The {{WikiProject Film}} project banner template should be added (never 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.

Basic usage

An article's quality assessment is generated from the class parameter in the {{WikiProject Film}} project banner on its talk page: {{WikiProject Film|class=???}}

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 film articles) FA
A (adds articles to Category:A-Class film articles) A
GA (for good articles only; adds articles to Category:GA-Class film articles) GA
B (adds articles to Category:B-Class film articles)B
C (adds articles to Category:C-Class film articles)C
Start (adds articles to Category:Start-Class film articles)Start
Stub (adds articles to Category:Stub-Class film articles)Stub
FL (for featured lists only; adds articles to Category:FL-Class film articles) FL
List (adds articles to Category:List-Class film articles)List

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 film articles)Category
Disambig (for disambiguation pages; adds pages to Category:Disambig-Class film articles)Disambig
Draft (for drafts; adds pages to Category:Draft-Class film articles)Draft
FM (for featured media only; adds pages to Category:FM-Class film articles) FM
File (for files and timed text; adds pages to Category:File-Class film articles)File
Portal (for portal pages; adds pages to Category:Portal-Class film articles)Portal
Project (for project pages; adds pages to Category:Project-Class film articles)Project
Redirect (for redirect pages; adds pages to Category:Redirect-Class film articles)Redirect
Template (for templates and modules; adds pages to Category:Template-Class film articles)Template
NA (for any other pages where assessment is unnecessary; adds pages to Category:NA-Class film articles)NA
??? (articles for which a valid class has not yet been provided are listed in Category:Unassessed film articles)???

Optional parameters

General

  • listas – a sortkey to produce a correct ordering of pages within a category, e.g. for The Fifth Element set |listas=Fifth Element, The
  • needs-image - set |needs-image=yes if the article needs an image, such as a poster or on-set photo
  • needs-infobox – set |needs-infobox=yes if the article needs an infobox, e.g. {{Infobox film}}

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.
