[edit] Usage

The {{WikiProject Denmark}} 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:

[edit] Syntax

{{WikiProject Denmark
|small=
|class=                                 
|importance=
|imageneeded=
|imagedetails=
|attention=
|infoboxneeded=
}}

[edit] Use in practice

{{WikiProject Denmark
|small=yes                               <!-- renders the banner in miniature size. -->
                                         <!-- Use sparingly and only on crowded talk pages.-->
|class=A                                 <!-- FA, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, NA or List-->
|importance=Top                          <!-- Top, High, Mid or Low-->
|imageneeded=yes                         <!-- Please only use lowercase. -->
|imagedetails=An image of the building   <!-- Only works is you answered "yes" before. -->
|attention=yes                           <!-- Immediate attention required. Needed by some bots. -->
                                         <!-- More information available at -->
                                         <!-- "Category:Denmark articles needing attention" -->
|infoboxneeded=yes                       <!-- Self explanatory. One of the bots likes this one. -->
}}

General parameters:

• class – a rating of the article's quality; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Denmark/Assessment for more details. Valid values are:
  • FA - The article has reached Featured article status.
  • A - Could be submitted as a Featured article candidate; probably could use some small updates to make it Featured quality.
  • GA - The article has reached Good article status.
  • B - Could be submitted as a Good article nominee; probably could use some updates or may lack some features from the Good article criteria, but it presents a good overview of the subject.
  • Start - The article is more than a stub, but may lack some important aspects of the topic's discussion.
  • Stub - The article is a stub; it likely contains a Denmark-related stub template.
  • NA - The page is not an article and should not be rated; it could be a template, image or category, for example.
  • List - The article is a list or gallery, probably with very little text.

Maintenance parameter (set it to "yes" to include it):

• imageneeded - The article needs an image; adds articles to Category:Denmark articles needing images.
  • imagedetails (appears only if imageneeded is set to yes) - Additional details to describe the image that is requested.

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

[edit] Notes

• Task forces are supported but this function has not been activated.
• The image request feature is listed "below the fold" when used.
• Please report any other errors you might find. Thanks! Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 17:53, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

• This template is based on the corresponding template from {{WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology}} which in turn is based on {{WPMILHIST}} from the Military History WikiProject, created by User:Kirill Lokshin. It also includes code from {{TrainsWikiProject}} from the Trains WikiProject created by User:Slambo. Many thanks to both of you. The trick with the portal link is borrowed from {{WP Australia}}.
