RLCraft Wiki:Templates

There are many templates in use in RLCraft Wiki; these are only a subset, representing some of the most important and commonly used ones. If you feel that a template belongs on this page, do not hesitate to add it.

• Category:Templates should cover all templates in the wiki.
• The Template namespace always has all templates in the wiki, sorted alphanumerically.

What are templates?

Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over across pages. This saves editors effort of duplicating the same content over and over, and also helps ensure consistency.

Templates are generally shown with the format required to use the template (e.g. {{delete}}). Clicking the template name takes you to the template's page, where you can see what it looks like and how it is used.

Detailed instructions on the usage of each template should exist on either:

1. a subpage using {{documentation}}
   • Template:Item/doc for Template:Item
2. the template page itself (inside "<noinclude></noinclude>" tags)

...with potentially more information on the template's talk page.

For more information on templates, see mw:Help:Templates.

Disambiguation pages

{{disambiguation}} / {{disambig}}

• If you have several articles that have similar or identical names, you may wish to create a "disambiguation" page at the main article name, or alternatively "{Article Name} (Disambiguation)" (example: Saddle (Disambiguation)), with the articles taking including a specifying suffix in brackets. For example:

Pixie <-- disambiguation page, with links to:

Pixie (Familiar Fauna)

Pixie (Ice and Fire)

And a mention of

Pixen (Lycanites Mobs)

• Using {{disambiguation}} marks an article as a disambiguation page by adding a banner to the article and categorizing it under Category:Disambiguations. Add bullet pointed links to the various articles under the banner.
