[edit] About this template
This template is the project banner for WikiProject History of Science.
The template is to be placed on talk pages (only) of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (basically anything to do with the histories of science, technology, and medicine, as well as science studies, STS, etc.).
This template automatically assigns the category Category:WikiProject History of Science articles to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated WikiProject categories are used in various ways by the Project in the overall management of the Project's workload.
This template contains optional parameters, details of usage are given below.
[edit] Usage instructions
General syntax options for this template are as follows:
{{HistSci
|class=
|importance=
|type=
}}
The parameters are named, and (if used) must be entered exactly as-is (note, all are lowercase).
The class and importance parameters are associated with the Project's article assessment and rating scheme. These parameters add a category to the talkpage, which category depends on the values chosen.
[edit] Parameter values
[edit] Class
This optional parameter records the Project quality assessment rating currently assigned to the particular article on whose talkpage the project banner appears.
If unassigned, or an invalid value is given, the parameter defaults to "unassigned" and the template places the talkpage into Category:Unassessed-Class history of science articles.
Valid values for this parameter, their associated meanings and categories are given in the table below. Values should be typed as shown (eg |class=GA ):
| Value | Meaning | Category |
|---|---|---|
| FA | Articles which are currently Featured status articles | FA-Class history of science articles |
| A | A-class articles; | A-Class history of science articles |
| GA | Articles with a current Good article status | GA-Class history of science articles |
| B | B-class articles; | B-Class history of science articles |
| Start | Start-class articles; | Start-Class history of science articles |
| Stub | Stub-class articles; | Stub-Class history of science articles |
| NA | Not applicable; for miscellaneous pages which do not require an assessment | Non-article history of science pages |
[edit] Importance
This optional parameter records the Project priority assessment rating currently assigned to the particular article on whose talkpage the project banner appears.
If unassigned, or an invalid value is given, or the class parameter is set to "NA", the parameter defaults to "unassigned" and the template places the talkpage into Category:Unknown-importance history of science articles.
Valid values for this parameter, their associated meanings and categories are given in the table below. Values should be typed as shown (eg |importance=Mid ):
| Value | Meaning | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Top | For "key" articles, considered indispensable | Top-importance history of science articles |
| High | For High-priority topics and needed subtopics of "key" articles | High-importance history of science articles |
| Mid | For Mid-priority articles on more specialised (sub-)topics | Mid-importance history of science articles |
| Low | For still notable, but more highly-specialised or even obscure topics | Low-importance history of science articles |
