Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template allows a help-related navigation template to be set up relatively quickly by supplying it with one or more lists of links.

Usual syntax

{{Helpbox
| name    =  <!-- or: | templatename = -->
| title   =  <!-- or, if templatename used: | name = -->

| group1  = 
| list1   = 

| group2  = 
| list2   = 

<!-- etc, to: -->

| group20 = 
| list20  = 

}}

Parameters

Required

title (or, if templatename used (see below), name): The template's title, centered at the top of the template.

list_n

(i.e. list1, list2, etc.) The body of the template, usually a list of links. Format is inline, although the text can be entered on separate lines if the entire list is enclosed within <div>...</div>. At least one list parameter is required. Each list_n may be preceded by a corresponding group_n parameter, if provided (see below). There is a limit of 20 lists/groups in a template.

Optional

group_n: (i.e. group1, group2, etc.) If specified, text appears in a header displayed above list_n.
first unnamed parameter: Inline CSS for the template.
name (or, if name used as above, templatename): The template's pagename, activating the inclusion of the V•T•E links in its bottom righthand corner. Template:Helpbox's pagename, for example, is "Helpbox".

Example

{{Helpbox |width:17.5em
| name = Helpbox/doc
| class = plainlist
| title = [[:Category:Wikipedia policies|Wikipedia policy]]

| group1 = Article standards
| list1 =
*[[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|Neutral point of view]]
*[[Wikipedia:Verifiability|Verifiability]]
*[[Wikipedia:No original research|No original research]]
*[[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons|Biographies of living persons]]

| group2 = Working with others

*[[Wikipedia:Consensus|Consensus]]
*[[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|No personal attacks]]
*[[Wikipedia:Dispute resolution|Dispute resolution]]

*[[Wikipedia:Ignore all rules|Ignore all rules]]
}}
