Template:WikiProject Sports/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject Sports. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage

When you create or find a new page within the scope of WikiProject Sports please add any of the following to the top of its talk page:

{{WikiProject Sports |class= }}

{{WikiProject Sports |class= |listas= }}

{{WikiProject Sports
|class      = 
|listas     = 
}}

Unused parameters may be omitted. This template automatically adds articles to Category:WikiProject Sports articles.

Optional parameters

• class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. See the project's quality scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |class= blank or omit the parameter.
• listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for James Brendan Connolly, use |listas=Connolly, James Brendan so that the talk page will show up in the C's and not the J's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
  It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own |listas= set, since it not only affects categories used by the banner in which it is set, but it also affects the sortkey of all other banners and templates.
• category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
