==About this template==
This template is the project banner for '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Science|WikiProject History of Science]]'''.

The template is to be placed on '''talk pages''' (only) of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (basically anything to do with the histories of science, technology, and medicine, as well as science studies, STS, etc.).

This template automatically assigns the category [[:Category:WikiProject History of Science articles]] to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated WikiProject categories are used in various ways by the Project in the overall management of the Project's workload.

This template contains optional parameters, details of usage are given below.

==Usage instructions==
General syntax options for this template are as follows:
 <nowiki>{{HistSci
  |class=
  |importance=
  |type=
}}</nowiki>
The parameters are named, and (if used) must be entered exactly as-is (note, all are lowercase).

The ''class'' and ''importance'' parameters are associated with the Project's '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Science/Assessment|article assessment and rating scheme]]'''. These parameters add a category to the talkpage, which category depends on the values chosen.

=== Parameter values ===
==== Class ====
This optional parameter records the Project '''quality assessment rating''' currently assigned to the particular article on whose talkpage the project banner appears.

If unassigned, or an invalid value is given, the parameter defaults to "unassigned" and the template places the talkpage into [[:Category:Unassessed-Class history of science articles]].

Valid values for this parameter, their associated meanings and categories are given in the table below. Values should be typed as shown (eg ''|class=GA'' ):

==== Importance ====
This optional parameter records the Project '''priority assessment rating''' currently assigned to the particular article on whose talkpage the project banner appears.

If unassigned, or an invalid value is given, or the ''class'' parameter is set to "NA", the parameter defaults to "unassigned" and the template places the talkpage into [[:Category:Unknown-importance history of science articles]].

Valid values for this parameter, their associated meanings and categories are given in the table below. Values should be typed as shown (eg ''|importance=Mid'' ):

==== Type ====
Whether the page is an article, list, or template.  The type will decide which category the page will be put in.  If no type is entred, or an unknown type, the page will be listed with the articles, but no article tag will appear on the template. 

'''Note''': The type stat is is Cap sensitive. Please enter it as seen below to avoid errors.

* ''Article'' - '''The default'''.  Puts the page into [[:Category:WikiProject History of Science articles]].
* ''List'' - For any kind of list about the history of science.  Puts the page into [[:Category:WikiProject History of Science lists]].
* ''Template'' - For templates about the history of science.  Puts the page into [[:Category:WikiProject History of Science templates]].
* ''Category'' - For categories about the history of science.  Puts the page into [[:Category:WikiProject History of Science categories]]
