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: The 4 notes in this template will automatically collapse if more than 2 of them are activated. To change this setting, set or update the |COLLAPSED= parameter. This banner template includes a link to Portal:Viruses, and the accompanying image is File:Sida-aids.png. See the instructions on how to change this. Automatic parameter checking is enabled. Create the tracking category to track invalid parameters.

Usage

To add an article to our worklist, place {{WikiProject Viruses|class=|importance=}} at the top of the article's Talk page, along with the following parameters:

{{Wikiproject Viruses|class=|importance=|needs-image=}}

• 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 scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |importance= blank or omit the parameter.
• 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.
• 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 Oyewale Tomori, use |listas=Tomori, Oyewale so that the talk page will show up in the T's and not the O's of the various assessment and administrative categories; similarly, for topics with titles beginning with an article such as "the" or "a" - e.g. for The blob (Chukchi Sea algae), use |listas=Blob (Chukchi Sea algae), The so that the talk page will show up in the B's). 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 |listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
• attention – set |attention=yes if the article needs immediate attention from experienced editors. Use only if another parameter does not cover the need for attention; this should be used sparingly. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.
  • This parameter populates Category:Viruses articles needing attention.
• needs-image – set |needs-image=yes to request that a pictureorpicturesbeincluded in the article to improve its quality.
  • This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested images of viruses.
• needs-taxobox – set |needs-taxobox=yes to request that a virusbox be included in this article to improve its quality.
  • This parameter populates Category:Missing taxobox.
