Tɛmplet:Wikiproject style advice
 | This is an essay on style. It contains the advice and/or opinions of one or more WikiProjects on how to format and present article content within their area of interest. This information is not a formal Wikipedia policy or guideline, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. |
Usage
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]Place one of the following (with correct shortcut) at the top of the page:
{{WikiProject advice|WP:SHORTCUT}}{{WikiProject content advice|WP:SHORTCUT}}{{WikiProject notability advice|WP:SHORTCUT}}{{WikiProject style advice|WP:SHORTCUT}}
When to use
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]The {{WikiProject advice}} template, or one of its more specific variants, should be used on essays and other advice pages that are written by one or more wikiprojects. Use any of these templates for advice that is supported by the members of the wikiproject, but that has not been proposed to the community and accepted as a site-wide guideline or policy.
Parameters
[mali mi di yibu sheena n-niŋ]|type=section is used to indicate that only part of the page is a WikiProject advice page. This is usually done with the categorical variants of the template, e.g. to mark part of an advice page with {{WikiProject notability advice|type=section }}, another part with {{WikiProject style advice|type=section }}, etc. The parameter can also be used to say something more specific about an entire page, e.g. |.
|shortcut=WP:SHORTCUT provides a shortcut link to the page/section. Up to five shortcuts may be specified as unnamed, numbered, or named parameters:
|WP:SHORTCUT1 |... |WP:SHORTCUT5|1=WP:SHORTCUT1 |... |5=WP:SHORTCUT5|shortcut1=WP:SHORTCUT1 |... |shortcut5=WP:SHORTCUT5
Please note that using more than three shortcuts for any page or section is generally discouraged.
|sort-by= can be used to customize the sort key for the category the page is placed into Tɛmplet:See below.
|categories=no can be used to suppress categorization Tɛmplet:See below, e.g. for draft pages.
|general=y Because several wikiprojects (Typo Team, Guild of Copyeditors, etc.) are not topical, but engaged in cleanup work across topics, this parameter can be used to suppress the "within their area of interest" wording, on any style advice pages/sections they create. This parameter only affects {{WikiProject style advice}}, but could be added to the other templates in this family if a specific need arises.
