[edit] About the template

This template adds article talk pages, category talk pages, template talk pages, etc (whatever it is placed on) to Category:WikiProject Led Zeppelin articles. It is also used to track article classifications and presents readers with a current "to do" list.

Please be very careful when editing this template if you don't understand MediaWiki Parser Functions. This template is now very complicated and could easily be broken. (Note that you may find m:Magic_words and m:ParserFunctions very helpful in understanding what this does... consider consulting with User:MegX or User:Anger22 before making any changes, please)

The usage instructions are now stored in a separate page - Wikipedia:WikiProject Led Zeppelin/Project banner - and may be safely edited by any project member.

[edit] Usage

Please note: This template should be transcluded ({{WP Led Zeppelin}}) 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 hundreds of pages.

A simple way to use the template is to copy the following onto the talk page, and then optionally remove the unnecessary lines. If any further help is needed, please ask at WT:LZ or ask User:MegX or User:Anger22.

[edit] Parameters

living: Answer yes if the subject is a living person, no if is a dead person; Answer NA or remove the line if the article is not a biography. Articles tagged yes get a living persons bio warning and are placed in Category:Biography articles of living people.
class: Options are FA, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, Dab (disambiguation page), Template, Cat (category), Merge, MergeDel (merge or delete), Merged, AFD (deletion candidate), NA (no class, e.g. a WikiProject page). If blank, this will default as Unassessed. Descriptions of the options can be found at WP:LZA#Article progress grading scheme.
importance: Top, High, Mid, Low. If blank, this will default as Unknown importance. Descriptions of the options can be found at WP:LZA#Article importance grading scheme.
swan, page, plant, jones, bonham, grant, jbonham: Answer yes to any of these if the article is about specifically Swan Song Records, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones (musician), John Bonham, Peter Grant (music manager), or Jason Bonham. Otherwise, remove. Setting any of these to yes will place the article in the appropriate subtopic's assessment category. The Mathbot-created worklists can be viewed at the following locations:
- Swan Song Records: (Index · Statistics · Log)
- Jimmy Page: (Index · Statistics · Log)
- Robert Plant: (Index · Statistics · Log)
- John Paul Jones: (Index · Statistics · Log)
- John Bonham: (Index · Statistics · Log)
- Peter Grant: (Index · Statistics · Log)
- Jason Bonham: (Index · Statistics · Log)
also-led-zeppelin: If you've answered yes in any of the above (page, plant, jones, etc) and the subject is also relevant to Led Zeppelin as a group answer yes. Otherwise, remove the line. Examples: The article Jimmy Page is most certainly relevant to Led Zeppelin, so answer yes. Coverdale-Page is a post-Led Zeppelin album, answer no or remove the line.
- Led Zeppelin: (Index · Statistics · Log)
musician=yes If yes, the article is added to the assessment categories belonging to WikiProject Musicians.
arts=yes If yes, the article is added to the categories belonging to the Arts and entertainment workgroup. Don't set musician and arts to yes; musician is a higher level.
display: a text string to display before "-related" in the template text. (grant=yes forces the template to display "Peter-Grant-related"; set display=Led Zeppelin to force it back to "Led-Zeppelin-related") Remove this parameter if not setting it. An empty display=parameter doesn't work. Wikilinks may be included, for example: display=[[The Firm (band)|The Firm]]
album: Answer yes if the subject is an album. This displays a message that the article is within the scope of WikiProject Albums, and adds it to the categories Category:WikiProject Albums articles, Category:Album articles by quality, and Category:Album articles by importance. Once again, this allows our articles to be assessed for another WikiProject too.
- Albums: (Index · Statistics · Log)
song: Answer yes if the subject is a song. Displays a message that the article is within the scope of WikiProject Songs, and adds it to the categories Category:WikiProject Songs articles and Category:Song articles by quality.
- Songs: (Index · Statistics · Log).
album-importance, song-importance: these are the importance levels of this article to the Album and Song WikiProjects. It's ok to delete these lines if you're not totally confident in how to use the template. WikiProject Songs don't currently assess importance, so this parameter is ignored.
bio-importance: Importance to WikiProject Musicians or the Arts and entertainment workgroup. Has no affect if neither musician= or arts= are yes.
attention: Answer yes if the page needs immediate attention, otherwise remove this line. If yes a banner message is displayed and the article is placed in Category:WikiProject Led Zeppelin articles needing attention (and Category:Biography articles needing attention if a biography).
needs-infobox: Answer yes if the article lacks an infobox, otherwise remove this line. This places the article in Category:WikiProject Led Zeppelin articles needing infoboxes. If the article is about an album, it also displays the {{Needsinfobox}} template and places the article in Category:Album articles needing infoboxes. If the article is about a song, a banner is displayed and the article is placed in Category:Articles in need of Song Infoboxes. If the article is a biography, it is placed in Category:Biography articles needing infoboxes.

[edit] Example 1: basic

{{WP Led Zeppelin}}

For main space articles which have not yet been assessed, simply use {{WP Led Zeppelin}}. This default places the article in Category:Unassessed Led Zeppelin articles and Category:Unknown-importance Led Zeppelin articles, and doesn't change the wording of the template in any way.
