Template:WikiProject Japan/doc

The WikiProject Japan project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner.

Syntax
The full syntax is as follows (please remove any unused parameters):









Parameters

 * small – "yes" if the banner should be rendered in its miniature size; this should be used sparingly and only on crowded talk pages for the time being. Consider using WikiProject banner shell instead for talk pages which have multiple project banners.
 * class – a rating of the article's quality; see the assessment department for more details. Categories and Templates are automatically assessed by this template, and therefore do not need to have the class specified. Options are:
 * FA for articles which are Featured articles.
 * FL for articles which are Featured lists.
 * FM for articles which are Featured pictures or Featured sounds.
 * A for articles which are A-Class.
 * GA for articles which are Good Articles.
 * B for articles which are B-Class. This will only work if the "b1" through "b6" criteria are also used and each marked with "yes".
 * C for articles which are C-Class.
 * Start for articles which are Start-Class.
 * Stub for articles which are Stubs.
 * List for articles which are Lists.
 * Dab or Disambig for articles which are Disambiguation articles.
 * Draft for article drafts.
 * File for media files such as images or videos.
 * Portal for pages which are part of a portal.
 * Project for pages which are in the Wikipedia namespace.
 * Redirect for redirects.
 * NA for articles which are Not Articles (such as project articles).
 * importance – Top, High, Mid, Low, None. Descriptions of the options can be found at WikiProject Japan/Assessment.
 * needs-attention - "yes" if the article needs immediate attention for one reason or another. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.
 * needs-infobox - "yes" if the article needs an infobox added to it.
 * listas - fill in if the article needs to be sorted in categories some way other than using the article title. For example, Talk:Izumi Takemoto would have this parameter completed using Takemoto, Izumi because the article should be sorted by the family name.

Up to eight prefectures can be specified for locations where a photo might be obtained:
 * pref-photo and pref-photo-2 through pref-photo-8 - Enter the name of the prefecture (e.g., ) to indicate a photo is requested for this location in Hiroshima Prefecture. Be sure to use correct capitalization (i.e., "Hiroshima" not "hiroshima"). Options include: Aichi, Akita, Aomori, Chiba, Ehime, Fukui, Fukuoka, Fukushima, Gifu, Gunma, Hiroshima, Hokkaido, Hyōgo, Ibaraki, Ishikawa, Iwate, Kagawa, Kagoshima, Kanagawa, Kōchi, Kumamoto, Kyoto, Mie, Miyagi, Miyazaki, Nagano, Nagasaki, Nara, Niigata, Ōita, Okayama, Okinawa, Osaka, Saga, Saitama, Shiga, Shimane, Shizuoka, Tochigi, Tokushima, Tokyo, Tottori, Toyama, Wakayama, Yamagata, Yamaguchi, or Yamanashi.

You can also specify a person or group of people needing a photo, or a generic need for a photo for an article which is not about a person/group or a specific location:
 * person-photo - "yes" if the article about a person or group of people needs a photo.
 * photo - "yes" if the article needs a photo, but the article is not about a specific location or a person (or persons in the case of a group)

B-Class checklist (only visible for articles rated "B-Class" or "C-Class"—see the assessment department for more details):
 * b1 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #1 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.
 * b2 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #2 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.
 * b3 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #3 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.
 * b4 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #4 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.
 * b5 – "yes" if the article meets criterion #5 for B-Class status; "no" if it does not.
