Usage edit
The {{WikiProject Michigan}} 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. The full syntax is as follows:
{{WikiProject Michigan
| class =
| importance =
| attention =
| unref =
| imageneeded =
| imagedetails =
| detroit =
}}
