Usage

Place {{WikiProject Korea}} on the article's talk page. It is possible to indicate an assessment of the article by including quality and importance as named parameters. For example, a Start-Class quality, Low-importance article is marked by using {{WikiProject Korea|class=Start|importance=Low}}.

It is also possible to indicate the WikiProject Korea working group associated with the article. For example, {{WikiProject Korea|class=B|importance=High|history=yes}} marks a B-Class quality, High-importance article associated with the Korean history working group.

needs-photo – set |needs-photo=yes if the article requires photo.
- This parameter populates Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Korea.
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 Cha Seung Baek, use |listas=Baek, Cha Seung so that the talk page will show up in the B's and not the C's of the various assessment and administrative categories; similarly, for topics with titles beginning with an article such as "the" or "a" - e.g. for The Greatest Love, use |listas=Greatest Love, The so that the talk page will show up in the G's). 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.
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.
