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:

This is a WikiProject, an area for focused collaboration among FamilySearch Wiki contributors.

Usage: Semi-active projects[edit source]

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

{{WikiProject status{{{3}}}{{{4}}}{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}}

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:

This WikiProject is believed to be semi-active. Activity is slower than it once was. If you are not currently a member of the project, please consider joining it to help. See the WikiProject Guide for advice on reviving an inactive WikiProject.
Feel free to remove this tag if activity resumes or if this tag was placed in error. If almost no activity occurs in this WikiProject, consider replacing this tag with {{WikiProject status{{{3}}}{{{4}}}{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}}.

Usage: Inactive projects[edit source]

Place this template at the top of any WikiProject:

{{WikiProject status{{{3}}}{{{4}}}{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}}

A project is generally considered inactive when:

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.

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 inactive 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:

This WikiProject is believed to be inactive. If you are not currently a member of the project, please consider joining it to help. This tag may be removed if activity resumes, or if this tag has been placed in error.
