message: I've wrapped the explanatory text atthe top in < noinclude > tags, so it won't show up when this template is subst'd. I've also changed the explanatory text so that it no longer tells you to remove the explanatory text (since it won't be there once subst'd). Hope this is OK.

thread_title:  noincluding explanatory text 

message: The m:Wikiproject group at meta has some ideas for improving the WikiProject way of doing things via a new Template:Wikiproject (currently redirects to here).
The new template will hopefully foster better coordination between languages, topics and sister projects, as well as the integration of WP:1.0 assessments and the like. There may even be a way to incorpoate some more useful metadata into the template. 
Please have a look and participate in the discussion there if you have the time and inclination. Thanks! CQ 18:12, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I recently created  and I think it would make a nice addition to the WikiProject starter template.  I'm thinking of adding the following code at the beginning (right after the noinclude part):

Looking for some opinions on this before I do it.  So, whaddaya think?  Yeah/nay? --EvilSuggestions 08:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Aside from the sort of obvious point that it conflicts with the normal placement of a project's navigation template... what precisely is the point of having infoboxes for WikiProject?  (Particularly absurdly large ones?)  It's not like readers are going to be looking them up and needing a quick summary; indeed, the casual reader won't be visiting project pages at all.

message: The comment in the history is "These are useless for just about any developed project".  But isn't the point to this canned project template that this is for projects that are not developed?--Doug.(talk • contribs) 21:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Meh.  I think it's not very useful, but I don't really care all that much; so feel free to replace it if you disagree. Kirill 01:30, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree it is pointless to anyone who's been around very long.  But it does add the links to WP:PROJ, WP:COUNCIL/G, and WP:PROJDIR, all of which can be useful to newbies, I think it's where I first found links to find out what a project was an how it related to articles, portals, etc. - which may not say much for it, but that's another matter.  So, I think I'll take you up on that and put it back.--Doug.(talk • contribs) 03:00, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The Wikiquote community has decided to set up an assessment scheme similar to that of Wikipedia Wikiprojects. It should be pretty straightforward. There will be twelve classes into which all mainspace pages will be sorted: Unassessed, Stub-Class, Start-Class, C-Class, B-Class, A-Class, GP-Class, FP-Class, List-Class, Disambiguation-Class, Redirect-Class, and Placeholder-Class. GP and FP stand for "Good Page" or "Featured Page". There are no topical distinctions, though it would likely be useful to have a BLP parameter. Can anyone help with this?

replies: text: Note: After further discussion, we are going to reduce the Wikiquote classes to Unassessed, Stub-Class, Start-Class, B-Class, GP-Class, and Utility-Class. All lists, disambiguation pages, redirects, and placeholders will be classified as utility pages. BD2412 T 19:12, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

message: We currently have
 
</includeonly>
  included when substituted
<noinclude>

near the bottom of this template. Shouldn't these two Category: links be pre-colon-ised to :Category:, since new WikiProjects will often be in the draft stage and not yet ready to be categorised? I'm not quite sure whether the template is meant more for projects already in the "realistic" stage (ready for categorising) or the "early organising" stage (not yet ready), so I didn't edit the template.
