Project banner

The {{BirdTalk}} 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:

{{WP Birds
|class=  
|importance=
|attention=
|needs-photo= 
|needs-audio=
|collaboration-candidate=
|past-collaboration=
|peer-review= 
|old-peer-review=
|orphan= 
}}

General parameters:

  • 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.
  • attention – "yes" if the article requires immediate attention; this should be used sparingly.
  • needs-photo - "yes" if the article could benefit from having a photograph but currently does not have one.
  • needs-audio - "yes" if the article could benefit from having audio files but currently does not have any.
  • 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.
  • orphan – "yes" if the article is not currently supported by the Birds WikiProject.

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