Any article related to this task force should be marked with "sf-task-force=yes" to the {{tl|WikiProject Novels}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into :Category:Science fiction novels task force articles.

The resulting code is usually:

{{WikiProject Novels
|class=

}}
