Usage

Place the {{WikiProject Tennis}} template on the talk page of any tennis related article, filling in the blank spaces. Do not attempt to edit the template itself, unless you are familiar with the coding. If you are familiar with the coding, please use the template sandbox first, before making any changes, as it will affect hundreds of pages.

{{WikiProject Tennis 
 |class= (NA, FA, A, GA, B, C, start or stub, etc.)
 |importance= (Top, High, Mid, Low or NA)
 |attention= (either "yes" or remove it)
 |needs-infobox= (either "yes" or remove it)
 |Grand-Slam-task-force=yes
 |Tournament-task-force=yes
 |Cup-task-force=yes
}}

For a brand new article:

{{WikiProject Tennis|class=stub|importance=low|attention=yes|needs-infobox=yes}}

or with minimal syntax:

{{WikiProject Tennis|class=|importance=}}

Standard player banner: Bio above Sport

{{WPBiography|class=stub|sports-work-group=yes|sports-priority=low|listas=last, first|living=yes/no}}
{{WikiProject Tennis|class=stub|importance=low|attention=yes|needs-infobox=yes}}

For Grand Slam articles:

{{WikiProject Tennis|class=stub|importance=high|Grand-Slam-task-force=yes}}

For Davis Cup or Fed Cup tournament articles:

{{WikiProject Tennis|class=stub|importance=mid|Cup-task-force=yes}}

For general/other tournament articles:

{{WikiProject Tennis|class=stub|importance=low|Tournament-task-force=yes}}

Optional parameters

• attention – set |attention=yes if the article needs immediate attention from experienced editors. Use only if another parameter does not cover the need for attention; this should be used sparingly. It is strongly encouraged to also add a section to the talk page explaining what needs attention.
  • This parameter populates Category:Tennis articles needing expert attention.
• class – valid values are fa, a, ga, b, c, start, stub, fl, list, na (case-insensitive). See the project's quality scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |class= blank or omit the parameter.
• importance – valid values are: top, high, mid, low, na (case-insensitive). See the project's importance scale for details. Setting an explicit value of NA is rarely necessary; for this, either leave |importance= blank or omit the parameter.
• listas – This parameter, which is the equivalent of the DEFAULTSORT sortkey that should be placed on all biographical articles, is a sortkey for the article talk page (e.g. for Fred Perry, use |listas=Perry, Fred so that the talk page will show up in the P's and not the F's of the various assessment and administrative categories). This is important because it is one source used by those who set DEFAULTSORT on the article; consider also setting the DEFAULTSORT for the article when setting this parameter. For more information about this, please see Wikipedia:Categorization of people § Ordering names in a category.
  If the article is using {{WikiProject banner shell}} then it is preferable to add |listas= to that template instead of a project banner template. Putting the parameter on more than one template is not required.
• needs-infobox – set |needs-infobox=yes if the article needs an infobox. Remember that infoboxes are not suitable for all articles, and can overwhelm short articles.
  • This parameter populates Category:Tennis articles needing an infobox.
• auto – This parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
  • |auto=length – based on the length of the article
  • |auto=inherit – because one or more other projects use this class
  • |auto=yes (or |auto=stub), in conjunction with |class=stub – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template
    • Use of the above values (or value combinations) with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed Tennis articles.
• category – set |category=no if, and only if, a banner is being used for demonstration or testing purposes, to prevent unnecessary or undesirable categorization. Otherwise, omit this parameter.
