Template:WikiProject Lepidoptera/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject Lepidoptera.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 116,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage[edit]

When you create or find a new page within the scope of WikiProject Lepidoptera please add any of the following to the top of its talk page:

{{WikiProject Lepidoptera |class= |importance= }}

{{WikiProject Lepidoptera |class= |importance= |needs-photo= |listas= }}

{{WikiProject Lepidoptera
|class       = 
|importance  = 
|needs-photo = 
|listas      = 
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds articles to Category:WikiProject Lepidoptera articles.

Optional parameters[edit]

class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. 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 Carl Linnaeus, use |listas=Linnaeus, Carl so that the talk page will show up in the L's and not the C'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.
needs-photo – set |needs-photo=yes to mark the page as needing an image.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of lepidopterans.
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[edit]

The parameters |needs-image=, |image-needed= and |photo-needed= are recognised as aliases for |needs-photo=. If more than one is present, the order of precedence, from highest to lowest, is: |needs-photo= → |needs-image= → |image-needed= → |photo-needed= . Parameters with lower precedence are ignored.
