Template documentation
This is the WikiProject banner template used by
United States project to keep track of articles within its scope. All articles are categorized into
Category:United States articles.
Basic usage
Place this in the talk header on the talk page of relevant articles:
{{Banner/United States }}Full usage
It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.
{{Banner/United States |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.
Quality assessment
This project uses the AARoads Wiki's
content assessment scale. Valid values are shown below.
Classification based on class parameter
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:
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.
In all other circumstances, articles will be classed as
Unassessed and placed in
Category:Unassessed United States articles.
