Usage edit

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

{{WikiProject Diptera |class= |importance= }}
{{WikiProject Diptera |class= |importance= |needs-photo= |needs-taxobox= |listas= }}
{{WikiProject Diptera
|class         = 
|importance    = 
|needs-photo   = 
|needs-taxobox = 
|listas        = 
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds articles to Category:WikiProject Diptera articles.

Optional parameters edit

  • class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. See the 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 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 Carl Linnaeus, use |listas=Linnaeus, Carl so that the talk page will show up in the L's and not the C'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.
  • needs-photo – set |needs-photo=yes to mark the page as needing an image.
  • needs-taxobox – set |needs-taxobox=yes to request that a taxobox be included in the article to improve its quality.
  • 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
  • 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.

Aliases edit

  • The parameters |needs-image=, |image-needed= and |photo-needed= are recognised as aliases for |needs-photo=. If more than one is present, the order of precedence, from highest to lowest, is: |needs-photo=|needs-image=|image-needed=|photo-needed= . Parameters with lower precedence are ignored.
  • The parameters |taxobox-needed=, |taxobox-requested= and |taxobox= are recognised as aliases for |needs-taxobox=. If more than one is present, the order of precedence, from highest to lowest, is: |needs-taxobox=|taxobox-needed=|taxobox-requested=|taxobox= . Parameters with lower precedence are ignored.
