__NOTOC__
=== Project banner === <!-- PLEASE DON'T CHANGE THE LEVEL OF THIS HEADING, AS IT IS NECESSARY FOR PROPER TRANSCLUSION. -->
The '''{{Template link|WikiProject Computing}}''' project banner template should be added (''not'' [[WP:SUBST|subst:ed]]) to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project.  

=== Usage ===
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 is as follows:
