Template:WikiProject Nigeria/doc

Usage

This template is the project banner for WikiProject Nigeria. It is to be placed on talk pages of articles identified as being within the Project's scope (at or near the top of the talkpage). To add, enter the following:

{{WikiProject Nigeria
 |class=
 |importance=
 |attention=
 |needs-infobox=
 |listas=
 |contest=
 |lagos=
  |lagos-importance=
 |Rivers State=
  |Rivers State-importance= 
 |WLWNG=
}}

Parameters

General

• class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. 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.
• 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:Nigeria articles needing 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.
  • This parameter populates Category:Nigeria articles needing infoboxes.
• 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 Nnamdi Azikiwe, use |listas=Azikiwe, Nnamdi so that the talk page will show up in the A's and not the N'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.
  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.

Task forces and projects

• contest – set |contest=yes if the article was written by a participant in the Wiki Loves Nigeria's writing contest.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wiki Loves Nigeria Writing Contest.
• lagos – set |lagos=yes if the article is supported by WikiProject Lagos.
  • This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Lagos articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Lagos articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • lagos-importance (only used if |lagos=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within WikiProject Lagos
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Lagos articles by importance.
• Rivers State – set |Rivers State=yes if the article is supported by Rivers State work group.
  • This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Rivers State articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Rivers State articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.

    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Rivers State articles by importance.

  • This parameter populates Category:Wiki Loves Women (Nigeria).

Special use only

• 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.
