This is an incomplete templates used by WikiProject South Africa. You can assist by adding templates that are not listed here to the relevant section
Project banner
[edit]{{WikiProject South Africa}}
should be added to the talk pages of all articles within the Category:South Africa or any of its subcategories. It automatically adds these articles to the Category:WikiProject South Africa articles and will render in the talk page as follow:
South Africa Unassessed | ||||||||||
|
Consider adding the |Protected Areas=yes parameter for protected areas (nature reserves, national parks etc), |Military History=yes for military history related articles or |Municipalities=yes for municipal articles.
It is also a good idea to add {{Talk header}} and {{South African English}} to the talk pages of South African related articles.
