Basic usage
Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{WikiProject Visual arts |class= }}</syntaxhighlight>Full usage
It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{WikiProject Visual arts |category= |listas= |class= |auto= |attention= |needs-infobox= |public-art= |rockwell= }}</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. - class – see #Quality assessment below.
Notes and alerts
- auto – this parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
- length – based on the length of the article;
- inherit – because one or more other projects use this class;
- yes or stub (in conjunction with
|class=stub
) – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template.
- 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:Visual arts articles needing attention. - 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:Visual arts articles needing infoboxes.
Task forces
- public-art – set
|public-art=yes
if the article is supported by the public art task force. This parameter populates Category:Public art articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:public art articles by quality based on the|class=
parameter. - rockwell – set
|rockwell=yes
if the article is supported by the Norman Rockwell task force. This parameter populates Category:Norman Rockwell task force articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Norman Rockwell articles by quality based on the|class=
parameter.
Quality assessment
This project uses Wikipedia's content assessment scale. Valid values are shown below.Classification based on class parameter
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:- Redirects will automatically be classified as NA-class and placed in Category:NA-Class visual arts articles.
- Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as NA-class and placed in Category:NA-Class visual arts articles.
Classification based on namespace
In addition, if|class=
is empty, undefined or unrecognized, then the class will be deduced from the namespace of the page when possible.Namespace | Icon | Class | Category | Population |

Optional 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 quality scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave

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. - needs-image – set
|needs-image=yes
to request that a photograph or image be included in the page to improve its quality.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of arts.

- 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.
Quality assessment
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Visual arts}} project banner on its talk page: {{WikiProject Visual arts|class=???}}
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class visual arts articles) | ![]() |
|
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class visual arts articles) | ![]() |
|
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class visual arts articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class visual arts articles) | C | |
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class visual arts articles) | Start | |
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class visual arts articles) | Stub | |
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class visual arts articles) | ![]() |
|
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class visual arts articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class visual arts articles) | NA | |
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed visual arts articles) | ??? |
