Template:Project header/doc

{{#invoke:Message box|mbox}}

Usage

{{#invoke:Hatnote|hatnote}} This template may be placed at the top of the main page of a WikiProject, to clearly identify the page as such; thus replacing the default boilerplate text that many WikiProjects use, so that the introductory paragraph may have a more customized message. As with the {{Essay}} and {{Guideline}} templates, it accepts up to 5 shortcut parameters, as shown in the examples below. This template is not intended for pages that are similar to a WikiProject, but not named "Wikipedia:WikiProject topic"; the {{Proposed}} template may be more appropriate. Also, this template does not add the page to any categories, as WikiProjects are subcategorized in a very specific and topical manner, by the projects themselves.

Examples

With up to 5 shortcuts and one portal link allowed:

Tip: Make sure all of the shortcut parameters are on a single line.

• {{Project header|WP:SHORTCUT1|WP:SHORTCUT2|portal=PORTALNAME}}

{{#invoke:Message box|ombox}}

Note: if the shortcut or portal links are actually valid, they will appear as blue, instead of red, hyperlinks.

Specify whether it is a topic-focused or internal Wikipedia process-focused project:

• {{Project header|project-type=topic|topic=Foo}}

{{#invoke:Message box|ombox}}

• {{Project header|project-type=process|process=Baz}}

{{#invoke:Message box|ombox}}

Specify whether it a task force (instead of a full project):

• {{Project header|taskforce=yes}}

{{#invoke:Message box|ombox}}

With 0px margins on the left and right side of the box:

• {{Project header|margin=0px|WP:SHORTCUT1|WP:SHORTCUT2}}

{{#invoke:Message box|ombox}}

Do not use this parameter unless there is a very good reason to do so within your project's layout; the size of this banner is standardized to match {{Essay}} and other "Wikipedia:"-namespace page-top templates for a reason.
