This WikiProject banner template uses Module:WikiProject banner, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining project banners. Please report any errors or feature requests to Module talk:WikiProject banner. Information or warnings about the template are below:

The |QUALITY_CRITERIA= parameter is set to custom but there is no custom class mask held at Template:WikiProject Weather/class. Therefore the quality scale has been switched off.
The 16 task forces and/or work groups will automatically collapse if more than 5 of them are displayed. To change this setting, set or update the |TF_COLLAPSE= parameter.
The 11 notes in this template will automatically collapse if more than 2 of them are activated. To change this setting, set or update the |COLLAPSED= parameter.
This banner template includes a link to Portal:Weather, and the accompanying image is File:Cumulus clouds in fair weather.jpeg. See the instructions on how to change this.
Automatic parameter checking is enabled. Create the tracking category to track invalid parameters.
There are too many task forces to check the assessment categories for each one, so the following selection have been checked: 3, 4, 5, 12, 14, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22.

Usage

The {{WikiProject Weather}} 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. The syntax is as follows:

Full

{{WikiProject Weather 
|class= 
|importance= 
|attention= 
|needs-infobox= 
|listas= 

<!-- Task forces -->
|tropical-cyclones-project= 
|atl-task-force= 
|epac-task-force= 
|wpac-task-force= 
|nio-task-force= 
|shem-task-force= 
|non-tropical-storms-task-force= 
|thunderstorms-and-tornadoes-task-force= 
|climate-task-force= 
|floods-task-force= 
|droughts-and-wildfires-task-force= 
|met-data-task-force= 
|biographies-task-force= 
|general-meteorology-task-force= 
|space-weather-task-force= 
|2018-ft-task-force=
}}

General parameters

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.
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:Weather 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:Weather articles needing 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 John Doe, use |listas=Doe, John so that the talk page will show up in the D's and not the J'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.

Special use only

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.
