Template:Banner/AARoads Wiki

Template documentation

This is the WikiProject banner template used by AARoads Wiki project to keep track of articles within its scope. All articles are categorized into Category:All articles.

Basic usage

Place this in the talk header on the talk page of relevant articles:
{{Banner/AARoads Wiki }}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.
{{Banner/AARoads Wiki |category= |sort= |class= }}

Parameters

• 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.
• sort – this parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all articles that need specialized sorting, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Dwight D. Eisenhower, use |sort=Eisenhower, Dwight D. so that the talk page will show up in the Eisenhower's and not the Dwight D.'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 U.S. Route 6, use |listas=U.S. Route 06 so that the talk page will show up in the U.S. Route 6'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. It is not required if another project template on the same page has its own {{para|listas}} set, since it affects the sortkey of all banners and templates.
• class – see #Quality assessment below.

Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages

If the |class= parameter is not defined and the project banner is placed on the talk page of a redirect (in any namespace) or disambigation page then it will automatically be classified as follows:

• Redirects will automatically be classified as NA-class and placed in Category:NA-Class articles.
• Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as NA-class and placed in Category:NA-Class articles.

Classification based on namespace

In addition, if |class= is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.

Namespace	Icon	Class	Category	Population
User talk		NA	Category:NA-Class articles	9
File talk
TimedText talk
Category talk
Portal talk
Template talk
Module talk
Project talk
Draft talk
Help talk
MediaWiki talk

In all other circumstances, articles will be classed as Unassessed and placed in Category:Unassessed articles.
