Project banner

[edit]

The {{WPDRAVCIV}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the Dravidian civilizations WikiProject. 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:

General parameters
  • class – a rating of the article's quality; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Dravidian civilizations/Assessment for more details. Valid values are:
    • FA - The article has reached Featured article status.
    • A - Could be submitted as a Featured article candidate; probably could use some small updates to make it Featured quality.
    • GA - The article has reached Good article status.
    • B - Could be submitted as a Good article nominee; probably could use some updates or may lack some features from the Good article criteria, but it presents a good overview of the subject.
    • Start - The article is more than a stub, but may lack some important aspects of the topic's discussion.
    • Stub - The article is a stub; it likely contains one of the former countries stub templates.
    • Needed - The article does not yet exist but has been identified as a subject that should be covered OR the article is currently just a redirect.
    • NA - The page is not an article and should not be rated. This class has a number of sub-categories:
      • Cat - Category
      • Dab - Disambiguation
      • Template - Templates such as infoboxes and navbars
      • List - Pages containing only a list of some sort
Maintenance parameters (set it to "yes" to include it)
Wikiproject specific parameters
Geography
Others

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.

Notes
  • Please use lowercase forms.. The uppercase forms generally do not work.
  • A few redlink categories need fixing to get the Portal / Review functions working.
  • The image request feature is listed "below the fold" when used. If people feel this is a problem, please let me know.
  • Please report any other errors if you see them.
Credit where it is due

This template is basically based on the excellent {{WPFC}} banner.
