[edit] Usage

Place {{WikiProject St. Louis}} on the article's talk page. It is also possible to indicate an assessment of the article by including importance and quality as unnamed parameters. For example, a start quality, low priority article can be marked with {{WikiProject St. Louis|class=Start|importance=Low}}.

It is also possible to indicate the WikiProject St. Louis working group associated with the article. For example, {{WikiProject St. Louis|class=B|importance=High|wg=Neighborhoods}} marks a B-class quality, high priority article associated with the history working group. To get a small message box, include small=yes as an option, as in {{WikiProject St. Louis|class=B|importance=High|small=yes}}.

There are actually two ways to specify options with the template. One is to use named parameters, as shown above. Named parameters are specified by the parameter name, an equal sign, and the parameter value. For example, importance=Mid denotes a mid importance. Named parameters are flexible in that the options may be specified in any order and unnecessary options may simply be omitted, unlike with unnamed parameters where the first parameter must be specified in order to specify the second parameter, etc.

An alternative way to specify options with the template is to use unnamed parameters. Either both the assessment and importance must be specified, or all three of assessment, importance, and working group must be specified together. The order by which the options are listed is fixed as in the following:

  {{WikiProject St. Louis | class | importance}}
  {{WikiProject St. Louis | class | importance | wg}}
