[edit] About this template
This template is the project banner for WikiProject Canada and can also act as a banner for several of its child-projects.
The template is to be placed on talk pages (only) of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (at or near the top of the talkpage).
This template automatically assigns the category Category:WikiProject Canada articles to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated Project 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

[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 Canada-related 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 | Featured-class articles; the article has passed through the featured article review process. | FA-Class Canada-related articles |
| A | A-class articles; could be submitted as a Featured article candidate; probably could use some small updates to make it Featured quality. | A-Class Canada-related articles |
| GA | Good-class articles; the article has passed through the good article review process. | GA-Class Canada-related articles |

[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 Canada-related 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 | Reserved for the primary articles. These are considered fundamental to the topic and are mostly overview articles with many links, like Geography of Canada and Manitoba. | Top-importance Canada-related articles |
| High | Major topic about Canada, such as Prime Minister of Canada, or CBC; and for needed subtopics of "key" articles | High-importance Canada-related articles |
| Mid | For general articles on more specialised (sub-)topics; most articles about Canadian topics go here, such as Napanee, Clarity Act, or The Tragically Hip. | Mid-importance Canada-related articles |
| Low | For still notable, but more highly-specialised or even obscure topics; people or things that are only notable in one small region or for a short amount of time; includes most backbench MPs. | Low-importance Canada-related articles |
