Template talk:WP Writing systems
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This template is the project banner for WikiProject Writing systems, a WikiProject concerned with the improvement of content, coverage and organisation of articles and other materials relating to writing systems.
The template is to be placed on talk pages of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (at or near the top of the talkpage). It contains some brief information and links for the Project, and also an expandable view of the Project's current priority open tasklist.
This template automatically assigns the category Category:WikiProject Writing system articles to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated Project categories are used in various ways by the Project in the overall management of the Project's workload.
This template contains several (optional) parameters, details of usage are given below.
[edit] Usage instructions
General syntax options for this template are as follows:
{{WP Writing systems
|class=
|importance=
|attention=
|reassess=
}}
The parameters are named, and (if used) must be entered exactly as-is (note, all are lowercase).
The class and importance parameters are associated with the Project's article assessment and rating scheme. These parameters add a category to the talkpage, which category depends on the values chosen.
[edit] Parameter values
- class
This optional parameter records the Project quality assessment rating currently assigned to the particular article on whose talkpage the project banner appears.
If unassigned, or an invalid value is given, the parameter defaults to "unassigned" and the template places the talkpage into Category:Unassessed Writing system articles.
Valid values for this parameter, their associated meanings and categories are given in the table below. Values should be typed as shown (eg |class=GA ):
| Value | Meaning | Category |
|---|---|---|
| FA | Articles which are currently Featured status articles | FA-Class Writing system articles |
| A | A-class articles; | A-Class Writing system articles |
| GA | Articles with a current Good article status | GA-Class Writing system articles |
| B | B-class articles; | B-Class Writing system articles |
| Start | Start-class articles; | Start-Class Writing system articles |
| Stub | Stub-class articles; | Stub-Class Writing system articles |
| NA | Not applicable; for miscellaneous pages which do not require an assessment | Non-article Writing system pages |
- importance
This optional parameter records the Project priority assessment rating currently assigned to the particular article on whose talkpage the project banner appears.
If unassigned, or an invalid value is given, or the class parameter is set to "NA", the parameter defaults to "unassigned" and the template places the talkpage into Category:Unassigned-importance Writing system articles.
Valid values for this parameter, their associated meanings and categories are given in the table below. Values should be typed as shown (eg |importance=Mid ):
| Value | Meaning | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Top | For "key" articles, considered indispensable to any survey of Writing system | Top-importance Writing system articles |
| High | For High-priority topics and needed subtopics of "key" articles | High-importance Writing system articles |
| Mid | For Mid-priority articles on more specialised (sub-)topics | Mid-importance Writing system articles |
| Low | For still notable, but more highly-specialised or even obscure topics | Low-importance Writing system articles |
- attention
This optional parameter is used as a flag to identify the article as in need of particular attention and review, such as in cases of dubious factual material or POV concerns.
If used, the parameter adds the Category:Writing system articles needing attention. This category is monitored by the Project.
To set this parameter flag, use |attention=yes .
- reassess
This optional parameter is used as a flag to identify the article as in need of an independent or second-opinion assessment of its current or proposed rating, such as after making substantial revisions to the article, or where the status may be unclear or even disputed.
If used, the parameter adds the Category:Writing system articles needing reassessment. This category is monitored by the Project.
To set this parameter flag, use |reassess=yes .
[edit] Template Looks Good
Looks fine to me. Let us know when you've finished it, so that we can use it. Badbilltucker 15:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
- The template is finished, though there are still a few small things that should probably be ironed out. I'm starting to use it anyway. The ikiroid (talk·desk·Advise me) 22:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
