Help:Templates

Templates are special pages which reduce the need for writing the same thing multiple times. For general information on creating and using templates, see Meta-Wiki's page on templates. This page will list and explain the templates available on this wiki.

One important feature of templates is their ability to take arguments. A template with no arguments is called as

{{template name}}

Note that the "Template:" part of the name is left out. To send arguments, one writes

{{template name|argument1=value1|argument2=Some other value}}

Template:Clear

Makes sure that the following text will not overlap any floats.

Template:Stub

Put at the bottom of a page to mark it as lacking in content. The page will be put into Category:Stubs.

Template:Moreinfo wikipedia

Makes a link to wikipedia to the page specified by the page variable given to the template. For example,

{{moreinfo wikipedia|page=ROM hacking}}

gives "More non-ROM hacking specific information can be found at Wikipedia's ROM hacking article."

Template:Rommap

Should be at the top of every ROM map. Takes the argument game, which should be a wiki-link to the game which the page is a ROM map for.

Template:Infobox table

Should be at the top of all pages documenting data tables. Takes several arguements:

name

name of table

game

game table is found in

start

starting address of the table

end

ending address of the table

numentries

number of entries in the table

entrylength

the length of each entry

totallength
