Template:WikiProject Systems/usage

Usage
To add an article to the list, simply add the template to the talk page of the article with the following parameters:


 * class: Options are FA, A, GA, B, Start, Stub, Cat, Template, NA. If blank, this will default as Unassessed. Descriptions of the options can be found at Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment. NA is "not applicable", while Cat indicates a "Category". Template class is, perhaps unsurprisingly, used for templates!
 * importance: Options are Top, High, Mid, Low, NA. If blank, this will default as Unknown priority. NA is "not applicable". This is the importance within WikiProject Systems according to this scale.
 * attention: Answer yes if the page needs immediate attention, otherwise remove this line.
 * needs-infobox: Answer yes if the article needs an infobox, otherwise remove this line.
 * auto: This parameter is for the use of bots. It calls the template.

Leave comments to explain the rating

Please note that if you put headers on the comments page (i.e. == Text ==, then the table of contents will get moved into the comments box also. You can avoid this by putting just below the WikiProject Systems template call on the article's talk page.

Agree that the stub rating is appropriate where the page was auto-tagged
Remove the |auto=yes parameter from within, such that the rating reads. Please also update the importance tag if appopriate.

Flag an article as being in need of urgent attention or an infobox
There are two additional parameters that can be used to mark an article as being in need of either urgent attention or the addition of a suitable infobox. Just add either "|attention=yes" or "|needs-infobox=yes" before the final "}}" at the end of the template.
