This WikiProject banner template uses Module:WikiProject banner, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining project banners. Please report any errors or feature requests to Module talk:WikiProject banner. Information or warnings about the template are below:
Automatic parameter checking is enabled and pages with invalid parameters can be found in the tracking category.
Some of the assessment categories required for Alternative Views do not currently exist, and should to be created to avoid redlinks appearing on talk pages. Alternatively, you may need to set or update the |ASSESSMENT_CAT= parameter in this template.
The following categories are required for the banner to work correctly. Please either create these categories or adjust the banner so that they are not required.
Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{WikiProject Alternative Views |class= |importance= }}</syntaxhighlight>
Full usage
It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{WikiProject Alternative Views |category= |listas= |class= |importance= }}</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.
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:
