Project banner

The {{WP Ports}} 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:

{{WP Ports
|small=
|class=
|auto=
|A-Class= 
|peer-review= 
|old-peer-review= 
|attention= 
|needs-infobox=
<!-- B-Class checklist -->
<!-- 1. It is suitably referenced, and all 
major points are appropriately cited. -->
|B-Class-1=
<!-- 2. It reasonably covers the topic, and 
does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies. -->
|B-Class-2=
<!-- 3. It has a defined structure, including 
a lead section and one or more sections of content. -->
|B-Class-3=
<!-- 4. It is free from major grammatical errors. -->
|B-Class-4=
<!-- 5. It contains appropriate supporting materials, 
such as an infobox, images, or diagrams. -->
|B-Class-5=
}}

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.
• 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:Ports articles needing expert attention for more details on when this should be used.
• needs-infobox – "yes" if the article needs an infobox added or updated.

B-Class checklist (available only for articles rated as "Stub-Class", "Start-Class", or "B-Class"—see the assessment department for more details):

• B-Class-1 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #1 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.
• B-Class-2 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #2 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.
• B-Class-3 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #3 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.
• B-Class-4 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #4 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.
• B-Class-5 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #5 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.

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