Template:Project info

This template and registers the relevant categories and properties for a project. Will protest loudly in bold red if mandatory information is missing. If you do not wish to provide a certain piece of required information: do not use this template. Or else you will corrupt the database with incorrect information.

Usage: {{project info|description=|financing=|active=|start date=|end date=|name={{PAGENAME}}}}

All the parameters are named, and can be given in any order. description should be a shortest-possible style description of the project's purpose or activities, which should not start with the word "a" or a capital letter, and should not end with a full stop character. financing indicates which organisation provides the main financing for the project (see Property:Project funding). start date and end date give the start and end dates of the project. active states whether or not the project is currently considered to be active (see Property:Project active). name defaults to {{PAGENAME}} and should in principle never have to be set to anything else.

This template produces a small table with the given information as readable output, but this can be suppressed by setting quiet=true. If you do, you may want to add something closely resembling this table to the page instead, and take special care to remember to update this table manually as data changes.

Example:

{{project info
|description=web portal frontend for a cluster resource for bioinformatics
|financing=SNIC
|active=yes
|start date=2011-05-20
|end date=
}}
