Usage
[edit source]This template {{WikiProject Dogs|class=|importance=}} adds articles to Category:WikiProject Dogs articles. This template is a self-reference. Please add it to the article's top of the talk page of any dog related article. Additional parameters include:
{{WikiProject Dogs
|class=
|importance=
|attention=
|needs-infobox=
|needs-photo=
|reqbreedimage=
|dyk=
|listas=
|category=
}}
Optional parameters
[edit source]- attention – set
|attention=yesif 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. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.- This parameter populates Category:Dogs articles needing attention.
- needs-infobox – set
|needs-infobox=yesif the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles.- This parameter populates Category:Dogs articles needing infoboxes.
- class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, na (case-insensitive). See the project's 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 listed in the custom importance mask. See the project's importance scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave
|importance=blank or omit the parameter. - needs-photo – set
|needs-photo=yesif the article needs an image to be included to improve its quality.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of dogs.
- reqbreedimage – set
|reqbreedimage=yesif the article needs an image of an dog breed to be included to improve its quality.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of dog breeds.
- dyk – set
|dyk=yesif the Did you know selection appears on the main page.- This parameter populates Category:Dogs Did you know articles.
- 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 Arthur Haggerty, use
|listas=Haggerty, Arthurso that the talk page will show up in the H's and not the A'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. - category – set
|category=noif, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
