Template documentation

Usage

Please note: This template should be transcluded {{WikiProject Magazines}} and not substituted (subst:) because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit numerous pages.

{{WikiProject Magazines
 |class = 
 |importance=
 |attention=
 |auto=
}}

Parameters

• attention - set if 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.
  • This parameter populates Category:Magazines articles needing attention.
• auto - This parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
  • - based on the length of the article
  • - because one or more other projects use this class
  • (or ), in conjunction with - as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template
    • Use of the above values (or value combinations) with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed Magazines articles.
• category - set if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
• class - see the project's quality scale for details.
• importance - valid values are: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the project's importance scale for details.
• 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 Tasneem Khalil, use so that the talk page will show up in the K's and not the T'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 The Angry Pacifist, use so that the talk page will show up in the A'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. For more information about this, please see popflock.com Resource: Categorization of people#Ordering names in a category.
  It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own set, since it not only affects categories used by the banner in which it is set, but it also affects the sortkey of all other banners and templates.
• small - set to display a small version of the template aligned along the right side of the page (as opposed to at the top). This parameter does not work as expected if the banner template is enclosed in {{WikiProject banner shell}} or any of its redirects.
