This WikiProject banner template uses Module:WikiProject banner, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining project banners. Please report any errors or feature requests to Module talk:WikiProject banner. Information or warnings about the template are below:
Automatic parameter checking is enabled. Create the tracking category to track invalid parameters.
Some of the assessment categories required for Elections and Referendums do not currently exist, and should to be created to avoid redlinks appearing on talk pages. Alternatively, you may need to set or update the <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|ASSESSMENT_CAT= parameter in this template.
The following categories are required for the banner to work correctly. Please either create these categories or adjust the banner so that they are not required.
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 Millicent Fawcett, use <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|listas=Fawcett, Millicent so that the talk page will show up in the F's and not the M'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. If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
category – set <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|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.
