This WikiProject banner uses {{WPBannerMeta}}, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining banners and talk-page notices. Please report any such errors or feature requests to Template talk:WPBannerMeta. Any information or warnings about the template are below:

The 5 notes in this template will automatically collapse if more than 2 of them are activated. To change this setting, set or update the COLLAPSED parameter.
This banner template includes a link to Portal:Animals, and the accompanying image is File:Caribou from Wagon Trails.jpg. See the instructions on how to change this.
When merging or renaming banners, categories, projects or taskforces, you may need to update WP:AALERTS/LIST for Article Alerts to work correctly (ask for help at WT:AALERTS).
This template is passing the |small= parameter which is now obsolete. Please remove this parameter and update template documentation accordingly.

Usage

Note: The {{WikiProject Animals}} template should be transcluded 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 thousands of pages.

{{WikiProject Animals
|class           =
|importance      =
|small           =
|needs-taxobox   =
|needs-image     =
|needs-cleanup   =
|attention       =
}}

See the WikiProject Animals assessment page for explanations of these parameters.

Parameters

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.
class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, book, category, disambig, template, na (case-insensitive). 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.
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:Animal articles needing attention.
needs-taxobox – set |needs-taxobox=yes if the article needs a taxobox.
- This parameter populates Category:Missing taxobox.
needs-image – set |needs-image=yes if the article requires an image.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of animals.
needs-audio – set |needs-audio=yes if the article requires an audio.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested audio of animals.
needs-cleanup – set |needs-cleanup=yes if the article requires cleanup.
- This parameter populates Category:Animal articles needing cleanup.
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 Carl Linnaeus, use |listas=Linnaeus, Carl so that the talk page will show up in the L's and not the C'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.
