This template is the project banner for WikiProject Writing systems, a WikiProject concerned with the improvement of content, coverage and organisation of articles and other materials relating to writing systems.

The template is to be placed on talk pages of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (at or near the top of the talkpage). It contains some brief information and links for the Project, and also an expandable view of the Project's current priority open tasklist.

This template automatically assigns the appropriate subcategories of Category:WikiProject writing system articles to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated Project categories are used in various ways by the Project in the overall management of the Project's workload.

This template contains several (optional) parameters, details of usage are given below.

Usage

General syntax options for this template are as follows:

{{WikiProject Writing systems
  |class=
  |importance=
  |attention=
}}

The parameters are named, and (if used) must be entered exactly as-is (note, all are lowercase).

The class and importance parameters are associated with the Project's article assessment and rating scheme. These parameters add a category to the talkpage, which category depends on the values chosen.

Parameter values

This optional parameter records the Project quality assessment rating currently assigned to the particular article on whose talkpage the project banner appears.
