Template:WikiProject Cycling

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Just add {{WikiProject Cycling|class=|importance=}} to the top of the talk pages of any Cycling related articles, placing them automatically into Category:WikiProject Cycling articles. Additional parameters include:

{{WikiProject Cycling
 |class         =
 |importance    =
 |needs-infobox =
 |mtb           =
 |mtb-imp       = 
 |tdf           =
 |tdf-imp       =
 |attention     =
 |small         = 
 |listas        = 
}}

Optional parameters

• 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.
  • This parameter populates Category:Cycling articles needing attention.
• class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. See the project's quality scale for details.
• gdi – set |gdi=yes if the article is supported by Giro d'Italia task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Giro d'Italia task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Giro d'Italia articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • gdi-imp (only used if |gdi=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within Giro d'Italia task force
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Giro d'Italia articles by importance.
  • If |attention=yes is also set, this parameter populates Category:Giro d'Italia articles needing attention.
  • If |needs-infobox=yes is also set, this parameter populates Category:Giro d'Italia articles needing infoboxes.
• importance – valid values are: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the project's importance scale for details.
• 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 Kirkpatrick Macmillan, use |listas=Macmillan, Kirkpatrick so that the talk page will show up in the M's and not the K'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.
  It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own |listas= set, since it not only affects categories used by the banner in which it is set, but it also affects the sortkey of all other banners and templates.
• mtb – set |mtb=yes if the article is supported by Mountain Biking task force.
  • This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Mountain Biking articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • mtb-imp (only used if |mtb=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within Mountain Biking task force
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Mountain Biking articles by importance.
• 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:Cycling articles needing infoboxes.
• small – set |small=yes to display a small version of the template aligned along the right side of the page (as opposed to at the top). This parameter does not work as expected if the banner template is enclosed in {{WikiProject banner shell}} or any of its redirects.
• tdf – set |tdf=yes if the article is supported by Tour de France task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Tour de France task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Tour de France articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • tdf-imp (only used if |tdf=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within Tour de France task force. If blank or omitted, the importance rating set by |importance= is used.
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Tour de France articles by importance.
  • If |attention=yes is also set, this parameter populates Category:Tour de France articles needing attention.
  • If |needs-infobox=yes is also set, this parameter populates Category:Tour de France articles needing infoboxes.
• 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 Cycling 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.

Unused parameters may be omitted or left blank. Parameters are not case-sensitive.

Example

{{WikiProject Cycling |class = stub |attention = yes |needs-infobox = yes |mtb = yes |mtb-imp = top |tdf = yes |tdf-imp = C }}

The above banner describes a stub-class article about some mountain biking-related article. The article is apparently of top importance to mountain biking. In addition, the banner indicates the article needs attention and an infobox.
