Template:WikiProject Ecology

Template documentation

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Ecology to keep track of articles within its scope. All articles are categorised into Category:WikiProject Ecology articles.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject banner shell |class= |
{{WikiProject Ecology |importance= }}
}}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.

{{WikiProject banner shell |class= |listas= |blp= |
{{WikiProject Ecology |importance= |needs-image= |category= }}
}}

Parameters

• importance – see #Importance assessment below.
• 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.

Notes and alerts

• needs-image – set |needs-image=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested that a picture or pictures be included in this article to improve its quality." This will populate Category:Wikipedia requested images of biology.

Deprecated parameters

• listas – this parameter should be used with the banner shell template, not on individual project banners. Please see Template:WikiProject banner shell for details.
