[edit] Project banner

The {{Film}} 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:

{{Film

<!-- B-Class checklist -->
<!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all 
major points are appropriately cited. -->

a lead section and one or more sections of content. -->

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.
  • auto – "yes" if the article has been automatically assessed;
  • importance - a rating of the article's priority for the project. (Under discussion to possibly be phased out in the near-future.)

Reviews and collaborations:

Needs and requests:

  • attention – "yes" if the article requires immediate attention; see Category:Film articles needing attention for more details on when this should be used.
  • needs-cast - "yes" if the article needs a cast section or more information regarding the cast and crew
  • needs-image - "yes" if the article needs an image, such as a poster or on-set photo.
  • needs-infobox – "yes" if the article needs an infobox added or updated.
  • needs-synopsis - "yes" if the article needs a plot synopsis or needs it to be expanded more sufficiently.

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:Italian Wars is given as "|portal1-name=Italian Wars". 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:Italian Wars/Selected event/3 is given as "|portal1-link=Selected event/3".

Task forces (general topics):

Task forces (nations and regions):

Task forces (periods and movements):

  • none currently extant

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