Template:WikiProject Algeria/sandbox

Template documentation

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

Basic usage

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

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{WikiProject Algeria |category= |listas= |class= |importance= |attention= |needs-infobox= |needsphoto= |type= |in= |assess-date= }}</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:Algeria articles needing attention.
• needs-infobox – set |needs-infobox=yes if the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles. This parameter populates Category:Algeria articles without infoboxes.
• needsphoto – to request that an image or photograph be added to the page.
• type – overrides the default text (an image or photograph); also used to categorise the request.
• in – specify the location of the requested image. Will be categorised into Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in LOCATION, where LOCATION is the value of the |in= paramater. If no location is specified then Category:Algeria articles needing photos is used by default.
• assess-date – set |assess-date=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "This article was last assessed on {{{assess-date}}}."

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 Redirect-class and placed in Category:Redirect-Class Algeria articles.
• Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as NA-class and placed in Category:NA-Class Algeria 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 Algeria articles	0
File talk
TimedText talk
Category talk
Template talk
Module talk
Project talk
Help talk
MediaWiki talk
Portal talk		Portal	Category:Portal-Class Algeria articles	0
Draft talk		Draft	Category:Draft-Class Algeria articles	0

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