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 6 task forces and work groups will automatically collapse if more than 5 of them are displayed. To change this setting, set or update the ‹See TfM›|TF_COLLAPSE= parameter.
  • The 3 notes in this template will automatically collapse if more than 2 of them are activated. To change this setting, set or update the ‹See TfM›|COLLAPSED= parameter.
  • This banner template includes a link to Portal:Linguistics, and the accompanying image is File:Noun-linguistics.svg. See the instructions on how to change this.
  • Automatic parameter checking is enabled and pages with invalid parameters can be found in the tracking category.

👁 Warning
This template is used on approximately 17,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Usage

The {{}} project banner template should be added (not substituted) to the talk page of every article within the scope of WikiProject Linguistics. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner.

For quickly adding this banner to talk pages, use the basic syntax:

{{WikiProject Linguistics|class=class|importance=importance}}

If you want the full range of options, the syntax is as follows: 

{{WikiProject Linguistics
|importance= <!-- Top, High, Mid, Low, NA -->
|class= <!-- FA, A, GA, B, C, Start, Stub, FL, List, Category, Disambig, File, Portal, Project, Template, NA -->
|maindykdate=
|needs-image=
|attention=
<!-- Task forces -->
|applied=
|etymology=
|philosophy=
|phonetics=
|sfl=
|theoretical=
}}

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.

General parameters

  • 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.
  • 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: 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.
  • 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
  • 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 Noah Webster, use |listas=Webster, Noah so that the talk page will show up in the W's and not the N'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 Language Instinct, use |listas=Language Instinct, The so that the talk page will show up in the L'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.
  • maindykdate – set |maindykdate=yes if the date the article appeared in "Did You Know?" on the Main Page, if applicable.
  • needs-image – set |needs-image=yes if the article would benefit from having more images.
  • 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.

Editing this template

This template may be used on many Wikipedia articles, so damage to this template could have wide-ranging effects. Unfortunately, the template is also difficult to edit properly, since it uses rather complicated parser programming. Please use the utmost caution when changing this template.
