![]() | This is a
documentation
subpage for
Template:WikiProject. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
![]() | This template should always be
substituted (i.e., use {{
subst:WikiProject}} ). |
This is just the boilerplate text to help in creating a new WikiProject.
For example, suppose the name of your new WikiProject is
Foo. The first step is to
create the page "Wikipedia:WikiProject Foo", and
substitute this template in it by typing this text: {{subst:WikiProject|Foo}}
. After saving, this code will be replaced by a skeleton for a WikiProject page which you have to adapt to the needs of your project. Some elements are in
comments and will have to be uncommented, others that are unnecessary will have to be deleted or commented out. Some advice is also provided in the comments.

(notice the lower-case "b").After creating the page, make sure that all the links that are auto-generated in the page work and go to the correct pages; this template is a very blunt instrument.
An extended example (using real page data for the topic, as of 2016-06):
