Usage

The {{WikiProject Trains}} 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 Trains
| small               =
| class               =
| importance          =
| portaldykdate       =
| portalSAweek        =
| portalSIweek        =
| unref               =
| pr                  =
| oldpr               =
| stations            =
| streetcars          =
| streetcars-importance =
| subway              =
| Subway-importance   =
| NYPT                =
| NYPT-importance     =
| Japan               =

| UKTrams-importance  =

| NZR-importance      =

| Jamaica-importance  =
| DE                  =
| DE-importance       =
| India               =
| India-importance    =
| bycountry           =
| images              =
| locos               =
| maint               =
| maps                =
| model               =
| monorail            =
| operations          =
| passenger           =
| portal              =
| timelines           =
| mapneeded           =
| Mapdetails          =
| imageneeded         =
| Imagedetails        =
| infoboxneeded       =
| listas              =
}}

It is important that the capitalisation shown above be used. For example, using |Streetcars=yes by mistake for |streetcars=yes will fail to place the article within WikiProject Streetcars; similarly, using |underground=yes instead of |Underground=yes will not add the article to WikiProject London Transport.

Template display formatting parameters:

  • small - show the normal or reduced size template; shows the reduced size template if small=yes.
  • 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 Richard Trevithick, |listas=Trevithick, Richard, so that the talk page will show up in the T's and not the R'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.
    It is not required if an earlier WikiProject template on the same page has its own |listas= set.

Article assessment parameters:

  • class:

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Trains}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class rail transport articles)  FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class rail transport articles)  A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class rail transport articles)  GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class rail transport articles) B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class rail transport articles) C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class rail transport articles) Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class rail transport articles) Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class rail transport articles)  FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class rail transport articles) List

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:

Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class rail transport pages) Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class rail transport pages) Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class rail transport pages) Draft
FM (for featured media only; adds pages to Category:FM-Class rail transport pages)  FM
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class rail transport pages) File
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class rail transport pages) Portal
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class rail transport pages) Project
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class rail transport pages) Redirect
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class rail transport pages) Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class rail transport pages) NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed rail transport articles) ???
  • importance:

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Trains}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Trains|importance=???}}

The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):

Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance rail transport articles)  Top 
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance rail transport articles)  High 
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance rail transport articles)  Mid 
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance rail transport articles)  Low 
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance rail transport articles)  NA 
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance rail transport articles)  ??? 

Portal appearance parameters:

  • portaldykdate - the date when a fact from the associated article appeared in the "Did you know" section of Portal:Trains.
  • portalSAweek - the week number and year when the article appeared in the "Selected article" section
  • portalSIweek - the week number and year when the image appeared in the "Selected picture" section

Project work parameters (set them to "yes" to include them):

Subproject maintenance parameters (set them to "yes" to include them; note that these are not mutually exclusive):

Task force maintenance parameters (set them to "yes" to include them):

Miscellaneous maintenance parameters (set them to "yes" to include them):

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