Importance (priority) assessment
The|importance=valueparameter records the project'spriority assessment ratingcurrently assigned to the article. When this banner appears on the talk page of a non-article, noclassvalue need be applied.
On an aritcle talk page, if the value is unassigned, an invalid value is given, or theclassparameter is set to "NA", the parameter defaults to "unassigned" and the template places the talkpage intoCategory:Unknown-importance cue sports articles.
Valid values for this parameter, their associated meanings and their categories are given in the table below. Values should be typed as shown (e.g.|importance=Mid):
| Value | Meaning | Category |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Topics that are among the most important, defining articles on cue sports. Examples include the main article on cue sports, vital equipment, international governing bodies and leagues/tours/associations, game rules, current world championships (overview article), this year's article on the world championships, current pro world champions. Top-importance articles are often selected forWikipedia CD/DVD release.If the project has more than a dozen or so Top-importance articles, consider moving some to High-importance. | Top-importance cue sports articles. |
| High | Topics that are of certain but not crucial importance in cue sports. Examples include former pro world champions, pro world championship top-16 contenders, current amateur world champions, major international events (overview articles), high-profile dedicated venues, game variants, detailed stand-alone articles on aspects of cue sports. | High-importance cue sports articles |
| Mid | Articles that are reasonably important in cue sports. Examples include national-class players/teams below world championship level, major national events (overview articles). | Mid-importance cue sports articles |
| Low | Article of limited importance in cue sports. Examples include previous years' annual event articles, and marginally notable players/teams, venues, events, etc. Media (TV shows, films, books, etc.) relating to cue sports usually also fall into this assessment level (for this project - a film, etc., project might rate the article higher). | Low-importance cue sports articles |
Attention parameter
The optional|attention=yesparameter marks the article as needing immediate attention and shows this on the banner, and it also adds the article toCategory:Cue sports articles needing attention.This parameter should be used if the article is in very bad condition.

Various other parameters are also available(seeTemplate:WikiProjectBannerMetafor documentation of parameters; this template supports most of the available ones):
|needs-image=yes-non-bioarticle needs an illustrative image (at all, or to replace a bad one); for bios use{{reqphoto|cue sports people}}after the project banners at top of talk page|needs-infobox=yes- article needs aninfoboxtemplate that provides summary details regarding the subject
