Project banner

edit

The {{WikiProject Aviation}} 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. The full syntax is as follows:

{{WikiProject Aviation
|attention= 
|imageneeded=
|needs-infobox=
|A-Class= 
|collaboration-candidate=
 |current-collaboration=
 |past-collaboration=
|peer-review= 
 |old-peer-review= 

<!-- B-Class checklist -->
| b1 = <yes/no> <!--Referencing & citations-->
| b2 = <yes/no> <!--Coverage & accuracy    -->
| b3 = <yes/no> <!--Structure              -->
| b4 = <yes/no> <!--Grammar & style        -->
| b5 = <yes/no> <!--Supporting materials   -->

<!-- Portals -->
|portal= 

<!-- Task forces (general topics) -->
|Accident=
|Aircraft=
|Airlines=
|Airports=
|Air-sports=
|Biography=
|Defunct=
|Engines=
|Gliding=
|Rotorcraft=
}}

General parameters

edit
  • class – This WikiProject follows Project-Independent Quality Assessment. Please add valid |class= values to {{WikiProject banner shell}} instead of this WikiProject. Valid class values can be found at Wikipedia:Content assessment.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • imageneeded – set |imageneeded=yes if the article needs an image (other than a map).
  • |A-Class= "pass", "fail", or "current" indicates the status of the article's A-Class review; see the review department for more details.
  • collaboration-candidate – set |collaboration-candidate=yes if the page is a candidate to be the project collaboration.
  • current-collaboration – set |current-collaboration=yes if the page is currently the project collaboration.
  • past-collaboration – set |past-collaboration=yes (or any non-blank value other than "no", "n", "0" or "¬", such as the dates it was part of the collaboration) if the page was a past project collaboration.
  • peer-review – set |peer-review=yes if the article is currently undergoing a peer review, or to request that the peer review process for this page should be begun.
  • old-peer-review – set |old-peer-review=yes if the article has had a peer review which is now archived.
  • 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 Reinhard Heydrich, use |listas=Heydrich, Reinhard so that the talk page will show up in the H's and not the R'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 Airscrew Company, use |listas=Airscrew Company, The so that the talk page will show up in the A'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.
    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.

Aliases

edit
  • The parameters |b1= to |b5= are recognised as aliases for |B-Class-1= to |B-Class-5=. If both |B-Class-1= and |b1= are present, |b1= is ignored; similarly for the other four pairs.

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