[edit] Use

Put this template at the top of every new book. A book is "new" if it generally satisfies these requirements:

  1. If it has been created within a month or so
  2. If it has never had this template on it before
  3. If it has never been properly categorized
  4. If it has never been sighted or evaluated by an experienced editor.

This template adds books to Category:New Books, and they will appear on Template:New.

[edit] Removing This Template

This template helps to advertise a book and ensures it gets properly organized. In general, it is a good thing to keep this template on the book for as long as possible. Here are some reasons to remove this template from a book:

  1. It has been tagged for more then 2 weeks
  2. There are more then 25 books listed on Template:New, and this is one of the oldest books in that list
  3. This book is properly categorized

When you remove this template from a book, make sure to evaluate it and tag the book with any cleanup templates that it needs. See Wikibooks:Template messages or Whiteknight's Template Cheatsheet for ideas about what cleanup templates exist and when to use them.

[edit] Notes

If this is not a new book, but is not properly categorized, use {{uncategorized}} instead.
