This WikiProject banner template uses Module:WikiProject banner, a meta-template for easily creating and maintaining project banners. Please report any errors or feature requests to Module talk:WikiProject banner. Information or warnings about the template are below:

The 61 task forces and/or work groups will automatically collapse if more than 5 of them are displayed. To change this setting, set or update the |TF_COLLAPSE= parameter.
The 5 notes in this template will automatically collapse if more than 2 of them are activated. To change this setting, set or update the |COLLAPSED= parameter.
This banner template includes a link to Portal:Asia, and the accompanying image is File:Asia (orthographic projection).svg. See the instructions on how to change this.
Automatic parameter checking is enabled. Create the tracking category to track invalid parameters.
There are too many task forces to check the assessment categories for each one, so the following selection have been checked: 9, 16, 21, 24, 27, 28, 47, 49, 52, 57.

Usage

The ((WikiProject Asia |class= |importance= )) 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, described below. Several national and regional projects already have their own banners, and should be used where possible, although this banner may be used for assessment purposes if the others do not have assessment parameters.
