Usage

The {{WikiProject Asia |class= |importance= }} project banner template should be added (not subst:ed), to the talk page of every article within the scope of the project. While the template does not require any additional parameters, it has a number of optional ones that add various extra features to the banner, described below. Several national and regional projects already have their own banners, and should be used where possible, although this banner may be used for assessment purposes if the others do not have assessment parameters.
