Usage
[edit]Project banner
[edit]The {{WikiProject Comics}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. This template automatically adds articles to Category:WikiProject Comics articles. The full syntax is as follows:
{{WikiProject Comics
|class=
|importance=

Parameters
[edit]General 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 listed in the custom importance mask. 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. - attention – set
|attention=yesif 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:Comics articles needing attention.
- cleanup – set
|cleanup=yesif the article requires general cleaning up. Please detail what aspects of the article require clean-up on the article's talk page, otherwise the tag can be removed without redress to the problems.- This parameter populates Category:Comics articles needing cleanup.
- fiction – set
|fiction=yesif the article needs rewriting to maintain an out of universe approach per Wikipedia:Writing about fiction.- This parameter populates Category:Comics articles that need to differentiate between fact and fiction.
- future – set
|future=yesif the article contains discussion of comics that have been announced but are currently unpublished. Such articles should avoid recentism and statements that will date quickly.- This parameter populates Category:Discussion of future comics.
- needs-image – set
|needs-image=yesif the article requires an image, which should be added per guidance.- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of comics.
- needs-infobox – set
|needs-infobox=yesif the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles.- This parameter populates Category:Comics articles without infoboxes.
- 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 Bob Kane, use
|listas=Kane, Bobso that the talk page will show up in the K's and not the B'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 Family Circus, use|listas=Family Circus, Theso that the talk page will show up in the F'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=noif, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
Reviews and collaborations:
- A-Class – set
|A-Class=current,|A-Class=passor|A-Class=failif the article indicates the status of the article's A-Class review.
- collaboration-candidate – set
|collaboration-candidate=yesif the page is a candidate to be the project collaboration.- This parameter populates Category:Comics collaboration candidates.
- current-collaboration – set
|current-collaboration=yesif the page is currently the project collaboration.- This parameter populates Category:Current comics collaboration.
- past-collaboration – set
|past-collaboration=yes(or any non-blank value other than "no", "n", "0" or "¬", such as the dates it was part of the collaboration) if the page was a past project collaboration.- This parameter populates Category:Past comics collaboration.
- peer-review – set
|peer-review=yesif the article is currently undergoing a peer review, or to request that the peer review process for this page should be begun. - old-peer-review – set
|old-peer-review=yesif the article has had a peer review which is now archived.- This parameter populates Category:Old requests for comics peer review.
- article-title – If the peer review page has been started, but is not at
Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Peer review/{{SUBJECTPAGENAME}}, set this parameter; i.e. if the peer review page isWikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Peer review/Foobar, set|article-title=Foobar.
Portals:
- portalX-name – if the article has been selected for use on a portal, the name of that portal. The name should be given without any formatting or namespace prefixes; thus, Portal:Comics is given as "
|portal1-name=Comics". Up to five different portals may be specified, via the parameters portal1-name through portal5-name. - portalX-link – the portal subpage location where the article may be found on the corresponding portal. This should be given as a pure unlinked subpage name; thus, Portal:Comics/Featured article/9 is given as "
|portal1-link=Featured article/9".
