The main text of this banner is customised and pre-set by the notice-maker (see below). Use this banner to notify editors of maintenance work or tasks taking place across articles, for which help might be appreciated. Add it to Talk pages with the code:

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Stargate/Notice|notice=yyyy-mm-dd}}

Where yyyy-mm-dd is the date of the notice you wish to display. Notices are pre-specified by their date. You can create new dates with new notices (see below) or use a custom notice with the code {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Stargate/Notice|notice=custom notice here}}.

Creating new wide-scale notices

You can create new notices as you wish, by creating a new page for your new notice at "Wikipedia:WikiProject Stargate/Notice/yyyy-mm-dd" (where you use the date applicable to the start of the notice).

Always remember to remove notices once they are outdated. To insert a banner for a notice beginning today, you can use the code:

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Stargate/Notice|notice=2007-04-9}}

Expiry

You can specify a date on which a note expires, by adding the parameter: expire=yyyy-mm-dd, e.g.:

{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Stargate/Notice|notice=2007-04-9|expire=2007-05-10}}

On that date the note will start to display a message asking readers to remove the banner.

Example

An example of what a notice might look and read like is:

WikiProject Stargate is doing the following work on this page: Per discussion at the project, list-type articles are being restructured. Please alphabetise/order this list if it is titled "List of...", or otherwise prioritize it (more important items at the top). Some articles now require expansion or rearrangement to match their new titles. See List of Stargate lists for an overview of the new list structure. Notice active as of 2006-08-14; please remove or edit this banner if it is outdated. You can help! - edit article - add discussion - project discussion

Tracking notices

Any page with a notice on gets added to a special category (Category:WikiProject Stargate Notices (yyyy-mm-dd)). It is the responsibility of the notice-maker to keep an eye on this category, and remove the notices once they expire.

All notices will also be listed at this page.
