Some of the assessment categories required for Lakes 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.
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.
class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, category, disambig, draft, file, portal, project, redirect, sia, template, 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.
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 Frederick Bateman, use |listas=Bateman, John Frederick so that the talk page will show up in the B's and not the J'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.
Mapneeded – set |Mapneeded=yes to request that a catchment map be added to the article or where a satisfactory Pushpin location map cannot be located.
Mapdetails – (appears only if |Mapneeded=yes) Additional details to specify the kind of map information that is needed.
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.
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 parameter |mapneeded= is recognised as an alias for |Mapneeded=. If both |Mapneeded= and |mapneeded= are present, |mapneeded= is ignored.
