Usage

{{WikiProject Ohio|class=|importance=}}

• Assign the class of the article by passing the |class= parameter to one of the classes detailed at {{grading scheme}}

• Assign the importance of the article by passing the |importance= parameter, instructions are detailed here.

Assignment places the article in the appropriate category. All articles join Category:WikiProject Ohio articles, all articles without a |class= parameter are assigned to Category:Unassessed Ohio articles, and all articles without an |importance= parameter are assigned to Category:Unknown-importance Ohio articles.

Parameters

• class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, 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 Ohio articles.
• 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:Ohio 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:Ohio articles needing infoboxes.
• needs-geocoord – set |needs-geocoord=yes if the article lacks Geocoordinate data.
  • This parameter populates Category:Ohio articles missing geocoordinate data.

• needs-image – set |needs-image=yes to request that an image or photograph be added to the page.
  • type – overrides the default text (image or photograph); also used to categorise the request.
  • details – additional text to insert before the words "be added to this article" to describe the subject or type of image that is requested.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Ohio.
  • topic – use in conjunction with |type= to override the above and instead categorise the request into either Wikipedia requested types of topic or Wikipedia requested photographs of topic.
• unref – set |unref=yes if the article lacks sufficient references and adequate inline citations.
  • This parameter populates Category:Unreferenced Ohio 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 Ruben Patterson, use |listas=Patterson, Ruben so that the talk page will show up in the P's and not the R'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 Art Institute of Cincinnati, use |listas=Art Institute of Cincinnati, The so that the talk page will show up in the A'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.
  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.

Task forces

• township – set |township=yes if the article is supported by the Townships task force.
  • This parameter populates Category:Ohio townships task force articles.
• Cincinnati – set |Cincinnati=yes if the article is supported by WikiProject Cincinnati.
  • This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Cincinnati articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Cincinnati articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
  • Cincinnati-importance (only used if |Cincinnati=yes is set; uses the same values as |importance=) – Importance rating within WikiProject Cincinnati
    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Cincinnati articles by importance.
• Youngstown – set |Youngstown=yes if the article is supported by WikiProject Youngstown.
  • This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Youngstown articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Youngstown articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.

    • This importance rating populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Youngstown articles by importance.
• Wesleyan – set |Wesleyan=yes if the article is supported by WikiProject Ohio Wesleyan University.
  • This parameter populates Category:WikiProject Ohio Wesleyan University articles, and the relevant subcategory of Category:Ohio Wesleyan University articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
