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.

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.
