Stubs

{{NewMexico-stub}} for the bottom of very short articles:

There are also {{NewMexico-geo-stub}} for locations and {{NewMexico-politician-stub}} for (obviously) politicians.

NOTE: Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on proposing stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will be deleted.

Userbox

{{User WikiProject New Mexico}} for your userpage or infobox subpage (puts you into Category:WikiProject New Mexico participants automatically):

WikiProject talk page banner

{{WikiProject New Mexico}} should be placed on the talk pages of relevant articles to put them under the project's radar:

{{New Mexico}} — use sparingly as it is large. Basically if the article doesn't appear in the navbox, the navbox should probably not appear on the article.

{{Albuquerque}} — for Albuquerque-related topics.

{{Santa Fe}} — for Santa Fe-related topics.

{{Infobox City}}, for all cities and towns. Example to the right:
