This is the WikiProject banner template used by WikiProject Cycling to keep track of articles within its scope.

Basic usage

Place this on the talk page of relevant articles:

{{WikiProject banner shell |class= |
{{WikiProject Cycling |importance= }}
}}

Full usage

It is usual to remove any unused parameters from the template call.

{{WikiProject banner shell |class= |listas= |blp= |
{{WikiProject Cycling |importance= |auto= |attention= |needs-infobox= |mtb= |mtb-imp= |tdf= |tdf-imp= |gdi= |gdi-imp= |category= }}
}}

Parameters

importance – see #Importance assessment below.
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.

Notes and alerts

auto – this parameter is for the use of bots and indicates that the article has been automatically rated:
- length – based on the length of the article;
- inherit – because one or more other projects use this class;
- yes or stub (in conjunction with |class=stub) – as Stub-Class because it uses a stub template.
Use of the above values with this parameter populates Category:Automatically assessed Cycling articles.
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:Cycling articles needing attention.
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:Cycling articles needing infoboxes.

Task forces

mtb – set |mtb=yes if the article is supported by Mountain Biking task force. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Mountain Biking articles by quality based on the |class= parameter.
mtb-imp – This parameter sets the importance of the article according to Mountain Biking task force. It populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Mountain Biking articles by importance. See #Importance assessment for valid values.
tdf – set |tdf=yes if the article is supported by Tour de France task force. This parameter populates Category:Tour de France task force articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Tour de France articles by quality based on the |class= parameter.
tdf-imp – This parameter sets the importance of the article according to Tour de France task force. It populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Tour de France articles by importance. See #Importance assessment for valid values.
gdi – set |gdi=yes if the article is supported by Giro d'Italia task force. This parameter populates Category:Giro d'Italia task force articles. This parameter populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Giro d'Italia articles by quality based on the |class= parameter.
gdi-imp – This parameter sets the importance of the article according to Giro d'Italia task force. It populates the relevant subcategory of Category:Giro d'Italia articles by importance. See #Importance assessment for valid values.
