Template:WikiProject Ghana

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

This template categorizes pages using assessment and importance grades through built-in transclusion. An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject Ghana}} banner on its talk page. This 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 hundreds of pages.

Generally, this template should not be used on the same talk page as a {{WikiProject Africa}} banner.

Basic

To use this template, copy the following code and place it on an article talk page:

{{WikiProject Ghana |class= |importance= }}

The class and importance parameters are ratings of the article's quality and relative importance to Ghana. See the Project's assessment page for more details.

Expanded

To use the full template, copy the following code and place it on an article talk page:

{{WikiProject Ghana
 |class= 
 |importance= 
 |attention=
 |needs-infobox= 
 |listas=
}}

Parameters

• class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, category, disambig, draft, file, portal, project, 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:Ghana 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:Ghana articles needing infoboxes.
• 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 Doe, use |listas=Doe, John so that the talk page will show up in the D's and not the J'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.
• 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.
