Template:WikiProject Norway/sandbox

Template documentation

This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Norway to keep track of articles within its scope. All articles are categorised into Category:WikiProject Norway articles.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:
{{WikiProject Norway |class= |priority= }}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.
{{WikiProject Norway |category= |listas= |class= |priority= |auto= |needs-photo= }}

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.
• priority – see #Importance 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.
  Use of the above values with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed Norway articles.
• needs-photo – set |needs-photo=yes or any non-blank value other than "no", "n" or "0". The following message will be displayed: "It is requested that an image or images be included in this article to improve its quality." This will populate Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Norway.

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 Redirect-class and placed in Category:Redirect-Class Norway articles.
• Disambiguation pages will automatically be classified as Disambig-class and placed in Category:Disambig-Class Norway 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
User talk		NA	Category:NA-Class Norway articles	29
Project talk
Help talk
MediaWiki talk
File talk		File	Category:File-Class Norway articles	884
TimedText talk
Category talk		Category	Category:Category-Class Norway articles	12,919
Portal talk		Portal	Category:Portal-Class Norway articles	15
Template talk		Template	Category:Template-Class Norway articles	1,078
Module talk
Draft talk		Draft	Category:Draft-Class Norway articles	44

In all other circumstances, articles will be classed as Unassessed and placed in Category:Unassessed Norway articles.
