Template:WikiProject Dravidian civilizations/doc

Project banner
The WPDRAVCIV project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the Dravidian civilizations WikiProject. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. The full syntax is as follows:

 * General parameters:
 * class – a rating of the article's quality; see WikiProject Dravidian civilizations/Assessment for more details. Valid values are:

 * Stub - The article is a stub; it likely contains one of the former countries stub templates.
 * Needed - The article does not yet exist but has been identified as a subject that should be covered OR the article is currently just a redirect.

 * Cat - Category
 * Dab - Disambiguation
 * Template - Templates such as infoboxes and navbars
 * List - Pages containing only a list of some sort


 * Maintenance parameters (set it to "yes" to include it):

 * andhra – "yes" if the article is supported by WikiProject Andhra Pradesh
 * karnataka – "yes" if the article is supported by WikiProject Karnataka

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.


 * Notes:
 * Please use lowercase forms.. The uppercase forms generally do not work.
 * A few redlink categories need fixing to get the Portal / Review functions working.
 * The image request feature is listed "below the fold" when used. If people feel this is a problem, please let me know.
 * Please report any other errors if you see them.

This template is basically based on the excellent WPFC banner.
