California State University task force templates

Task force banner

• {{WikiProject California|calstate=yes|calstate-importance=}}

This template should be placed on all article talk pages in the California State University article series as shown, using the |calstate=yes parameter (you may also add a value for the |calstate-importance= parameter if you feel comfortable making that assessment, valid values are: 'Top', 'High', 'Mid', and 'Low', with 'NA' used for any pages outside the main article namespace); doing so will automatically add the article to the category California State University task force articles.

Prospective member invitation

• {{subst:Cal Invitation/calstate|article=}}

This can be added to a user's talk page to extend an invitation to the California State University task force. You can supply a page name to the |article= parameter to mention an article you'd noticed they've edited and compliment their work there.

I also lived across the street from SF State for a while and frequently discovered its students passed out in my front yard, which, I believe, officially makes me an honorary member of the CSU community.)
