Usage

The {{WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology}} 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:

Syntax

{{WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology
|class=
|A-Class=
|attention=
|imageneeded=
|imagedetails=
|infoboxneeded=
|portal=
|portalbio=
}}

Use in practice

{{WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology
|class=A                               <!-- FA, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, NA, Needed or List-->
|A-Class=pass                          <!-- Pass, fail or current [nominee]. Can be used -->

|attention=yes                         <!-- Immediate attention required. Needed by some bots. -->
                                       <!-- More information available at -->

}}

General parameters:

class – a rating of the article's quality; see Wikipedia:WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology/Assessment for more details.

An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology}} banner template on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following standard grades may be used to describe the quality of mainspace articles (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):

FA	(for featured articles only; adds them to the FA-Class heraldry and vexillology articles category)	FA
FL	(for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class heraldry and vexillology articles category)	FL
A	(for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class heraldry and vexillology articles category)	A
GA	(for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class heraldry and vexillology articles category)	GA
B	(for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class heraldry and vexillology articles category)	B
C	(for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class heraldry and vexillology articles category)	C
Start	(for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class heraldry and vexillology articles category)	Start
Stub	(for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class heraldry and vexillology articles category)	Stub
List	(for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class heraldry and vexillology articles category)	List
NA	(for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to the NA-Class heraldry and vexillology pages category)	NA
???	(articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in the Unassessed heraldry and vexillology articles category)	???

For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:

Category	(for categories; adds them to the Category-Class heraldry and vexillology pages category)	Category
Draft	(for drafts; adds them to the Draft-Class heraldry and vexillology pages category)	Draft
File	(for files and timed text; adds them to the File-Class heraldry and vexillology pages category)	File
Portal	(for portal pages; adds them to the Portal-Class heraldry and vexillology pages category)	Portal
Project	(for project pages; adds them to the Project-Class heraldry and vexillology pages category)	Project
Template	(for templates and modules; adds them to the Template-Class heraldry and vexillology pages category)	Template

The following non-standard assessment grades for mainspace content may be used at a WikiProject's discretion:

Disambig	(for disambiguation pages; adds them to the Disambig-Class heraldry and vexillology pages category)		Disambig
Redirect	(for redirect pages; adds them to the Redirect-Class heraldry and vexillology pages category)		Redirect

See: Wikipedia:WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology/Assessment for the quality scale.

Maintenance parameters (answer yes to include them):

attention - articles needing immediate attention.
imageneeded - The article needs an image (other than a map); adds articles to Category:Heraldry and vexillology articles needing images.
- imagedetails (appears only if imageneeded is set to yes) - Additional details to describe the image that is requested.
infoboxneeded - articles needing an infobox.

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

Notes

Please use lowercase forms. E.g. imageneeded, imagedetails and yes. The uppercase forms generally do not work.
A few redlink categories need fixing to get the Portal / Review functions working. The needed category tree can be seen under the WP:MILHIST project.
Task forces are supported but this function has not been activated.
The image request feature is listed "below the fold" when used. If people feel this is a problem, please let me know.
Please report any other errors if you see them. Thanks! Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 15:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
