This page outlines how baseball projects maintain assessment through the WikiProject Baseball template.

Assessment
Individual projects maintain assessment through the main WikiProject Baseball template. Please do not create an individual banner as this just clutters up talk pages and causes more work, everything shown on an individual banner will be shown on the main project's one. This is done fairly easily. For full parameters please check the documentation. For example:

Adding a project to the banner
If you create a new baseball project, it can easily be added to the template WikiProject Baseball to allow the project to have assessment. Do not edit this template if you do not understand what you are doing. The template is present on over 25,000 pages, leave a message on the Template talk:WikiProject Baseball talk page, and someone will update the template accordingly.

MLB team projects are standardised to the following:

Main category:
 * Category:WikiProject New York Yankees
 * Category:New York Yankees articles
 * Category:New York Yankees articles by quality
 * Category:New York Yankees articles by importance

The categories will need to be made once the project has been added to the banner and will automatically be assessed into appropriate categories through parameters on the banner.

MLB team projects parameters use the teams nickname. For example, New York Yankees uses yankees=yes and yankees-importance=. Class is automatically carried on through the main class= parameter. This way, an article of Low importance to baseball in general, but mid or high importance to the New York Yankees can be assessed as such like in the example above.

Syntax for banner
The following is the appropriate syntax for adding a project to the banner, using St. Louis Cardinals as an example.

The following also needs to be added to display the nested name correctly.

In this example, 2 will need to be replaced with the next appropriate number in the template. For more information on this, please read the documentation at Template:WPBannerMeta. All changes should be tested in Template:WikiProject Baseball/sandbox and Template:WikiProject Baseball/testcases before adding.
