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, a description of their use cases and an example page where they are in use. Some templates may have multiple use cases so 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 and will display instructions on how to use it.

DPL Templates

  • WeaponsTable
  • ArmorTable

Infoboxes

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
