Help:Templates
From Data Crystal
Templates are special pages which reduce the need for writing the same thing multiple times. For general information on creating and using templates, see Meta-Wiki's page on templates. This page will list and explain the templates available on this wiki. Full information on a given template can be found on its talk page.
One important feature of templates is their ability to take arguments. A template with no arguments is called as
{{template name}}
Note that the "Template:" part of the name is left out. To send arguments, one writes
{{template name|argument1=value1|argument2=Some other value}}
- Template:Clear
- Makes sure that the following text will not overlap any floats.
- Template:Tl
- Displays the name of a template as a link to that template.
- Template:Stub
- Put at the bottom of a page to mark it as lacking in content. The page will be put into Category:Stubs.
- Template:Unwritten
- Same as stub, only it marks it as lacking of anything at all. The page will instead be put into a sub-category of Category:Stubs named Category:Unwritten.
- Template:Unpopulated
- Basicly Template:Stub or Template:Unwritten, only dealing with lists. The page will be added into a sub-category of Category:Stubs named Category:Unwritten.
- Template:Moreinfo wikipedia
