Welcome to the TTSCpedia (beta)! This wiki is the successor to the FANDOM/Wikia version! You may create an account on the new wiki during the Public Beta stage and begin editing. Please see the to-do list here. Any content from the FANDOM/Wikia wiki will not be transferred automatically, such as pages, and accounts. That must be done manually by the end user, being you. |
Limited Feature Set Many TTSCpedia features are currently semi-broken due to regressions introduced with the MediaWiki upgrade. We hope to be fully operational again soon. The MonoBook skin has temporarily been set as the default skin due to Cali not being fully ported to the new version of MediaWiki. |
Template:Information page/doc
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:

– Specify name of page (policy, process, etc.) that this essay provides advice about. For a single page, it is not necessary to include[[...]]
linking brackets;. This will replace the wording "our norms and practices". If more than one page and/or any notes are intended, links must be manually coded.|sort-by=
– Specify a sort key for the category. This has no effect on the user essays category.|category=
– Specify a complete wikilink (i.e, do include the[[...]]
linking brackets) to one or more categories to override the default Category:TTSCpedia information pages. May include a category sort. This parameter does not replace the Category:User essays categorization for pages in the "User:" namespace, but can be used to add them manually to Category:TTSCpedia information pages, in addition to the automatic user category.|nocat=y
or|demo=y
– Bypass all categorization, when the template is used for demo purposes, e.g. in template documentation, on talk pages, etc.|style=
