Announcements and open tasks
[edit]Project banner
[edit]The {{WikiProject Ships}} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed) to the talk page of every file within the scope of the project. 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 and usage instructions are listed on the template's documentation page.
Images showing unidentified objects
[edit]Sometimes, users upload images without a proper description or categorization – mostly because they don't know what their photographs show, don't know how to add categories or simply forgot to provide a decent description. Within the scope of the WikiProject Ships, there are some special categories that are used to gather those files. Users are invited to tag files with those categories, if they find pictures that show such unidentified objects. Of course, users are even more invited to browse those categories from time to time and see if they can add proper categories and descriptions to some of the files.
