Project Templates
[edit]Project banner
[edit]Place {{WikiProject Geology|class=|importance=}}
onto any new Geology article's talk page for it to be recognised and assessed under the project's scope. An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters and helps organise relevant articles for improvement. When assessed, the class and importance parameters are filled in, like this:
{{WikiProject Geology|class=Start|importance=Mid}}
and the banner looks like this:
Geology Start‑class Mid‑importance | ||||||||||
|
Shortcuts: {{WikiProject Geology}}, {{WPGEOLOGY}}, {{WPGeology}}, {{WP Geology}}
For more information visit the assessment page: Wikipedia:WikiProject Geology/Assessment
Userbox
[edit]This user is a participant in WikiProject Geology. |
This will add you to WikiProject Geology participants. You can also just put [[Category:WikiProject Geology participants]] at the bottom of your userpage.
Barnstar
[edit]For recognition of contributions to the Geology Wikiproject, place {{subst:The Geology Barnstar|message|~~~~}}
on the recipient's talk page. It should look like this:
The Geology Barnstar | |
message name (talk) date/time |

Article templates
[edit]Infoboxes, navboxes and timelines
[edit]- {{Infobox Rockunit}} - for geological formations
- {{Infobox geologic timespan}} - for the various kinds of geologic timespans
- {{Infobox mineral}} - for minerals
- {{Geology}} - navbox for geology-related articles
- {{Include timeline}} produces timelines like the ones you'll see at Late Devonian extinction.
Stubs
[edit]Template | Result | Usage |
---|---|---|
{{geology-stub}} | Generic geology stub template. | |
{{crater-stub}} | Stub articles relating to extraterrestrial geological features. | |
{{geochronology-stub}} | Stub template for all things regarding geologic time. | |
{{geologic-formation-stub}} | Stub template for stratigraphic units. | |
{{geologist-stub}} | This biographical article about a geologist is a stub. You can help the Wikiproject, WikiProject Geology, by expanding it.
|
Stub articles relating to geologists. |
{{geomorph-stub}} | Stub template for geomorphological features. | |
{{geophysics-stub}} | Stub articles relating to geophysics. | |
{{glaciology-stub}} | Stub template for all things connected to glaciers and glaciation. | |
{{hydrology-stub}} | Stub template for hydrology. | |
{{mineral-stub}} | Stub articles relating to minerals. | |
{{mining-stub}} | Stub template for mining. | |
{{paleontologist-stub}} | Stub template for paleontologist. | |
{{paleo-stub}} | Stub template for paleontology. | |
{{petroleum-stub}} | Stub template for all things oil and gas. | |
{{petrology-stub}} | Stub template for petrology | |
{{regional-geology-stub}} | Stub template for regional geology. | |
{{tectonics-stub}} | Stub template for tectonics and structural geology. | |
{{volcanology-stub}} | Stub template for volcanoes. |
Period properties
[edit]Because details of periods are continually being refined, it is simpler to maintain a central list of dates, called by each article, than to amend every article individually when things change. It also saves having to look dates etc up each time!
- {{Period start}} and {{Period end}} return the date a period begins or ends in Ma.
- {{Ma}} returns the same, with a wikilink to the geological time scale. e.g. {{Ma|Cambrian}}.
- {{Period color}} returns the colour associated with a geological period (as determined by the IGU).

Guidelines
[edit]- See Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles.
- Suggestions to Authors of the Reports of the United States Geological Survey (otherwise known as STA) is the style guide used at the USGS. Not Wikipedia-oriented, of course, but very useful for those puzzles involving English phrases and grammar peculiar to the earth sciences.
- Wikipedia:Wikiproject Geology/Notability is an essay on how notability, reliability, and due weight may be applied to articles on geologic topics.
