Usage

edit

When you create or find a new page within the scope of WikiProject Portals please add any of the following to the top of its talk page:

{{WikiProject Portals |class= |importance= }}
{{WikiProject Portals |class= |importance= |historical= |featured= |listas= |maintenance= }}
{{WikiProject Portals
|class       = 
|importance  = 
|historical  = 
|featured    = 
|listas      = 
|maintenance =
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted.

Optional parameters

edit
  • class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. 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.
  • featured – set |featured=yes if the page was designated as a featured portal, before the process was retired in 2017.
  • historical – set |historical=yes if the page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference.
  • maintenance – set |maintenance=na to suppress the detection of a missing {{Portal maintenance status}} template and the corresponding note.
  • importance – valid values are: top, high, mid, low, bottom, 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 The Beatles, use |listas=Beatles, The so that the talk page will show up in the B's and not the T'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.
  • 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.
