Usage

To include up to five shortcuts, pass parameters: {{Policy/doc|WP:V|WP:VER}}

This template links all official policies to Category:Wikipedia policies and to one of its subcategories based on the "subcategory" parameter:

• "conduct": Category:Wikipedia conduct policies
• "content": Category:Wikipedia content policies
• "deletion": Category:Wikipedia deletion policies
• "enforcement": Category:Wikipedia enforcement policies
• "procedural": Category:Wikipedia procedural policies
• "legal": Category:Wikipedia legal policies

To include additional text after the boilerplate, insert a "text" parameter.

New policies require approval

If you're writing a new policy, or substantially revising one, please remember to give the community significant time to consider your proposal. See WP:PROPOSAL for the current best practice on advertising proposals.
