Project banner
[edit]The {{WPDRAVCIV}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the Dravidian civilizations WikiProject. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner. The full syntax is as follows:

- Notes
- Please use lowercase forms.. The uppercase forms generally do not work.
- A few redlink categories need fixing to get the Portal / Review functions working.
- The image request feature is listed "below the fold" when used. If people feel this is a problem, please let me know.
- Please report any other errors if you see them.
- Credit where it is due
This template is basically based on the excellent {{WPFC}} banner.
