This template is used on approximately 200,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
Usage
lembaThis template is designed to replace banner templates of inactive WikiProjects. Keeping an inactive project's template on relevant talkpages helps any group of users who later wishes to revive the project. This template will auto-categorize the project banner into Category:Inactive WikiProject banners.
The easiest way to convert a banner template to an inactive state, is to replace WPBannerMeta with WPBannerMeta/inactive.
Parameters
lembaThe only required parameters are:
- PROJECT - the name of the WikiProject (but without the word "WikiProject")
- BANNER_NAME - the page name of the banner template
- category - should be passed to allow category optout, i.e.
|category={{{category|}}}
However, all the other Template:WPBannerMeta parameters can and should be retained, as this will make it easier to "revive" the project in the future.
Examples
lemba{{WPBannerMeta/inactive
|PROJECT = Extreme sports
|BANNER_NAME = Template:WikiProject Extreme sports
|category={{{category|}}}
}}
- produces:
WikiProject Extreme sports | (Inactive) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
|
- When inside a banner shell the result is:
This template is rated NA-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. It is of interest to the following WikiProjects: |
||||||||
|
If a WikiProject becomes defunct then apply the |status=defunct
parameter in the following manner:
{{WPBannerMeta/inactive
|PROJECT = Policy and Guidelines
|BANNER_NAME = Template:WikiProject Policy and Guidelines
|category={{{category|}}}
|status=defunct
}}
- produces:
WikiProject Policy and Guidelines | (Defunct) | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
|
- When inside a banner shell the result is:
