Template:WikiProject Archaeology

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

Usage

To add an article to the list, simply add {{WikiProject Archaeology|class=|importance=}} to the talk page of the article with the following parameters:

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

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:Archaeology articles needing attention.
• 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. 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.
• 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 Howard Carter, use |listas=Carter, Howard so that the talk page will show up in the C's and not the H'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.
• 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:Archaeology articles needing infoboxes.
• women – set |women=yes if the article is supported by the Women in archaeology task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Women in archaeology articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:women in archaeology articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
• 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.
