[edit] Project banner

The {{WPDRAVCIV}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the Dravidian civilizations WikiProject. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. The full syntax is as follows:

Notes
  • Please use lowercase forms.. The uppercase forms generally do not work.
  • A few redlink categories need fixing to get the Portal / Review functions working.
  • The image request feature is listed "below the fold" when used. If people feel this is a problem, please let me know.
  • Please report any other errors if you see them.
Credit where it is due
