Usage

This template will display, in a horizontal table, the number of articles of each importance, which belong to a particular WikiProject. The syntax is as follows:

{{Articles by Importance
 |topic=
 |project=
}}

Parameters

  • |topic= (required) - set to the name used in the project or task force's Category:topic articles by importance
  • |project= (optional) - if defined, a caption is displayed above the table with the following three links: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject project|WikiProject project]], [[:Category:topic articles by importance|Articles by importance]], and a "(refresh)" button.
  • |custom1= (optional) - allows for addition of a custom importance
  • |format= (optional) - changes the way the template is formatted using one of Wikipedia's defined styles (CSS), for example |format=toc
  • |task_force= (optional) - if |project= has been set, and |task_force=yes then the following two parameters are required:
    • |tf_link= - should be set to the task force's subpage name.
    • |parent= - should be set to the same value as |project=. Together, these two parameters generate the first link as: [[Wikipedia:WikiProject parent/tf_link|topic Taskforce]], along with the other two links as above.

Examples

{{Articles by Importance|topic=physics|project=Physics}}

will result in:

WikiProject Physics Articles by importance (refresh)
 Top  High  Mid  Low  ??? Total
 0  0  0  0  0  0 
Changing class to format template layout

By using the |format= tag, you can change the way the template is formatted using one of Wikipedia's defined styles (CSS).

{{Articles by Importance|topic=physics|project=Physics|format=toc}}

will result in:

WikiProject Physics Articles by importance (refresh)
 Top  High  Mid  Low  ??? Total
 0  0  0  0  0  0 

You can use any of the Wikipedia defined classes in this parameter. In this example, the switch changes the style from the default wikitable to the toc style used in the {{Cat importance}} template. All formatting in the template will be changed to the defined style chosen and cannot be modified.

Taskforce example

{{Articles by Importance
 |project    = Food and drink
 |topic      = Cheeses
 |task_force = yes
  |tf_link   = Cheeses task force
  |parent    = Food and drink
 |format     = toc
}}

will generate:

Cheeses Taskforce Articles by importance (refresh)
 Top  High  Mid  Low  ??? Total
 0  0  0  0  0  0
