![]() | This is the template sandbox page for Template:WikiProject Germany (diff). |
![]() | This template is used on approximately 161,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
[edit]The {{WikiProject Germany}} 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 full syntax is as follows:
{{WikiProject Germany
| class =
| importance =
| attention =
| needs-infobox =
| imageneeded =
| imagedetails =
| mapneeded =
| mapdetails =
| unref =
| listas =
| GDR =
| GDRImp =
| Hamburg =
| HamburgImp =
| HRE-taskforce =
| HREImp =
| Mainz =
| MainzImp =
| Munich =
| MunichImp =
| Prussia =
| Transport =
}}
To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.

Template display formatting parameters
[edit]- 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 Johannes Althusius, use
|listas=Althusius, Johannes
so that the talk page will show up in the A's and not the J'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 A Time to Love and a Time to Die, use|listas=Time to Love and a Time to Die, A
so that the talk page will show up in the T'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=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.
