==About the template==
The {{tlx|WikiProject Islands}} template adds article talk pages, category talk pages, template talk pages, etc. (whatever it is placed on) to [[:Category:WikiProject Islands articles]]. It is also used to track article classifications and presents readers with a current "to do" list.

==How to use this template==
*The template always goes onto Talk pages, not article pages. The template must be ''transcluded'' and '''not''' ''substituted'' (using subst).
*The template accepts '''one optional parameter'''.
**The following fixed values denote the "[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Islands/Article Classification#Article progress grading scheme|article quality]]" as decided upon at [[WP:ISLANDS]]. Passing one of these values as the parameter places the Talk page into the applicable category which is scanned by [[User:Mathbot|Mathbot]] to create the [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Index of subjects|Wikipedia Version 1.0 article lists]].
***If the attached article is a [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|featured article]], use <nowiki>{{WikiProject Islands|FA}}</nowiki>
***If the attached article is a [[Wikipedia:Good articles|good article]], use <nowiki>{{WikiProject Islands|GA}}</nowiki>
***If the attached article is A-Class, use <nowiki>{{WikiProject Islands|A}}</nowiki>
***If the attached article is B-Class, use <nowiki>{{WikiProject Islands|B}}</nowiki>
***If the attached article is Start-Class, use <nowiki>{{WikiProject Islands|Start}}</nowiki>
***If the attached article is Stub-Class, use <nowiki>{{WikiProject Islands|Stub}}</nowiki>
**If any other value is supplied as the parameter (such as "template", "category", or even an incorrect lower case "start") the parameter is presumed to be a word describing what sort of page it is. Use this if the attached article is not in the main space (it's a category, project page, etc.). For example:
*::<nowiki>{{WikiProject Islands|category}}</nowiki> outputs "This category is part of ..."

For main space articles which have not yet been assessed, simply use <nowiki>{{WikiProject Islands}}</nowiki>. This default places the article in [[:Category:Unassessed Islands articles]], and doesn't change the wording of the template in any way.
