Usage
The {{WIR}} series of template serves two main functions.
Tracking pages
The primary function of the templates is to keep track of various pages for WikiProject Women in Red. They will categorize those pages in relevant tracking categories, which can then be used by bots to create the Article Alerts report and other similar reports like the recognized content report.
Articles
To keep track of articles associated with specific edit-a-thons or initiatives, place one of the specific templates (e.g. {{WIR-1}}
or {{WIR-00-2017}}
) directly on the talk page, near the top. This will produce a banner such as
WikiProject Women in Red | Asian Pacific American Women edit-a-thon) | (|||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
If the article was not created or improved as part of a specific edit-a-thon or initiative, you can instead use a generic template such as {{WIR 2015}}
to produce
WikiProject Women in Red | ||||||||
|
General pages
To keep track of non-article pages, place {{WIR}}
directly on the talk page, near the top. This will produce the following banner
WikiProject Women in Red | ||||||||
|
Specific banners like {{WIR-1}} will also work on non-article talk pages.
Meta template
The second function of {{WIR}} is to serve as a meta-template, which can be used to create other edit-a-thon specific templates to keep track of articles created or improved during edit-a-thons and other events related to Women in Red. This is only of interest to those who are heavily involved in the organizing of meetups and edit-a-thons, regular participants can safely ignore this aspect. See instead Which template should I use? below for a table of pre-built templates that can be used by anyone instead.
The syntax is {{WIR|date=|meetup=|event=|event-type=|image=|image-link= }}
, where
parameter | Required? | Description |
---|---|---|
|date= |
Yes | The date the project happened. Accepts any sort of dates. |
|meetup= |
Yes | The edit-a-thon number of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red (the # in Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Meetup/# ).
|
|event= |
Yes | The name of the event. |
|event-type= |
No | The type of event, if it is not an edit-a-thon. |
|image= |
No | To use a custom image, e.g. |image=1day1woman.png to use File:1day1woman.png. Otherwise the template will use File:Women in Red logo.svg by default.
|
Simple case
For instance, {{WIR-1}} uses
{{WIR |date=2016 |meetup=1 |event=Asian Pacific American Women}}
which produces
WikiProject Women in Red | Asian Pacific American Women edit-a-thon) | (|||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
{{WIR-1}} can then be used directly on articles' talk page.
Complex case
A more complicated case, {{WIR-00-2017}}, uses
{{WIR |meetup=00 |date=2017 |event=#1day1woman |event-type=initiative |image=1day1woman.png }}
which produces
WikiProject Women in Red | #1day1woman initiative) | (|||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
{{WIR-00-2017}} can then be used directly on articles' talk page.

I created/improved an article for the #1day1woman initiative. Which template should I use?

What if I don't remember during which meetup the article was created/improved, or if the article was not created during a specific meetup?
If you don't remember during which meetup an article was created/improved, or that the article was not created/improved during a meetup use the generic
- {{WIR 2015}}
- {{WIR 2016}}
- {{WIR 2017}}
- {{WIR 2018}}
- {{WIR 2019}}
- {{WIR 2020}}
- {{WIR 2020}}
- {{WIR 2021}}
If you don't remember the year, {{WIR}} also works, but it is best to find out when the article was created/improved by browsing the article's edit history.
For instance, placing {{WIR 2020}}
on the article's talk page will display
WikiProject Women in Red | ||||||||
|
What if I want to keep track of pages other than articles?
For non-articles, like categories, templates, and the like, tag their associated talk page with {{WIR}}
directly. The other templates will work, so you can replace {{WIR}}
with a more specific {{WIR-###}}
.
Help, I'm stuck!
Post a message at Template talk:WIR, explaining what exactly you are trying to do and someone will help.
You can in particular contact User:Headbomb, especially for technical questions, or support for things that don't quite fit the existing molds.
Mistakes in tagging
Sometimes Women in Red banners are accidentally or mistakenly placed on the talk pages of articles that were not created or improved for a WiR event. When it looks like a banner is placed incorrectly, please verify it was a mistake by checking the article's history, and feel free to remove the banner. Banners are often added to talk pages based on the event's list of outcomes, so it's a good idea to follow the link in the banner before removing it, so that the article can also be removed from the event's list of outcomes.
If you have questions about this banner's use, reach out to the user who added it or leave a message at the Women in Red talk page.
Namespace behaviour
The following is only of interest to {{WIR}} template maintainers and documentation writers, or during technical discussion about the templates
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
If placed directly on a Wikipedia talk page (like Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red), {{WIR-1}} will display the following short message
However, on an article talk page, the template will display the following long message
By default, the template gives the long message only on the Talk, Template, and Wikipedia namespaces. All other namespaces (e.g. Category talk) will have the short messages displayed. To force a specific appearance (this should likely only be done during discussions about the template), use
Note this will only change the appearance of the template, not its categorization behavior.
The templates will categorize pages as follows:
