Usage

This template creates a Keep It Simple label, suitable for inclusion on user pages. It is intended to be used from other templates (see 'Label Naming' below).

Example usage with WikiProject Medicine:

{{WP:KIS/label |tgt=Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine |tgtname=WP:MED |catname=WikiProject Medicine participants |theme={{{theme}}}}}

Label Naming:

Please follow the naming conventions at WP:USERBOX#Which namespace?, except that KIS labels no longer have their own space. All new templates should go into userspace or project space, and closely follow an existing category, such as {{Template:User template}} (templates) would become {{User:<your name>/KIS/template}} Add it to the category Category:Keep It Simple templates so we know about it, and optionally add it to WP:KIS.

User labels should no longer use the User label pseudonamespace as the userboxes do. Templates in this userspace will be moved following WP:UM.

Text you want to appear in the KIS box.
Prefixes:
  • WP: = WikiProjects
  • W: = Wikipedia space
  • B: = Languages (Babel)
  • L: = Life, status, and situation
  • W: = Wikipedia-related
  • O: = Other
