The {{WikiProject Video games}} project banner template should be added (not 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. All pages should include class and importance, when possible. These parameters will put the page into the appropriate subcategory in WikiProject Video games.

so that the talk page will show up in the S'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 A Tree of Palme, use |listas=Tree of Palme, A
so that the talk page will show up in the T'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.|listas=

is recognised as an alias for |esports=
. If both |esports=
and |eSports=
are present, |eSports=
is ignored.To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.
