This template categorizes pages using assessment grades and an importance scale, through built-in transclusions. An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters in the {{WikiProject Venezuela|class=|importance=}} talk page banner.

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:

This banner template includes a link to Portal:Venezuela, and the accompanying image is File:Flag of Venezuela.svg. See the instructions on how to change this.
Automatic parameter checking is enabled. Create the tracking category to track invalid parameters.

Some of the assessment categories required for Venezuela 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.

Note: this template should not be substituted (subst:) because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages, without having to edit hundreds of pages.

Parameters

class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, category, disambig, draft, file, portal, project, 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.
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 Venezuela articles.
autoi – set |autoi=yes if it is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically prioritized.
- This parameter populates Category:Automatically prioritized Venezuela articles.
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 Juan Vicente Gómez, use |listas=Gómez, Juan Vicente so that the talk page will show up in the G'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.
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.
