How to use this template

This template is designed to make it easy to create a main page for an OLPC Project, whether it's technical, nontechnical, short-term, long-term... anything. Specific templates for certain kinds of projects may exist (if you know of any, I'd appreciate it if you could link them below). To use it:

  1. Create a new page with the name of your project. If a page with that name already exists, pick a new name or add a specifier - for instance, if "Time" already exists, make "Time zones game" or something similar.
  2. type {{subst:Template:Project|projecttitle = NAME OF PROJECT|startedby = YOUR USERNAME}} into that page (where NAME OF PROJECT is the name of the wikipage of your project and YOUR USERNAME is your wiki username), then save it.
  3. That's it! You'll have to go in and fill out the content yourself. See foo and bar for examples of usage. (Note: If you use this template, please replace foo and bar with a link to your project so others can see examples of usage.)

Contact a wiki admin if you need help. See Special:Listusers and display users starting at Group:Sysops.
