Wikipedia:WikiProject South Africa/Templates

This is an incomplete templates used by WikiProject South Africa. You can assist by adding templates that are not listed here to the relevant section

Project banner

{{WikiProject South Africa}} should be added to the talk pages of all articles within the Category:South Africa or any of its subcategories. It automatically adds these articles to the Category:WikiProject South Africa articles and will render in the talk page as follow:

Consider adding the |Protected Areas=yes parameter for protected areas (nature reserves, national parks etc), |Military History=yes for military history related articles or |Municipalities=yes for municipal articles.

It is also a good idea to add {{Talk header}} and {{South African English}} to the talk pages of South African related articles.

Infoboxes

• {{Infobox settlement}} can be used for all types of settlements in South Africa. This will provide a consistent look between South African articles and with articles from other settlements around the world. Examples: Durban, Kloof, and Johannesburg
