[edit] Usage

The {{WikiProject Television}} 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:

{{WikiProject Television
|small=
|nested=
|importance= (High, Mid, Low, NA)
|class= (FA, FL, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, List, Cat, or Template)
|peer-review= 
|attention= 
<!-- Task forces -->
|the-amazing-race=
|desperate-housewives= 
|law-&-order=
|ER= 
|test-cards=
|avatar=
<!-- WikiProject task-force specific importance tags -->
|the-amazing-race-importance=
|desperate-housewives-importance=
|law-&-order-importance=
|ER-importance=
|test-cards-importance=
|avatar-importance=
}}

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; see the automation department for more details.
  • peer-review – "yes" if the article is currently listed for peer review by the project; see the review department for more details.
  • attention – "yes" if the article requires immediate attention; see Category:Television articles needing attention for more details on when this should be used.
