Template:Information page
This is an information page. It describes the editing community's established practice on some aspect or aspects of our norms and customs. |
This is the page banner template for information pages.
It can be placed on top of administration pages (not-articles) when appropriate. This usually means pages in the "TTSCpedia:" and "Help:" namespaces, but sometimes information pages also exist as user subpages.
Categorization
If a page that uses this template is in the "TTSCpedia:" or "Help:" namespace, then this template adds Category:TTSCpedia information pages to the page.
If the page is in the "User:" namespace, it will be put into Category:User essays. If your page is just a draft, please use the |nocat=
parameter to prevent categorization, until it is finished.
If it is in some other namespace, it will not be auto-categorized, and it may be in the wrong place.
Usage
This template can be used as is, like this:
{{Information page}}
But it can also take up to three shortcuts as parameters. It then displays a small shortcut box inside it. Like this:
{{Information page|WP:SHORT|WP:LONG}}
Then it looks like this:
This is an information page. It describes the editing community's established practice on some aspect or aspects of our norms and customs. |
If you want to feed more than one or two shortcuts then the shortcut box becomes too high, which doesn't look good. In such a case it is better to use a {{shortcut}}
box directly below this template, like this:
