Instructions
Syntax
The full syntax is as follows:
{{WikiProject Journalism
|class=
|importance=
|attention=
|auto=
|needs-infobox=
}}
General parameters
- 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:Journalism articles needing attention.
- 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. - 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 Charles Dickens, use
|listas=Dickens, Charles
so that the talk page will show up in the D's and not the C'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-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:Journalism articles needing infoboxes.
- 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 Journalism 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.
Quality assessment
An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Journalism}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.
The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Journalism articles) | ![]() |
|
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Journalism articles) | ![]() |
|
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Journalism articles) | ![]() |
|
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Journalism articles) | B | |
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Journalism articles) | C | |
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class Journalism articles) | Start | |
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Journalism articles) | Stub | |
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Journalism articles) | ![]() |
|
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class Journalism articles) | List |
For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:
Quality scale
Importance assessment
An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Journalism}} project banner on its talk page:
The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):
Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance Journalism articles) | Top | |
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Journalism articles) | High | |
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Journalism articles) | Mid | |
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Journalism articles) | Low | |
