Template:WikiProject Canada/doc

About this template
This template is the project banner for WikiProject Canada and can also act as a banner for several of its child-projects. (Other banners exist for related projects like WikiProject Canadian football and WikiProject Canada Roads.)

The template is to be placed on talk pages (only) of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (at or near the top of the talkpage).

This template automatically assigns the category Category:WikiProject Canada articles to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated Project 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: 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 article assessment and rating scheme. These parameters add a category to the talkpage, which category depends on the values chosen.

Other parameters can be added to further identify the article or change its shape. Full syntax options for this template are as follows:

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 Canada-related articles.

Valid values for this parameter, their associated meanings and categories are given in the table below. Values should be typed as shown (e.g. |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 Canada-related articles.

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

Workgroups
The template can also be used to add an article to one of WikiProject Canada's workgroups. Adding any of these parameters will put the article in assessment categories for both WikiProject Canada and the project selected, using the same quality and importance for both.

Workgroup parameters:

Cities
Four of the cities projects use their own importance ranking rather than adopting the general project importance ranking.

Needs photo
The parameter yes will add a tag indicating that a photo should be added to the article. If the article is also part of the music wikiproject or any of the city wikiprojects, it will also be put in a category for articles needing photos.

Auto
When an assessment is done by a bot, it will include yes. After double-checking the bot's assessment, a user should remove the parameter.

Example
Here is an example from the talk page of Speaker of the House of Commons (Canada):
