| Info boxes are a place to store simple facts related to the article, and putting them in a small, compact table off to the side.
| | #REDIRECT [[Nintendo GameCube]] |
| | |
| == Core of the infobox ==
| |
| Our info box start off with 5 areas to be used, plus the ability to add more. For example:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| {{InfoBoxBegin | class = {{{class|}}} Fruit | caption = Fruit | style= {{{style|}}} }}
| |
| {{!-}}
| |
| ! colspan=2 {{!}} Details
| |
| {{InfoBoxDetails
| |
| | Info1name = Colors
| |
| | Info1details = {{{colors|}}}
| |
| | Info2name = Taste
| |
| | Info2details = {{{taste|}}}
| |
| | Info3name = Baked
| |
| | Info3details = {{{baked|}}}
| |
| | Info4name = Salted
| |
| | Info4details = {{{salted|}}}
| |
| | Info5name = [[related info]]
| |
| | Info5details = {{{related_info|}}}
| |
| }}
| |
| <!-- {{infoboxentry}} -->
| |
| {{InfoBoxEnd}}
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| comes out looking like:
| |
| {{InfoBoxBegin | class = {{{class|}}} Fruit | caption = Fruit | style= {{{style|}}} }}
| |
| {{!-}}
| |
| ! colspan=2 {{!}} Details
| |
| {{InfoBoxDetails
| |
| | Info1name = Colors
| |
| | Info1details = {{{colors|}}}
| |
| | Info2name = Taste
| |
| | Info2details = {{{taste|}}}
| |
| | Info3name = Baked
| |
| | Info3details = {{{baked|}}}
| |
| | Info4name = Salted
| |
| | Info4details = {{{salted|}}}
| |
| | Info5name = [[related info]]
| |
| | Info5details = {{{related_info|}}}
| |
| }}
| |
| <!-- {{}} -->
| |
| {{InfoBoxEnd}}
| |
| | |
| | |
| Each row in the table has 2 cells: Info#name and Info#details, where # is the row number. [[Template:InfoBoxDetails]] has room for 5 rows, and [[Template:infoboxentry]] can dynamically add a row for each time it's used. [[Template:InfoBoxBegin]] and [[Template:InfoBoxEnd]] complete the box with all the needed info.
| |
| | |
| == Parameters ==
| |
| when using a infobox within another template, like [[Template:VehicleInfobox]], you can specify the name of each row to something related to related usage of the template. In our example above, We are expecting this particular infobox to be used on Fruit related pages; therefore we told the template we are inheriting that we want the 5 fields to be called: Colors, Taste, Baked, Salted and "related info".
| |
| | |
| Now, being we are using multiple layers of embedding templates, we want to make sure the end user's information is pass through our template and up to the core infobox template that actaully uses the infomation. This is where the parameters with a varible on the end come in handy. They look like <nowiki>| Info4details = {{{salted|}}}</nowiki> and if the end user specifies a value for "salted", we take it and pass it along as "Info4details". Neat, isn't it?
| |
| | |
| Lets take a look at another example.
| |
| | |
| == CharacterInfobox template ==
| |
| at the time of this writing, CharacterInfobox looked like this:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| {{InfoBoxBegin | class = {{{class|}}} Character color5 | caption = [[Lylat Wiki:Characters|Character]] | style= {{{style|}}} }}
| |
| {{!-}}
| |
| {{!}} colspan=2 {{!}}
| |
| {{#if: {{{picture|}}} | [[File:{{{picture}}}|100px]] | Have an image of this character? Why not [[Special:Upload|upload]] it? }}
| |
| {{!-}}
| |
| ! colspan=2 {{!}} Details
| |
| {{InfoBox
| |
| | Info1name = name
| |
| | Info1details = {{{name}}}
| |
| | Info2name = [[home planet]]
| |
| | Info2details = {{{home_planet|}}}
| |
| | Info3name = [[role]]
| |
| | Info3details = {{{role|}}}
| |
| | Info4name = [[premier game]]
| |
| | Info4details = {{{premier_game|}}}
| |
| | Info5name = [[affiliations]]
| |
| | Info5details = {{{affiliations|}}}
| |
| }}
| |
| <!-- {{infoboxentry}} -->
| |
| {{InfoBoxEnd}}
| |
| </pre>
| |
| and came out like this
| |
| {{InfoBoxBegin | class = {{{class|}}} Character color5 | caption = [[Lylat Wiki:Characters|Character]] | style= {{{style|}}} }}
| |
| {{!-}}
| |
| {{!}} colspan=2 {{!}}
| |
| {{#if: {{{picture|}}} | [[File:{{{picture}}}|100px]] | Have an image of this character? Why not [[Special:Upload|upload]] it? }}
| |
| {{!-}}
| |
| ! colspan=2 {{!}} Details
| |
| {{InfoBox
| |
| | Info1name = name
| |
| | Info1details = {{{name}}}
| |
| | Info2name = [[home planet]]
| |
| | Info2details = {{{home_planet|}}}
| |
| | Info3name = [[role]]
| |
| | Info3details = {{{role|}}}
| |
| | Info4name = [[premier game]]
| |
| | Info4details = {{{premier_game|}}}
| |
| | Info5name = [[affiliations]]
| |
| | Info5details = {{{affiliations|}}}
| |
| }}
| |
| <!-- {{infoboxentry}} -->
| |
| {{InfoBoxEnd}}
| |
| | |
| Becuase of the way we set up parameters, a user of the characterinfobox only needs to place this in the artilce:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| {{CharacterInfoBox
| |
| | name =
| |
| | class =
| |
| | style =
| |
| | picture =
| |
| | name =
| |
| | home_planet =
| |
| | role =
| |
| | premier_game =
| |
| | affiliations =
| |
| }}
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
