[edit] Usage

[edit] Project banner

Note: This template has recently undergone major revisions. If you spot anything which you think may need correcting, please feel free to mention it on the talk page.

The {{WikiProject Animation}} 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 a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. The full syntax is as follows:

{{WikiProject Animation

<!-- B-Class checklist -->
<!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all 
major points are appropriately cited. -->
|B-Class-1=
<!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and 
does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. -->
|B-Class-2=
<!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including 
a lead section and one or more sections of content. -->
|B-Class-3=
<!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. -->
|B-Class-4=

|portal4-name=
|portal4-link=
|portal5-name=

}}

General parameters:

  • small – "yes" if the banner should be rendered in its miniature size; this should be used sparingly and only on crowded talk pages for the time being.
  • nested – "yes" if the banner is being used in conjunction with {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}.
  • class – a rating of the article's quality; see the assessment department for more details.
  • importance – a rating of the article's importance; see the assessment department for more details.
  • A-Class – Currently reserved for future usage.
  • attention – "yes" if the article requires immediate attention; this should be used sparingly.
  • auto – "yes" if the article has been automatically assessed by a bot. Typically applies to stub articles only.
  • cleanup – "yes" if the article requires general cleaning up. Please detail what aspects of the article require clean-up on the article's talk page, otherwise the tag can be removed without redress to the problems.
  • fiction – "yes" if the article needs rewriting to maintain an out of universe approach per Wikipedia:Writing about fiction.
  • future - "yes" if the article contains discussion of comics that have been announced but are currently unpublished. Such articles should avoid recentism and statements that will date quickly.
  • image – "yes" if the article requires an image, which should be added per guidance.
  • infobox – "yes" if the article needs an infobox added or updated.
  • collaboration-candidate – "yes" if the article is currently a candidate for the project's Collaboration of the Month.
  • past-collaboration – if the article was previously a Collaboration of the Month, the dash-separated dates of the collaboration period; must be left blank otherwise.
  • peer-review – "yes" if the article is currently listed on the project's peer review department.
  • old-peer-review – "yes" if the article was previously listed on the project's peer review department.
  • rfc - "yes" if there is an issue regarding the article which is being discussed upon the talk page and further comments are required.

B-Class checklist (available only for articles rated as "Stub-Class", "Start-Class", or "B-Class"—see the assessment department for more details):

Portals:

  • portalX-name – if the article has been selected for use on a portal, the name of that portal. The name should be given without any formatting or namespace prefixes; thus, Portal:Animation is given as "|portal1-name=Animation". Up to five different portals may be specified, via the parameters portal1-name through portal5-name.
  • portalX-link – the portal subpage location where the article may be found on the corresponding portal. This should be given as a pure unlinked subpage name; thus, Portal:Animation/Featured article/9 is given as "|portal1-link=Featured article/9".

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