User:Thnidu/Template:Defunct WikiProject banner by WPBannerMeta/doc

Usage

This template is designed to replace banner templates of defunct WikiProjects. This results in a reduced-size banner on uses of the template and a message explaining that the project is defunct.

The easiest way to convert a banner template to a defunct state is to replace WPBannerMeta with WPBannerMeta/defunct.

Parameters

The only required parameters are:

• PROJECT - the name of the WikiProject (but without the word "WikiProject")
• BANNER_NAME - the page name of the banner template
• category - should be passed to allow category optout, i.e. |category={{{category|}}}

However all the other Template:WPBannerMeta parameters can and should be retained, as this will make it easier to "revive" the project in the future.

Example

{{WPBannerMeta/defunct
 |PROJECT     = Extreme sports
 |BANNER_NAME = Template:WikiProject Extreme sports
 |category={{{category|}}}
}}

produces: User:Thnidu/Template:WPBannerMeta/defunct When inside a banner shell the result is:
