Smash Hit Wiki:Templates

There are many templates in use in the Smash Hit Wiki; these are only subsets, 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 (found from Special:AllPages) always has all templates in the wiki, sorted alphanumerically.

What are the templates?

Wiki templates provide a means to insert the same content over and over in different (or the same) pages. This saves editors the hassle of duplicating the same text again and again, 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:

1. a subpage using {{documentation}}; or
2. the template page itself (inside "noinclude" tags); or
3. the template's talk page.

For more information on templates, see Help:Templates.

Article management templates

Nominate an article for deletion

{{delete}}

• Add this to an article to nominate it for deletion. It will add the article to Category:Pages nominated for deletion.

Disambiguation articles

{{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, with the articles taking an extra phrase in brackets afterwards. For example:

Glass Panes <-- disambiguation page, with links to:

Shifting glass panes

Sliding Glass Panes

• Using {{disambig}} marks an article as a disambiguation page by adding a banner to the article and categorizing it under Category:Disambiguations. Add links to the various articles under the banner.
• For more information, see Help:Disambiguation.

General wiki templates

Clear

{{clr}}

• This template is used to reduce the amount of non-wikicode used on pages, replacing the code <br style="clear:both;" />. Its use should generally be avoided.
• You can use {{clr}} instead of the HTML tag that clears space below things like images, pictures and tables, so the following stuff doesn't begin until the bottom of the image, picture or table box.

Right-aligned Table of Contents

{{tocright}}

• This template floats the table of contents (toc) on the right. It should only be used when absolutely necessary, to keep consistent design.

T is for Template

{{t}}

• This template allows you to show example template code (with a link to the templates) without using the template itself. It is used extensively on this page.

• Wikia Templates
• Wikipedia; may be copied, but some need tweaking to work properly on Wikia, so use a Wikia version if possible.
