[edit] Talk Page
Please place {{WPFISHING}} at the top of an article's talk page. This will help to direct editors to the WikiProject Fishing main page for guidance. As well as users adding it manually, HermesBot added the template to articles in the fishing category. However, if you find one added in error, please remove it.
This is how it will look when it has been added:

[edit] Articles in need of expert attention
The template {{Expert-subject}} places articles in Cat:Fishing articles needing expert attention. In general this template is posted by non subject experts to show that they have run into a brick wall that a Wikiproject Fishing member can solve with relative ease. This category really ought to be empty, so the fact that it contains any articles is a call to action to improve them and remove the tag.

[edit] Fishing Template
This template was created for the fishing portal to give credits to editors of articles that appear in the Fishing portal. Each month, there will be 2 articles: "Selected Article of the Month" and "Selected Picture of the Month". To use this, simply copy this piece of code:
{{fishingportal|SECTION|MONTH|YEAR}}
in the discussion section of the article.
Note: that you have to change the following texts in the braces
-
- SECTION - refers to the specific portion/section of the portal that the article appears (Selected Article of the Month and Selected Picture of the Month)
- MONTH - January, February...
- YEAR - 2007, 2008...
For example, the template {{Fishingportal|Selected Article of the Month|May|2007}} would look like this:
 |
WikiProject Fisheries and Fishing appears on The Fishing Portal as the "Selected Article of the Month" for May 2007. |
