This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject Chile. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 24,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

The {{WikiProject Chile}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. Adding this template to a talk page will automatically add the page to Category:WikiProject Chile articles. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. The full syntax is as follows:

{{WikiProject Chile
|importance      = 
|attention       = 
<!-- Other parameters -->
|trans-ES        =
}}

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template. A common initial configuration for the banner includes only a few parameters:

{{WikiProject Chile |importance =  }}

• class – This WikiProject follows Project-Independent Quality Assessment. Please add valid |class= values to {{WikiProject banner shell}} instead of this WikiProject. Valid class values can be found at Wikipedia:Content assessment.
  • "NA" - non-article pages
  • "List" - lists
• importance - The priority/importance to assign the article. Non-article pages ignore this value. To force an ignore, set this parameter to "NA"

• trans-ES - "yes" to add the article to Category:Chile articles needing translation from Spanish Wikipedia
• 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 Prince George of England, use |listas=George of England, Prince so that the talk page will show up in the G's and not the P'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 |listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
