It is important that the capitalisation shown above be used. For example, using |Streetcars=yes
by mistake for |streetcars=yes
will fail to place the article within WikiProject Streetcars; similarly, using |underground=yes
instead of |Underground=yes
will not add the article to WikiProject London Transport.
Assessment
Parameters
- General
- 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. - importance – valid values are: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the project's importance scalefor details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave
|importance=
blank or omit the parameter. - listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.}} then it is preferable to add
If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell|listas=
to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required. - needs-infobox – set
|needs-infobox=yes
if the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles.- This parameter populates Category:Rail transport articles needing infoboxes.
- unref – set
|unref=yes
if the article lacks references- This parameter populates Category:Unreferenced rail transport articles.
- mapneeded – set
|mapneeded=yes
if the article needs a map.- mapdetails (appears only if mapneeded is set to yes) - Additional details to specify the kind of map information that is needed.
- This parameter populates Category:Rail transport articles needing maps.
- imageneeded – set
|imageneeded=yes
The article needs an image (other than a map). When any one or more of the following five are true:- when
|DE=yes
is set, adds articles to Category:Wikipedia requested images of rail transport in Germany; - when
|locos=yes
is set, adds articles to Category:Wikipedia requested images of locomotives; - when

.- This parameter populates Category:Rail transport articles needing additional references.
- 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.
