Parameters

All the parameters of the template are optional.

Parameter	Description
date	The date when the educational assignment ended. Enter the date in any method accepted by the template {{date}}, such as "`2010-07-01`", "`1 July 2010`" or "`July 1, 2010`". If you wish to alter the manner in which the date is stated, use the `\|dateformat=` parameter. By default, the template displays dates in a day-month-year format; for a month-day-year format, use "`dateformat=mdy`". For full instructions on the formats available, see {{date}}. *Use either* `\|date=` or `\|day=`, `\|month=` and `\|year=` to enter a date, not both**.
day	Instead of using `\|date=`, you can enter the date when the educational assignment ended using `\|day=`, `\|month=` and `\|year=`. You can also enter only a month and year, or a year alone. Type the month as a numeral (that is, "`7`" instead of "`July`"). If you enter only a month and year, or a year alone, the template checks to see if this partial date is earlier than or the same as the current month and/or year. If it is earlier, the template automatically indicates that the article was an educational assignment in the specified month and/or year. Otherwise, it indicates that the article is currently an educational assignment in the specified month and/or year.
month
year
link	The name of a Wikipedia page where there is a description of the project, like this: "`Wikipedia:WikiProject Public art`".
