This template is the project banner for WikiProject History of Science.
The template is to be placed on talk pages (only) of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (basically anything to do with the histories of science, technology, and medicine, as well as science studies, STS, etc.).
This template automatically assigns the category Category:WikiProject History of Science articles to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated WikiProject categories are used in various ways by the Project in the overall management of the Project's workload.
This template contains optional parameters, details of usage are given below.
Usage instructions
[edit]General syntax options for this template are as follows:
{{WikiProject History of Science
|class=
|importance=
}}
The parameters are named, and (if used) must be entered exactly as-is (note, all are lowercase).
The class and importance parameters are associated with the Project's article assessment and rating scheme. These parameters add a category to the talkpage, which category depends on the values chosen.
Class
[edit]An article's quality assessment is recorded using the |class= parameter in the {{WikiProject banner shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject History of Science}} banner template on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.
The following standard grades may be used to describe the quality of mainspace articles (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):
| FA | (for featured articles only; adds them to the FA-Class history of science articles category) |  FA |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| FL | (for featured lists only; adds them to the FL-Class history of science articles category) | FL |
|
| A | (for articles that passed a formal peer review only; adds them to the A-Class history of science articles category) |  A |
|
| GA | (for good articles only; adds them to the GA-Class history of science articles category) |  GA |
|
| B | (for articles that satisfy all of the B-Class criteria; adds them to the B-Class history of science articles category) | B | |
| C | (for substantial articles; adds them to the C-Class history of science articles category) | C | |
| Start | (for developing articles; adds them to the Start-Class history of science articles category) | Start | |
| Stub | (for basic articles; adds them to the Stub-Class history of science articles category) | Stub | |
| List | (for stand-alone lists; adds them to the List-Class history of science articles category) | List | |
| NA | (for any other pages where assessment is unwarranted; adds them to the NA-Class history of science pages category) | NA | |
| ??? | (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in the Unassessed history of science articles category) | ??? |
For non-mainspace content, the following values may be used:
| Category | (for categories; adds them to the Category-Class history of science pages category) | Category | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portal | (for portal pages; adds them to the Portal-Class history of science pages category) | Portal | |
| Project | (for project pages; adds them to the Project-Class history of science pages category) | Project | |
| Template | (for templates and modules; adds them to the Template-Class history of science pages category) | Template |
Importance
[edit]An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject History of Science}} project banner on its talk page:
The following values may be used for the importance parameter to describe the relative importance of the article within the project (see Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Priority of topic for assessment criteria):
| Top (adds articles to Category:Top-importance history of science articles) | Top | |
| High (adds articles to Category:High-importance history of science articles) | High | |
| Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance history of science articles) | Mid | |
| Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance history of science articles) | Low | |
| NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance history of science articles) | NA | |
| ??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance history of science articles) | ??? |
