Usage

The {{WikiProject Asia |class= |importance= }} 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, described below. Several national and regional projects already have their own banners, and should be used where possible, although this banner may be used for assessment purposes if the others do not have assessment parameters.

Parameters

General

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Banner Shell}}. Articles that have the {{WikiProject Asia}} project banner on their talk page will be added to the appropriate categories by quality.

The following values may be used for the class parameter to describe the quality of the article (see Wikipedia:Content assessment for assessment criteria):


FA (for featured articles only; adds articles to Category:FA-Class Asia articles)		FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class Asia articles)		A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class Asia articles)		GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class Asia articles)		B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class Asia articles)		C

Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class Asia articles)		Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class Asia articles)		FL

For non-standard grades and non-mainspace content, the following values may be used for the class parameter:


Category (for categories; adds pages to Category:Category-Class Asia articles)		Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class Asia articles)		Disambig

NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class Asia articles)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed Asia articles)		???

An article's importance assessment is generated from the importance parameter in the {{WikiProject Asia}} project banner on its talk page:

{{WikiProject Asia|importance=???}}

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 Asia articles)		Top
High (adds articles to Category:High-importance Asia articles)		High
Mid (adds articles to Category:Mid-importance Asia articles)		Mid
Low (adds articles to Category:Low-importance Asia articles)		Low
NA (adds articles to Category:NA-importance Asia articles)		NA
??? (articles for which a valid importance rating has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unknown-importance Asia articles)		???

attention – "yes", if the article requires immediate attention; this should be used sparingly.
auto – "yes", this parameter is for bot-use.
