Usage

To add an article to our worklist, place this template at the top of an article's talk page with the following parameters:

{{WikiProject Politics
 | class = 
 | importance = 
}}

or

{{WikiProject Politics |class= |importance= }}

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.

"Comments that explain the rating" may be added by clicking on the link within the template; other comments and questions can be discussed on the article's talk page.

Maintenance parameters

 |attention=
 |needs-infobox=
 |needs-image=
 |listas=

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:Politics 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:Politics articles needing infoboxes.

image – set |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 images of politics.
- location – use in conjunction with |type= to override the above and instead categorise the request into either Wikipedia requested types in location or Wikipedia requested photographs in location.
- topic – use in conjunction with |type= to categorise the request into either Wikipedia requested types of topic or Wikipedia requested photographs of topic.
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 politics articles.
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

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 David Cameron, use |listas=Cameron, David so that the talk page will show up in the C's and not the D'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.

For more information about the sort key, please see Wikipedia's institutions for sort by surname.
