Template:WikiProject Plants

Template documentation

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Plants to keep track of articles within its scope. All articles are categorised into Category:WikiProject Plants articles.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject Plants |class= |importance= }}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.

{{WikiProject Plants |category= |listas= |class= |importance= |attention= |needs-photo= |imagedetails= |in= |needs-taxobox= |needs-cultivar-infobox= |botanist= |needs-map= }}

Parameters

• 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.
• 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 Smith, use |listas=Smith, John so that the talk page will show up in the Smith's and not the John'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 Matrix, use |listas=Matrix, The so that the talk page will show up in the Matrix'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. It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own {{para|listas}} set, since it affects the sortkey of all banners and templates.
• class – see #Quality assessment below.
• importance – see #Importance assessment below.

Notes and alerts

• 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:Plant articles needing attention.
• needs-photo – to request that an image or photograph be added to the page.
• imagedetails – additional text to insert before the words "be added to this article" to describe the subject or type of image that is requested.
• in – specify the location of the requested image. Will be categorised into Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in LOCATION, where LOCATION is the value of the |in= paramater.
• needs-taxobox – set |needs-taxobox=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested that a taxobox be included in this article to improve its quality." This will populate Category:Missing taxobox.
• needs-cultivar-infobox – set |needs-cultivar-infobox=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested that a cultivar infobox be included in this article to improve its quality." This will populate Category:Cultivar articles without infoboxes.
• botanist – set |botanist=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "This article is about a botanist or someone who contributed to the field of botany." This will populate Category:WikiProject Plants botanist articles.
• needs-map – set |needs-map=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested that a range map be included in this article to improve its quality." This will populate Category:Wikipedia requested range maps for plants.

Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages

If the |class= parameter is not defined and the WikiProject banner is placed on the talk page of a redirect (in any namespace) or disambigation page then it will automatically be classified as follows:

• Redirects will automatically be classified as Redirect-class and placed in Category:Redirect-Class plant articles.
• Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as Disambig-class and placed in Category:Disambig-Class plant articles.

Classification based on namespace

In addition, if |class= is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.

Namespace	Icon	Class	Category	Population
User talk		NA	Category:NA-Class plant articles	196
Project talk
Help talk
MediaWiki talk
File talk		File	Category:File-Class plant articles	0
TimedText talk
Category talk		Category	Category:Category-Class plant articles	6,366
Portal talk		Portal	Category:Portal-Class plant articles	3
Template talk		Template	Category:Template-Class plant articles	19,443
Module talk
Draft talk		Draft	Category:Draft-Class plant articles	22

In all other circumstances, articles will be classed as Unassessed and placed in Category:Unassessed plant articles.
