Project Templates
Project banner
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
 | This user is a participant in WikiProject Geology. |
This will add you to WikiProject Geology members. You can also just put [[Category:WikiProject Geology members]] at the bottom of your userpage.
Barnstar
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
Infoboxes, navboxes and timelines
- {{Infobox Rockunit}} - for geological formations
- {{Geological period}} - for Geologic periods
- {{Geological era}} - for Geological eras
- {{Infobox mineral}} - for minerals
- {{Geology}} - navbox for geology-related articles
- {{Include timeline}} produces timelines like the ones you'll see at Late Devonian extinction.

Period properties
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
- 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.
