Template:WikiProject Writing systems/doc

This template is the project banner for WikiProject Writing systems, a WikiProject concerned with the improvement of content, coverage and organisation of articles and other materials relating to writing systems.

The template is to be placed on talk pages of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (at or near the top of the talkpage). It contains some brief information and links for the Project, and also an expandable view of the Project's current priority open tasklist.

This template automatically assigns the appropriate subcategories of Category:WikiProject writing system articles to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated Project categories are used in various ways by the Project in the overall management of the Project's workload.
