Usage
To add an article to our worklist, put this template at the top of the article's Talk page with the following parameters:
{{WikiProject Alien
|class=XXX
|importance=YYY
}}
where class is chosen from this assessment scale, and importance is the importance to the Alien franchise according to this scale. Comments that explain the rating may be added by clicking on the link within the template; other comments and questions belong on the Talk page of the article itself.
There are, in addition, several optional arguments that you may use with this template:
{{WikiProject Alien
|class=XXX Described above
|importance=YYY Described above
|listas=ZZZZ Lists the page by an alternate name in categories, etc.
}}
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. - 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 Sigourney Weaver, use
|listas=Weaver, Sigourneyso that the talk page will show up in the W's and not the S'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. - 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.
- Use the
listasfield to change how the article is listed in categories and other filters. Use to list individual people by surname or for topics with titles beginning with an article such as "the" or "a". for example, for the article Sigourney Weaver uselistas=Weaver, Sigourney.
