Template:WikiProject Oceans/doc

This template adds Category:WikiProject Oceans articles automatically to the Talk pages of articles where it is placed. Other categories may be added depending on the parameters selected. This template is a self-reference. Please add it to the article's talk page.

Usage
The  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. The full syntax is as follows:

Template display formatting parameters:
 * small - show the normal or reduced size template; shows the reduced size template if.

General parameters:
 * class – a rating of the article's quality; see the assessment department for more details.
 * FA - The article has reached Featured article status.
 * FL - The article has reached Featured list status.
 * A - Could be submitted as a Featured article candidate; probably could use some small updates to make it Featured quality.
 * GA - The article has reached Good article status.
 * B - Could be submitted as a Good article nominee; probably could use some updates or may lack some features from the Good article criteria, but it presents a good overview of the subject.
 * Start - The article is more than a stub, but may lack some important aspects of the topic's discussion.
 * Stub - The article is a stub; it likely contains one of the Oceanography stub templates.
 * List - Article is a list which has yet to reach FL status.
 * NA - The page is not an article and should not be rated; it could be a template, image or category, for example.
 * importance – a rating of the article's importance; see the assessment department for more details.
 * Top
 * High

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.
