptions of the options can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Japan/Assessment.
• needs-attention - "yes" if the article needs immediate attention for one reason or another. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.
• needs-infobox - "yes" if the article needs an infobox added to it.
• listas - fill in if the article needs to be sorted in categories some way other than using the article title. For example, Talk:Izumi Takemoto would have this parameter completed using Takemoto, Izumi because the article should be sorted by the family name.

Up to eight prefectures can be specified for locations where a photo might be obtained:

• pref-photo and pref-photo-2 through pref-photo-8 - Enter the name of the prefecture (e.g., |pref-photo=Hiroshima) to indicate a photo is requested for this location in Hiroshima Prefecture. Be sure to use correct capitalization (i.e., "Hiroshima" not "hiroshima"). Options include: Aichi, Akita, Aomori, Chiba, Ehime, Fukui, Fukuoka, Fukushima, Gifu, Gunma, Hiroshima, Hokkaido, Hyōgo, Ibaraki, Ishikawa, Iwate, Kagawa, Kagoshima, Kanagawa, Kōchi, Kumamoto, Kyoto, Mie, Miyagi, Miyazaki, Nagano, Nagasaki, Nara, Niigata, Ōita, Okayama, Okinawa, Osaka, Saga, Saitama, Shiga, Shimane, Shizuoka, Tochigi, Tokushima, Tokyo, Tottori, Toyama, Wakayama, Yamagata, Yamaguchi, or Yamanashi.

You can also specify a person or group of people needing a photo, or a generic need for a photo for an article which is not about a person/group or a specific location:

• person-photo - "yes" if the article about a person or group of people needs a photo.
• photo - "yes" if the article needs a photo, but the article is not about a specific location or a person (or persons in the case of a group)
