Template:WikiProject Libraries/doc Information

This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject Libraries. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

When you create or find a new page within the scope of WikiProject Libraries please add any of the following to the top of its talk page:

{{WikiProject Libraries |class= |importance= }}

{{WikiProject Libraries |class= |importance= |needs-infobox= |small= |listas= }}

{{WikiProject Libraries
|class         = 
|importance    = 
|needs-infobox = 
|small         = 
|listas        = 
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds articles to Category:WikiProject Libraries articles.

Optional parameters

• class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. 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 Thomas Bodley, use |listas=Bodley, Thomas so that the talk page will show up in the B's and not the T'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.
  It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own |listas= 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.
• 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:Libraries articles needing infoboxes.
• small – this parameter is no longer supported and can safely be removed from the template.
• 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.
