Template documentation

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Schools to keep track of articles within its scope.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

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

Full usage

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

{{WikiProject banner shell |class= |listas= |blp= |
{{WikiProject Schools |importance= |auto= |needs-infobox= |info= |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

• auto – this parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
  • length – based on the length of the article;
  • inherit – because one or more other projects use this class;
  • yes or stub (in conjunction with |class=stub) – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template.
  Use of the above values with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed Schools articles.
• needs-infobox – set |needs-infobox=yes if the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles. This parameter populates Category:School articles needing infoboxes.
• info – set |info=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "Reasoning for assessment: {{{info}}}"

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.
• class – this parameter should be used with the banner shell template, not on individual project banners. See #Quality assessment below.

Quality assessment

Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages

If the WikiProject 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 Redirect-class and placed in Category:Redirect-Class school pages.
• Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as Disambig-class and placed in Category:Disambig-Class school pages.

Classification based on namespace

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