Historical Project

Shortcut: WM:H This project seeks to collect old pages of historical interest. These pages are heavily documented, explained, and cross-referenced using a standardised set of templates (see category of templates). In addition, the history index contains both summaries and in-depth explanation of project histories.

Historical pages are organized using categories and indexes.

[edit] Documentation

Historical pages should be documented by the historical header template, and added to the relevant index and category. The historical template usage is shown below; all parameters are optional (as long as you don't remove empty parameters). See also the template documentation.

{{historical header
 |title    = 
 |section  = 
 |previous = 
 |next     =
 |notes    = 
 |see      = 
}}

example:
{{historical header
 |title    = [[../|2003 Wikipedia international logo contest]]
 |section  = Logos 26-50
 |previous = [[../Logos 1-25|Logos 1-25]]
 |next     = [[../Logos 51-75|Logos 51-75]]
 |notes    = 
 |see      = [[../|2003 Wikipedia international logo contest]]
}}
