Template:WikiProject Transport

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

Usage

Just add {{WikiProject Transport|class= |importance= }} to the top of the talk page of any transport-related articles, placing them automatically into Category:WikiProject Transport articles. Additional parameters include:

{{WikiProject Transport
 |class=
 |importance=
 |attention=
 |small= 
 |maritime = <!-- set to yes if part of the Maritime transport task force -->
 |maritime-importance=
}}

Optional parameters

• 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:Transport articles needing attention.
• class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, 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.
• 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 Aristotle Onassis, use |listas=Onassis, Aristotle so that the talk page will show up in the O's and not the A'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.
• maritime – set |maritime=yes if the article is supported by the Maritime task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:maritime transport task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:maritime transport task force articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • maritime-importance (only used if |maritime=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within the Maritime task force
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:maritime transport task force articles by importance.
• small – this parameter is no longer supported and can safely be removed from the template.
• 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 Transport articles.
• 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.

Aliases

• The parameter |Maritime= is recognised as an alias for |maritime=. If both |maritime= and |Maritime= are present, there may be unexpected results.
• The parameter |Maritime-task-force= is recognised as an alias for |maritime=. If both |maritime= and |Maritime-task-force= are present, there may be unexpected results.
