[edit] Usage

[edit] Project banner

The {{NovelsWikiProject}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit hundreds of pages. The full syntax is as follows:

{{NovelsWikiProject
|class= 
|importance= 
|attention= 
|needs-infobox=
|incomp-infobox=
|collaboration-candidate=
|past-collaboration=
<!--|peer-review= for future functional use-->
<!--|old-peer-review= for future functional use-->
<!-- Task force tags -->
|short-story-task-force=
}}

General parameters:

• class – a rating of the article's quality; see the assessment department for more details.
• importance – a rating of the article's importance; see the assessment department for more details.
• attention – "yes" if the article requires immediate attention; this should be used sparingly.
• needs-infobox – "yes" if the article requires a suitable "Infobox" (e.g. "Infobox Book") adding
• incomp-infobox – "yes" if the article requires a suitable "Infobox" completing
• collaboration-candidate – "yes" if the article is currently a candidate for the project's Collaboration of the Month.
• past-collaboration – if the article was previously a Collaboration of the Month, the dash-separated dates of the collaboration period; must be left blank otherwise.

Task force parameters

• short-story-task-force – "yes" if the article is supported by the Short story task force

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