Template:WikiProject status/doc


 * ''Pages with this template are placed in the appropriate category depending on the status selected as shown below.


 * |active or if left blank = Category:Active WikiProjects
 * |Semi-active = Category:Semi-active WikiProjects
 * |inactive = Category:Inactive WikiProjects

Examples: With no parameters or with the |active parameter:

Usage: Semi-active projects
Place this template at the top of any WikiProject that appears to be barely active:

A project is generally considered semi-active when:
 * there have been some, but relatively few, significant changes to the main project page for several months or
 * there have been some, but relatively few, discussions on its talk page for several months.

Minor fiddling with formatting, automatic archiving, and unanswered messages to the WikiProject from outsiders ("Could someone with this project please help me with...") or from bots do not count as signs of project activity.

Any editor may add this template to the top of any apparently semi-active WikiProject. Any member of the project may remove it if it is placed in error. Upon removal, please consider placing a message on the WikiProject's talk page to indicate that the group is still active.

Example:

Usage: Inactive projects

 * there are no editors listed as members or
 * there have been no significant changes to the main project page for four months or
 * there have been no discussions on its talk page for four months.
