Project banner

The {{WikiProject Spaceflight}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. The full syntax is as follows:

Spaceflight: Adopt an astronaut / Space stations / Timeline of spaceflight / SpaceX working group C‑class High‑importance

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:

The 3 notes in this template will automatically collapse if more than 2 of them are activated. To change this setting, set or update the |COLLAPSED= parameter.
This banner template includes a link to Portal:Spaceflight, but this portal does not exist - you may have defined |PORTAL= incorrectly or the portal may have been deleted.
Automatic parameter checking is enabled and pages with invalid parameters can be found in the tracking category.

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.

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:Spaceflight articles needing attention.
infobox – set |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:Spaceflight articles needing infoboxes.
needs-image – set |needs-image=yes if the article needs an image or photograph .
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of spaceflight.
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 Yuri Gagarin, use |listas=Gagarin, Yuri so that the talk page will show up in the G's and not the Y'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 Spaceship Company, use |listas=Spaceship Company, The so that the talk page will show up in the S'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.
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.
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.

Working groups

astronaut – set |astronaut=yes if the article is supported by adopt an astronaut.
- This parameter populates Category:Adopt an astronaut articles.
stations – set |stations=yes if the article is supported by the space stations working group.
- This parameter populates Category:Space stations working group articles.
TLS – set |TLS=yes if the article is supported by the timeline of spaceflight working group.
- This parameter populates Category:Timeline of spaceflight working group articles.
