| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Inactive WikiProject banner. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Contents
Usage
This template is designed to replace banner templates of inactive WikiProjects. The template is not visible — however the page is categorized as belonging to an inactive WikiProject. This helps users later revive the project without cluttering the talk-page interface.
The easiest way to convert a banner template to an inactive state, is to replace WPBannerMeta with WPBannerMeta/inactive.
Parameters
The only required parameters are:
- PROJECT - the name of the WikiProject (but without the word "WikiProject")
- BANNER_NAME - the page name of the banner template
- category - should be passed to allow category optout, i.e.
|category={{{category|}}}
However all the other Template:WPBannerMeta parameters can and should be retained, as this will make it easier to "revive" the project in the future.
Examples
{{WPBannerMeta/inactive
|PROJECT = Extreme sports
|BANNER_NAME = Template:WikiProject Extreme sports
|category={{{category|}}}
}}
- produces:
Template:WPBannerMeta/inactive
- When inside a banner shell the result is:
Template:WikiProjectBannerShell
If a WikiProject becomes defunct then apply the |status=defunct parameter in the following manner:
{{WPBannerMeta/inactive
|PROJECT = Policy and Guidelines
|BANNER_NAME = Template:WikiProject Policy and Guidelines
|category={{{category|}}}
|status=defunct
}}
- produces:
Template:WPBannerMeta/inactive
- When inside a banner shell the result is:
Template:WikiProjectBannerShell
