These tables allow an editor to easily create a table for a list of items from it's corresponding category. An editor can also create a custom list from the names of desired items only. Any item page that uses the [[Template:Item Statistics|Item Statistics]] template (most do and need converting if not) are eligble for use. I cannot stress enough how amazing and simple these templates are, please try them.

Commonly Used Templates

This page is a list of all the templates we commonly use on the Wiki. In each section you will find categorised lists of our most commonly used templates, an example page where they are in use and a description of their use cases. Some templates may have multiple use cases and as such may appear multiple times.

The page is still a work in progress so please bear with us.

Templates to Assist Editing

Name Example Page Description
Preview Only Infobox This template only works in 'preview mode' whilst editing. The template can be attatched to the 'Usage' section of any other template, which will then display instructions on how to fill out each parameter.

DPL Templates

These tables allow an editor to easily create a table for a list of items from it's corresponding category. An editor can also create a custom list from the names of desired items only. Any item page that uses the Item Statistics template (most do and need converting if not) are eligble for use. I cannot stress enough how amazing and simple these templates are, please try them.

Name Example Page Description
WeaponsTable Warrior Page Used to easily create a table for weapons. Editors can filter the table to display certain jobs, weapon types or a custom list of weapons.
ArmorTable White Mage Page Used to easily create a table for armor. Editors can filter the table to dsiplay certain jobs, armor types or a custom list of armor.
InstrumentTable Bard Page Used to easily create a table for instruments. Editors can filter to display string instruments, wind instruments or a custom list of intruments.

Infoboxes

Name Example Page Description
  • Infobox Magic

Item/ Item Pages

  • Used in - used on item pages for 'other uses' section.
  • AH - used on item pages 'how to obtain' via AH.
  • Synthesis Recipes
  • rl - use to show "can be used in these recipes" on item pages.
  • Item Statistics
  • Item Image (used to generate the images at the top of each item page so they all have the same size)

Tooltips

  • Location - used to generate maps on hover with coordinate square highlighted. Calls template:position to achieve this, which calls template:Location Tooltip... its a mess
  • Location Tooltip - similar to Location but with more funcationality I think. Calls Template:tooltip
  • Tooltip - this seems to be the base template used by all tooltip functionality. Assigns html id and css classes so some javascript function can pick it up and display a tooltip.

Miscellaneous

  • Item Tooltip - not used commonly but Ill mention here lol. I built that one to generate the tooltips on the ArmorTable and WeaponsTable. Can be used on any Item really. Uses a dpl call to get the icon from the item page by looking into the Item Image template on that page and grabbing the filename. calls template:tooltip to generate the tooltip
  • Stat - used to display stats in a uniform manner on item pages, capital letters, link, bold, ...
  • Changes - comes with the tooltip.
  • Verification - adds a warning triangle that information may not be accurate.
  • Command - to be used on any Command/??? pages.

Utility

  • Delete?? - used so editors can tag pages to be deleted.

Out of Era Content

  • TOAU, WOTG, SOA, afterera, noera
