Template:WikiProject/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:WikiProject (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This is just the boilerplate text to help in creating a new WikiProject. More advice is available at WP:WikiProject Council/Guide.

[edit] Usage

Suppose the name of your new WikiProject is Foo. The first step is to create the page "Wikipedia:WikiProject Foo", and substitute this template in it by typing this text: {{subst:WikiProject|Foo}}. After saving, this code will be replace by a skeleton for a WikiProject page which you have to adapt to the needs of your project. Some elements are in comments and will have to be uncommented, others that are unnecessary will have to be deleted or commented out. A few guidelines are provided, also in comments.
