Usage edit
When this template is placed on a non-article page, the page will be automatically assessed for both class and importance.
{{WikiProject Media franchises
|class=
|importance=
|sherlock-holmes=
|sherlock-holmes-importance=
}}
- attention – set
|attention=yesif 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:Media franchises articles needing attention.
- class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, na (case-insensitive). See the project's quality scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave
|class=blank or omit the parameter. - 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 Sherlock Holmes, use
|listas=Holmes, Sherlockso that the talk page will show up in the H's and not the S's of the various assessment and administrative categories; similarly, for topics with titles beginning with an article such as "the" or "a" - e.g. for The Lord of the Rings, use|listas=Lord of the Rings, Theso that the talk page will show up in the L's). 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=yesif the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles.- This parameter populates Category:Media franchise articles needing infoboxes.
- category – set
|category=noif, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter. - sherlock-holmes – set
|sherlock-holmes=yesif the article is under the scope of WikiProject Sherlock Holmes.- sherlock-holmes-importance (only used if
|sherlock-holmes=yesis set; uses the same values as|importance=) – Importance rating within this taskforce- This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Sherlock Holmes articles by importance.
