Wiki templates
The following templates were created to help manage the Wiki. They are added to a page as required using the format {{TEMPLATE NAME}}. Template pages include documentation on use of the template embedded directly in the page. Use the links below to see the detailed instructions and use information.
| Template | Description |
|---|---|
| Page Formatting (View Category) | |
| Anchor | Creates a wikilink on a page at that point where the template is added. Use the "|" (pipe) character in the format {{Anchor}}. |
| Clear | Forces the content (text, tables, images, etc.) above {{Clear}} to finish displaying before the content below continues. Prevents left and right column formats from breaking into new sections below. |
| Red | Uses only the first parameter to add emphasis with red text using the format {{Red}}. Currently links do not pass correctly without using escape characters. Otherwise use two Red templates to format the text on either side of the link without including the link itself. |
| ReturnTop | Provides a hyperlink to the top of the current page. Place {{ReturnTop}} after each section of a large page of sections. |
| Underline | Uses only the first parameter to add emphasis with underlining text using the format {{Underline}}. Also available as {{U}}. |
| Maintenance Messages (View Category) | |
| NeedImage | Insert {{NeedImage}} on a page where images or screen shots are needed. It tells the reader images are still needed here. |
| UpdateImage | Insert {{UpdateImage}} on a page where images or screen shots need to be updated. It tells the reader that the images are not completely current. |
| NeedInfo | Insert {{NeedInfo}} on a page where more information is required for that topic. It tells the reader that more information is coming. |
| NeedPage | Place {{NeedPage}} on a new page to tell readers that the page has not yet been created, but is coming soon. Prevents users hitting a red create page link if the page does not yet exist. |
| Obsoleted | Place {{Obsoleted}} on obsolete pages that have already had their links reviewed for replacement. If that step is not yet complete, use {{ToObsolete}} instead. |
| Delete page | Place {{Delete page}} on pages that should not have been added or now need to be deleted and a Wiki administrator can come through and delete the page completely. |
| ToObsolete | Place {{ToObsolete}} on obsolete pages that need to have the links reviewed for possible replacement to more current/active pages. Remove and replace with {{Obsoleted}} once the links are reviewed. |
