Template:WikiProject Israel/sandbox

Template documentation

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Israel to keep track of articles within its scope. All articles are categorised into Category:WikiProject Israel articles.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject Israel |class= |importance= }}

Full usage

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

{{WikiProject Israel |category= |listas= |class= |importance= |auto= |attention= |needs-infobox= |image-needed= |map-needed= |tel-aviv= |tel-aviv-importance= |cinema= }}

Parameters

• 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.
• 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 John Smith, use |listas=Smith, John so that the talk page will show up in the Smith's and not the John'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 Matrix, use |listas=Matrix, The so that the talk page will show up in the Matrix'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 Wikipedia:Categorization of people#Ordering names in a category. It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own {{para|listas}} set, since it affects the sortkey of all banners and templates.
• class – see #Quality assessment below.
• importance – see #Importance assessment below.

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 Israel articles.
• attention – set |attention=yes 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. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention. This parameter populates Category:Israel articles needing attention.
• 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:Israel articles needing infoboxes.
• image-needed – set |image-needed=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested a photograph or image to be included in this article to improve its quality. Once the image is uploaded, please remove the |image-needed= parameter from this template." This will populate Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Israel.
• map-needed – set |map-needed=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested a map or maps to be included in this article to improve its quality. Once the image is uploaded, please remove the |image-needed= parameter from this template." This will populate Category:Wikipedia requested maps in Israel.

Task forces

• tel-aviv – set |tel-aviv=yes if the article is supported by WikiProject Tel Aviv. This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Tel Aviv articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Tel Aviv articles by quality based on the |class= parameter.
• tel-aviv-importance – This parameter sets the importance of the article according to WikiProject Tel Aviv. It populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Tel Aviv articles by importance. See #Importance assessment for valid values.
• cinema – set |cinema=yes if the article is supported by Israeli cinema task force. This parameter populates Category:Israeli cinema task force articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Israeli cinema articles by quality based on the |class= parameter.

Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages

If the |class= parameter is not defined and 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 Israel-related articles.
• Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as Disambig-class and placed in Category:Disambig-Class Israel-related articles.

Classification based on namespace

In addition, if |class= is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.

Namespace	Icon	Class	Category	Population
User talk		NA	Category:NA-Class Israel-related articles	0
Project talk
Help talk
MediaWiki talk
File talk		File	Category:File-Class Israel-related articles	0

Portal talk		Portal	Category:Portal-Class Israel-related articles	0
Template talk		Template	Category:Template-Class Israel-related articles	5
Module talk
Draft talk		Draft	Category:Draft-Class Israel-related articles	0

In all other circumstances, articles will be classed as Unassessed and placed in Category:Unassessed Israel-related articles.

Usage

The {{WikiProject Israel}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has some optional ones that add extra features to the banner. This template automatically adds articles to Category:WikiProject Israel articles. The full syntax is as follows:

{{WikiProject Israel
|class=
|importance=
|auto=
|attention=
|needs-infobox=
|image-needed=
|image-details=
|map-needed=
|map-details=
|listas=
|category=
|tel-aviv=
|tel-aviv-importance=
|cinema=
}}

Parameters

• 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: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). 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.
• auto – This parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
  • |auto=length – based on the length of the article
  • |auto=inherit – because one or more other projects use this class
  • |auto=yes (or |auto=stub), in conjunction with |class=stub – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template
    • Use of the above values (or value combinations) with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed Israel articles.
• attention – set |attention=yes 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. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.
  • This parameter populates Category:Israel articles needing attention.
• 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:Israel articles needing infoboxes.
• image-needed – set |image-needed=yes if the article needs an image or photograph.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Israel.
  • image-details – (appears only if |image-needed= is set to yes) Additional details to describe the image that is requested.
• map-needed – set |map-needed=yes if the article needs a map.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested maps in Israel.
  • map-details – (appears only if |map-needed= is set to yes) Additional details to specify the kind of map information that is needed.
• 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 Menachem Begin, use |listas=Begin, Menachem so that the talk page will show up in the B's and not the M'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=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.
• tel-aviv – set |tel-aviv=yes if the article is supported by WikiProject Tel Aviv.
  • This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Tel Aviv articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Tel Aviv articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • tel-aviv-importance (only used if |tel-aviv=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within WikiProject Tel Aviv
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Tel Aviv articles by importance.
• cinema – set |cinema=yes if the article is supported by Israeli cinema task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Israeli cinema task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Israeli cinema articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.
