}}

Full usage

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

{{WikiProject banner shell |class= |listas= |blp= |
{{WikiProject Materials |importance= |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.

Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages

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

Classification based on namespace

When placed on non-articles, the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page.
