Template:WikiProject advice/doc

Usage


Place one of the following (with correct shortcut) at the top of the page:

When to use
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
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, another part with , etc. The parameter can also be used to say something more specific about an entire page, e.g. undefined.

WP:SHORTCUT provides a shortcut link to the page/section. Up to five shortcuts may be specified as unnamed, numbered, or named parameters: 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.

no can be used to suppress categorization, e.g. for draft pages.

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, but could be added to the other templates in this family if a specific need arises.

This template has an interprets parameter. Replaces "on Wikipedia or its process" with "on [whatever you put in the parameter]": You can also use to produce better-looking links to page sections, e.g.: the policy, which renders as "the  policy".
 * the No original research policy
 * the Manual of Style guideline
