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)
