Forgot how that code worked? |

Before you create an article, make sure you understand [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|what kind of articles are accepted here]]. Remember: Wikipedia is an [[encyclopedia]], and while many topics are encyclopedic, [[WP:N|some things are not]]. |

It is highly recommended that you place this text: <code><nowiki>{{Educational assignment}}</nowiki></code> on the discussion page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and should be treated accordingly. |
