Parameters
- state – valid values are the two-letter postal abbreviation for each state. Use
|state=AL
for Alabama. Use|state1= |state2= |...|state20=
for multiple states.
- The parameter
|state1=
is recognised as an alias for|state=
. If both|state=
and|state1=
are present,|state1=
is ignored. - type – valid values are I, US, SH, CR, Trail, Junction, or US66. Use
|type1= |type2= |...|type5=
for multiple types.
- The parameter
|type1=
is recognised as an alias for|type=
. If both|type=
and|type1=
are present,|type1=
is ignored. - class – valid values are listed in the custom class mask. 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.
Optional parameters
- 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 Dwight D. Eisenhower, use
|listas=Eisenhower, Dwight D.
so that the talk page will show up in the E's and not the D'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.
- The parameter
|sort=
is recognised as an alias for|listas=
. If both|listas=
and|sort=
are present,|sort=
is ignored. - 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 U.S. road transport 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.
