Template:WikiProject GeorgiaUS/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject GeorgiaUS (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

[edit] Usage

This template {{WikiProject GeorgiaUS}} adds articles to Category:WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state) articles and is a self-reference. Please add to relevant articles' talk pages.

This template should be transcluded as {{WikiProject GeorgiaUS}} and not substituted {{subst:}} because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit thousands of pages.

The template also employs several optional data field parameters as described below. For instructions on how to use the assessment parameters in this template, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state)/Assessment#Instructions. For an example of how the template will appear if all parameters are active, please see Template:WikiProject GeorgiaUS/Example.

  • class: Options are FA, FL, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, Dab, Image, Redirect, Template, Cat, List, Needed, NA, Portal. If blank, this will default as unassessed, showing a "???" code in the template. NA is "not applicable". Descriptions of the options can be found at WikiProject Georgia/Quality scale.
  • importance: Top, High, Mid, Low, NA. If blank, this will default as unknown importance. NA is "not applicable". Only Top will have a visible effect on the template - the other options will just assign the correct category. Descriptions of the options can be found at WikiProject Georgia/Importance scale.
  • attention: Answer yes if the page needs immediate attention. Leave blank or delete if not.
  • past-biography: If this article has previously been selected as the Project's biography of the month, enter date as "Month Year". For example, "past-biography=February 2007"
  • past-collaboration: If this article has previously been selected as the Project's collaboration of the month, enter date as "Month Year". For example, "past-collaboration=February 2007"

  • in: Used in conjunction with the imageneeded parameter to place the image request into a specific Georgia County. Leave blank or delete if not. For example, "in=Ben Hill County, Georgia" will place the article talk page into Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Ben Hill County, Georgia.

  • imagedetails: This free-form parameter can be used in conjunction with the imageneeded parameter to add specific details about the images being requested. For example, "imagedetails=Please add a live-action shot to this sports article" will add the following: "An editor suggests the following: Please add a live-action shot to this sports article."
