This template is for the top of the main page of a WikiProject to clearly identify it as such (and it is intended to replace the default boilerplate text many WikiProjects have at the top, so that the introductory area can have a more customized message, with this template taking care of the stock wording. As with {{Essay}}, {{Guideline}}, etc., it accepts shortcut parameters (up to 5), as shown in the examples above. It is not intended for things that are somewhat like a WikiProject, but are not named Wikipedia:WikiProject SOMETHING; a new template should be made for unusual project pages of that sort (or this template upgraded to handle another parameter for this), if the need is felt for one.

This template does not add the page to any categories, as projects are subcategorized very topically, and manually, at the bottom of the project page.
