[edit] Documentation

This is a WikiProject template belonging to Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels. It is to be added to an article's talk / discussion page when identified as a suitable Novel or Fictional Character's article for the project's attention. They should do this by adding {{NovelsWikiProject}} to the start of the article _talk page.

[edit] Discussion of the template

I'm not sure if this has been talked about before or not. Would it be possible to add to the {{Novelinfoboxneeded}} template the {{NovelsWikiProject}} template to reduce the amount of space taken up on a talk page? Grey Shadow 14:17, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Hear what you are saying - the way the Auto lists are developing the situation is changing currently. I would suggest we wait before making too many changes to these for the moment. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 08:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Given that Template:WPBiography has an infobox-needed parameter which adds a similar box, it's certainly possible. (It also has, in my opinion, a better way of dealing with the /Comments page which shows different text if one exists.) It uses some hairy syntax, but if anyone could port those features to this template, it would be a definite improvement. grendel|khan 06:37, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I had a quick look at the syntax... It's beyond my skills. Grey Shadow | Talk 06:47, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Remival of detrimental item

I removed the "tasks you can do" item from the template. The template include into hundreds of talk pages and this makes it extremely difficult to use the "what links here" function for items listed in the {{WikiProject Novels announcements}}. `'mikka 06:44, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

yes, but there is no need to use this functionality that I am aware of, as you can get an extremely similer list by checking out Category:WikiProject Novels articles. Returned "to do list" code. If this still needs change, please debate the change first. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 09:03, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
