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.
needs-image – set |needs-image=yes to request that a picture or pictures be included in the article to improve its quality.
imagedetails (appears only if needs-image is set to yes) - Additional details to describe the image that is requested.
in - Used in conjunction with the needs-image parameter to place the image request into a specific location category. Leave blank or delete if not.
- Additional in2 and in3 - Used in conjunction with the needs-image parameter to specify up to two more location categories.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of parks.
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:Protected areas articles needing infoboxes.
needs-map – set |needs-map=yes to request that a map be included in the article to improve its quality.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested maps of protected areas.
auto – This parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
- |auto=length – based on the length of the article
- |auto=inherit – because one or more other projects use this class
- |auto=yes (or |auto=stub), in conjunction with |class=stub – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template
  - Use of the above values (or value combinations) with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed Protected areas 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.
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 Muir, use |listas=Muir, John so that the talk page will show up in the M'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.
