<!-- PLEASE ADD CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE -->

This template is the project banner for '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Science|WikiProject History of Science]]'''.

The template is to be placed on '''talk pages''' (only) of the articles identified as being within the Project's scope (basically anything to do with the histories of science, technology, and medicine, as well as science studies, STS, etc.).

This template automatically assigns the category [[:Category:WikiProject History of Science articles]] to the articles' talk pages. This category and other associated WikiProject categories are used in various ways by the Project in the overall management of the Project's workload.

This template contains optional parameters, details of usage are given below.

===Usage instructions===
General syntax options for this template are as follows:
 <nowiki>{{WikiProject History of Science
  |class=
  |importance=
}}</nowiki>
The parameters are named, and (if used) must be entered exactly as-is (note, all are lowercase).

The ''class'' and ''importance'' parameters are associated with the Project's '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Science/Assessment|article assessment and rating scheme]]'''. These parameters add a category to the talkpage, which category depends on the values chosen.

==== Class ====
{{Assessment Class Summary
 |banner=WikiProject History of Science
 |topic=history of science
}}

==== Importance ====
{{Assessment Importance Summary
 |banner=WikiProject History of Science
