This WikiProject banner template uses Module:WikiProject banner, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining project banners. Please report any errors or feature requests to Module talk:WikiProject banner. Information or warnings about the template are below:

The 35 task forces and/or work groups will automatically collapse if more than 5 of them are displayed. To change this setting, set or update the |TF_COLLAPSE= parameter.
The 12 notes in this template will automatically collapse if more than 2 of them are activated. To change this setting, set or update the |COLLAPSED= parameter.
This banner template includes a link to Portal:Japan, and the accompanying image is File:Flag of Japan.svg. See the instructions on how to change this.
Automatic parameter checking is enabled and pages with invalid parameters can be found in the tracking category.
There are too many task forces to check the assessment categories for each one, so the following selection have been checked: 3, 8, 9, 14, 16, 20, 24, 25, 26, 29.

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 125,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

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.

Parameters

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 Wikipedia: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., |pref-photo=Hiroshima) 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)
