Template documentation

Usage

This template is to be placed at the top of the talk page of any stub templates that are liable to be prone to frequent edits - especially those which may fall victim to edit-wars, to discourage repeated editing of the template. It is not for use on articles as a stub template.

{{WikiProject Stub sorting |small= |listas= }}

Optional parameters

• 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 John Smith, use so that the talk page will show up in the S'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 popflock.com Resource: Categorization of people#Ordering names in a category.
  It is not required if another WikiProject template on the same page has its own 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.
• small - set to display a small version of the template aligned along the right side of the page (as opposed to at the top). This parameter does not work as expected if the banner template is enclosed in {{WikiProject banner shell}} or any of its redirects.
• category - set if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
