Project banner

This template, {{WikiProject New Jersey}}, adds articles to Category:WikiProject New Jersey articles. This template is a self-reference. Please add it to the article's talk page.

Usage

To add an article to the list, place {{WikiProject New Jersey|class= |importance= }} at the top of the article's talk page, adding it to Category:WikiProject New Jersey articles. This template should be transcluded as {{WikiProject New Jersey}} and not substituted {{subst:}} because it employs conditional code. Transclusion also allows easy updating of all the Project's talk pages without having to edit thousands of pages. The template also employs several optional data field parameters as described below.

{{WikiProject New Jersey
 |class =
 |importance =
 |attention =
 |needs-infobox = 
 |listas =
 |education =
 |education-importance =
}}

If blank (#default), this will default as unassessed and list the article at Category:Unassessed New Jersey articles. NA is "not assessed". Descriptions of some of the options can be found at WikiProject New Jersey/Quality scale.

Notes

To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.
This template includes a hook for WikiProject announcements. Appropriate short notices may be placed at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey/Bulletin for automatic transclusion if there is consensus at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New Jersey.
