[[Wikipedia:Template namespace|Templates]] are pages used to insert content onto pages, such as boilerplate text, infoboxes, and navigation boxes. [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|Transclusion]] is the process for referring to a template from another page.

This page documents the [[:Category:WikiProject Computing templates|templates related to WikiProject Computing]] and related projects.

== User pages ==

Members of WikiProject Computing are encouraged to place {{tlx|User WP COMP}} on their userpages.

== Invitation ==
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Invitation|Signature=''(Your signature will automatically go here)''}}

This template is for use on User talk pages to recruit new users for WikiProject Computing.

To add this message to a user's talk page, copy and paste the following code (don't forget to add a section header).  Doing so will add the message above.<br />
<code><nowiki>{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Invitation|Signature=~~~~}}</nowiki></code>

== Barnstar ==
An award placed at another users talk page for improving [[Computing]]-related articles.<br>
<nowiki>{{The Computing Barnstar|1=message ~~~~}}</nowiki>
{{The Computing Barnstar|1=message <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>}}

== Article assessment and project identification ==

{{WikiProject Computing|class=NA|importance=NA|category=no}} 

* For general computing articles, place {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class= |3=importance= }} on article talk pages within the scope of this WikiProject.

The project has a number of task forces. Please use one of the following variants if applicable.
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Computer hardware task force|Hardware]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=hardware=yes|5=hardware-importance=}}
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Computer networking task force|Networking]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=network=yes|5=network-importance=}}
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Early computers task force|Early computers]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=early-comp=yes|5=early-comp-importance=}}

There are a number of projects closely related to WikiProject Computing. Articles in these projects are automatically added as to WikiProject Computing. As an alternate to using the project identification templates associated with those projects, association with these projects can be indicated through optional parameters to {{t|WikiProject Computing}}.

* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Amiga|Amiga]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=amiga=yes|5=amiga-importance=}}
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer science|Computer science]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=science=yes|5=science-importance=}}
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Software|Software]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=software=yes|5=software-importance=}}
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Websites|Websites]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=websites=yes|5=websites-importance=}}
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer Security|Computer security]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=security=yes|5=security-importance=}}
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Java|Java]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=java=yes|5=java-importance=}}
* [[Wikipedia:WikiProject RISC OS|RISC OS]] - {{tlx|WikiProject Computing|2=class=|3=importance=|4=riscos=yes|5=riscos-importance=}}

This is especially useful when an article is a member of more than one of the associated Wikiprojects or task forces: a single {{t|WikiProject Computing}} instance with multiple optional parameters can declare all project and task force affiliations.
