Template:New book
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection
[edit] Use
Put this template at the top of every new book. A book is "new" if it generally satisfies these requirements:
- If it has been created within a month or so
- If it has never had this template on it before
- If it has never been properly categorized
- 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:
- It has been tagged for more then 2 weeks
- There are more then 25 books listed on Template:New, and this is one of the oldest books in that list
- 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.
