Add a box title as parameter 1 (e.g., "<big>The Projects Portal</big>").
Add the content subpage as parameter 2 for the edit link (e.g., "Portal:Projects/Intro|").

{{Portal:Projects/box-header‎|<big>The Projects Portal</big>|Portal:Projects/Intro|}}
{{Portal:Projects/Intro}}
{{Portal:Projects/box-footer‎}}

The Projects Portal

Appropedia is the site for collaborative solutions in sustainability, poverty reduction and international development through the use of sound principles and appropriate technology and the sharing of wisdom and project information. It is a wiki, a type of website which allows anyone to add, remove, or edit content. Registration is encouraged but not required for contributors.

Appropedia has been described as an "appropriate technology wiki," but it is much broader than that - it is a green wiki, and a wiki for all matters of international development and aid. But most importantly, Appropedia is an open site for stakeholders to come together to find, create and improve scalable and adaptable solutions. For more about our motivation, see Appropedia:Mission.

To create a new project page, first browse the project articles and subcategories below for examples and check for possible collaboration opportunities, such as articles similar to what you're considering writing. If you are looking for ideas for your own project, check out our suggested projects. It is highly encouraged to tag your projects with their status -- you can do this with a few templates. Be Bold!
