Wiki Templates

From Grooper Wiki

This is an internal reference for Wiki content creators organizing and describing various templates used in the Grooper Wiki.

Auto versioning

These templates create the boxes at the top of articles that allow users to switch between versions.

Template:AutoVersion - The main one.

  • This is used when you add {{AutoVersion}} at the top of each article.
  • This template references two other templates.

No article

Template:NoArticle - Informs reader that no article exists for the topic they've searched for and provides our email for them to reach out and request a full article be written.

Callout Boxes

Template:fyi-box - FYI callout boxes

  • Example: {{fyi-box|Fun stuff}} renders...

FYI

Fun stuff

Template:attn-box - Attention! callout boxes

  • Example: {{attn-box|Important stuff}} renders...

Important stuff

Template:Beta - The callout box for articles written for a beta version. Add this to the top of any article written for a beta version to let readers know its a beta feature.

Template:Migrated - The callout box for articles migrated from older versions without review. Add this to the top of any articles that are just copies of older articles migrated to the main namespace.

Template:Stubs - The callout box for stub articles. Add this to the box of short and placeholder articles that need to be expanded.

Template:WIP - The callout box for "work in progress". Add this at the top of an article or section to alert a reader that it is currently in progress and known to be incomplete.

Icons

Template:IconName - Use this to print Google Material Symbols and Icons

  • You can enter in the Grooper object.
    • Example: {{IconName|Image Processing}} renders... wallpaper
  • You can enter the Google Material Symbol/Icon name
    • Example: {{IconName|wallpaper}} renders... wallpaper
  • References Template:IconLookup to lookup the Google Material Symbol/Icon name by the Grooper object name.

I should probably delete these and replace wherever they're used in articles with the IconName template at some point.
