<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow:auto;">

Template documentation

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Transport to keep track of articles within its scope.All articles are categorised into Category:WikiProject Transport articles.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{WikiProject Transport |class= |importance= }}</syntaxhighlight>

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{WikiProject Transport |category= |listas= |class= |importance= |attention= |Maritime-task-force= }}</syntaxhighlight>

Parameters

• category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
• listas – this parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for John Smith, use |listas=Smith, John so that the talk page will show up in the Smith's and not the John's of the various assessment and administrative categories. Similarly, for topics with titles beginning with an article such as "the" or "a" - e.g. for The Matrix, use |listas=Matrix, The so that the talk page will show up in the Matrix's. This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people#Ordering names in a category. It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own {{para|listas}} set, since it affects the sortkey of all banners and templates.
• class – see #Quality assessment below.
• importance – see #Importance assessment below.

Notes and alerts

• attention – set |attention=yes if the article needs immediate attention from experienced editors. Use only if another parameter does not cover the need for attention; this should be used sparingly. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention. This parameter populates Category:Transport articles needing attention.

Task forces

• Maritime-task-force – set |Maritime-task-force=yes if the article is supported by the Maritime task force. This parameter populates Category:maritime transport task force articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:maritime transport task force articles by quality based on the |class= parameter. This parameter uses |maritime-importance= to populate the relevant subcategory of Category:maritime transport task force articles by importance.

Quality assessment

This project uses Wikipedia's content assessment scale. Valid values are shown below.

Classification based on class parameter

Input (not case sensitive)	Icon	Class	Category	Population
FA		FA	Category:FA-Class Transport articles	0
A		A	Category:A-Class Transport articles	0
GA		GA	Category:GA-Class Transport articles	0
B		B	Category:B-Class Transport articles	0
C		C	Category:C-Class Transport articles	0
Start		Start	Category:Start-Class Transport articles	0
Stub		Stub	Category:Stub-Class Transport articles	0
FL		FL	Category:FL-Class Transport articles	0
List		List	Category:List-Class Transport articles	0
NA		NA	Category:NA-Class Transport articles	0
Category		Category	Category:Category-Class Transport articles	0
Disambig		Disambig	Category:Disambig-Class Transport articles	0
Portal		Portal	Category:Portal-Class Transport articles	0
Template		Template	Category:Template-Class Transport articles	0

Classification of redirects and disambiguation pages

If the |class= parameter is not defined and the WikiProject banner is placed on the talk page of a redirect (in any namespace) or disambigation page then it will automatically be classified as follows:

• Redirects will automatically be classified as NA-class and placed in Category:NA-Class Transport articles.
• Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as Disambig-class and placed in Category:Disambig-Class Transport articles.

Classification based on namespace

In addition, if |class= is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.

Namespace	Icon	Class	Category	Population
User talk		NA	Category:NA-Class Transport articles	0
File talk
TimedText talk
Project talk
Draft talk
Help talk
MediaWiki talk
Category talk		Category	Category:Category-Class Transport articles	0
Portal talk		Portal	Category:Portal-Class Transport articles	0
Template talk		Template	Category:Template-Class Transport articles	0
Module talk

In all other circumstances, articles will be classed as Unassessed and placed in Category:Unassessed Transport articles.

Importance assessment

This project uses the standard importance scale. Valid values are shown below.

Input (not case sensitive)	Importance	Category	Population
Top	Top	Category:Top-importance Transport articles	0
High	High	Category:High-importance Transport articles	0
Mid	Mid	Category:Mid-importance Transport articles	0
Low	Low	Category:Low-importance Transport articles	0
NA	NA	Category:NA-importance Transport articles	0

TemplateData

This template identifies the article as being within scope of WikiProject Transport.

Template parameters

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
listas	listas	Define a sort key, mainly for biographical articles, so that the page is sorted under the surname rather than the first name. Example Smith, John	Line	optional
Maritime-task-force	Maritime-task-force	Triggers the Maritime task force in the banner. Suggested values yes no Example yes	Line	optional
category	category	Set to no to display the banner without any categories. For testing or demo purposes; should not be used in articles. Suggested values no	Line	optional
class	class	Assess the quality of the article. Please add this parameter to the banner shell instead. Suggested values Stub Start C B A List GA FA FL Example C	Line	deprecated
importance	importance	Assess the importance or priority of the article to the WikiProject Suggested values Low Mid High Top NA Example low	Line	suggested

Optional parameters

• class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, na (case-insensitive). See the project's quality scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |class= blank or omit the parameter.
• importance – valid values are: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the project's importance scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |importance= blank or omit the parameter.
• attention – set |attention=yes if the article needs immediate attention from experienced editors. Use only if another parameter does not cover the need for attention; this should be used sparingly. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.
  • This parameter populates Category:Transport articles needing attention.
• listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Aristotle Onassis, use |listas=Onassis, Aristotle so that the talk page will show up in the O's and not the A's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
  If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add |listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
• maritime – set |maritime=yes if the article is supported by the Maritime task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Maritime transport task force articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Maritime transport task force articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • maritime-importance (only used if |maritime=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within the Maritime task force
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Maritime transport task force articles by importance.
• category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.

Aliases

• The parameters |Maritime= and |Maritime-task-force= are recognised as aliases for |maritime=. If more than one is present, |Maritime= has precedence over |Maritime-task-force=, and |maritime= has precedence over both of the others: parameters with lower precedence are ignored.
