Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds articles to ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:WikiProject The Beatles articles.

Optional parameters

• album – set |album=yes if the page is within the scope of WikiProject Albums.
  • This parameter populates ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:WikiProject Albums articles, and the relevant subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Album articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
• 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 ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:The Beatles articles needing attention.
• british-english – set |british-english=yes to display the British-English above the WikiProject banner.
• 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.
  • If |apple=yes is also set, this parameter populates the appropriate subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Apple Corps and Apple Records articles by quality. Also alters the banner text from "This Beatles-related page" to "This Apple Records/Apple Corps-related page".
  • If |epstein=yes is also set, this parameter populates the appropriate subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Brian Epstein articles by quality. Also alters the banner text from "This Beatles-related page" to "This Brian Epstein/NEMS-related page".
  • If |george=yes is also set, this parameter populates the appropriate subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:George Harrison articles by quality.
  • If |john=yes is also set, this parameter populates the appropriate subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:John Lennon articles by quality.
  • If |martin=yes is also set, this parameter populates the appropriate subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:George Martin articles by quality. Also alters the banner text from "This Beatles-related page" to "This George Martin-related page".
  • If |ono=yes is also set, this parameter populates the appropriate subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Yoko Ono articles by quality.
  • If |paul=yes is also set, this parameter populates the appropriate subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Paul McCartney articles by quality.
  • If |ringo=yes is also set, this parameter populates the appropriate subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Ringo Starr articles by quality.
• collaboration – set |collaboration=yes if the article is the current project collaboration, or was the project collaboration on at least one previous occasion.
• display – allows the word "Beatles" in the banner text "This Beatles-related page" to be altered.
• 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 Paul McCartney, use |listas=McCartney, Paul so that the talk page will show up in the M's and not the P'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-image – set |needs-image=yes if the article needs an image to improve its quality.
• 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 ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:The Beatles articles needing infoboxes.
• song – set |song=yes if the page is within the scope of WikiProject Songs.
  • This parameter populates ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:WikiProject Songs articles, and the relevant subcategory of ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:song articles by quality based upon the |class= parameter.
• 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.
