[edit] Project banner

The {{WPMILHIST}} 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. Note that task force parameters have two versions: a long form ("Fooish-task-force=") and a short form ("Fooish="), which are completely interchangeable. Note also that the template accepts "Y" or "y" instead of "yes" and "N" or "n" instead of "no". The full syntax is as follows:

{{WPMILHIST

<!-- B-Class 5-criteria checklist -->
<!-- B-Class-1. It is suitably referenced, and all 
major points have appropriate inline citations. -->

<!-- B-Class-2. It reasonably covers the topic, and 
does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. -->

<!-- B-Class-3. It has a defined structure, including 
a lead section and one or more sections of content. -->

<!-- B-Class-4. It is free from major grammatical errors. -->

such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. -->

General parameters:

  • small – "yes" if the banner should be rendered in its miniature size; this should be used sparingly and only on crowded talk pages for the time being.
  • nested – "yes" if the banner is being used in conjunction with {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}.
  • class – a rating of the article's quality; see the assessment department for more details.
  • A-Class – indicates the status of the article's A-Class review, if any; see the review department for more details.
  • peer-review – "yes" if the article is currently listed for peer review by the project; see the review department for more details.
  • old-peer-review – "yes" if the article was previously listed for peer review by the project; see the review department for more details.

B-Class checklist (available only for articles rated as "Stub-Class", "Start-Class", or "B-Class"—see the assessment department for more details):

Portals:

  • portalX-name – if the article has been selected for use on a portal, the name of that portal. The name should be given without any formatting or namespace prefixes; thus, Portal:Italian Wars is given as "|portal1-name=Italian Wars". Up to five different portals may be specified, via the parameters portal1-name through portal5-name.
  • portalX-link – the portal subpage location where the article may be found on the corresponding portal. This should be given as a pure unlinked subpage name; thus, Portal:Italian Wars/Selected event/3 is given as "|portal1-link=Selected event/3".

Task forces (general topics):

Task forces (nations and regions):

Task forces (periods and conflicts):

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