Usage

Project banner

The {{philosophy}} 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:

{{philosophy
|small=
|nested=
|class= (FA, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, List, Cat, or Template)
|A-Class= 
|peer-review= 
|old-peer-review= 
|attention= 
<!-- Portals -->
|portal1-name=
|portal1-link=
|portal2-name=
|portal2-link=
|portal3-name=
|portal3-link=
|portal4-name=

<!-- Task forces (core areas) -->

<!-- Task forces (major fields) -->

<!-- Task forces (major traditions) -->
|analytic=

|marxism=
<!-- Task forces (periods) -->
|ancient= 
|medieval= 
|modern=
|contemporary= 
}}

General parameters:

small – "yes" if the banner should be rendered in its miniature size; this should be used sparingly and only on crowded talk pages for the time being.
nested – "yes" if the banner is being used in conjunction with {{WikiProjectBannerShell}}.
class – a rating of the article's quality; see the assessment department for more details.
auto – "yes" if the article has been automatically assessed; see the automation department for more details.
A-Class – indicates the status of the article's A-Class review, if any; see the review department for more details.
peer-review – "yes" if the article is currently listed for peer review by the project; see the review department for more details.
old-peer-review – "yes" if the article was previously listed for peer review by the project; see the review department for more details.
attention – "yes" if the article requires immediate attention; see Category:Philosophy articles needing attention for more details on when this should be used.

Portals:

portalX-name – if the article has been selected for use on a portal, the name of that portal. The name should be given without any formatting or namespace prefixes; thus, Portal:Epistemology is given as "|portal1-name=Epistemology". Up to five different portals may be specified, via the parameters portal1-name through portal5-name.
portalX-link – the portal subpage location where the article may be found on the corresponding portal. This should be given as a pure unlinked subpage name; thus, Portal:Epistemology/Selected event/3 is given as "|portal1-link=Selected event/3".
