SeptemWiki:Style Guide/Templates

The judicious use of templates will make it easier for SeptemWiki editors to write clear, consistent articles. This guide contains information on templates which editors should know about and use appropriately.

Template Syntax

A template is inserted into a page using the syntax:

{{TemplateName|param1=A|param2=B|param3=C|...}}

where TemplateName is the name of the template, and param1 is the name of a parameter given the value A, param2 is a parameter given the value B, and so on.

For some simple templates, only parameter values are specified, not their names; if there are multiple parameters in such a case, they must be given in order. An example is the "main article" template, which takes only one parameter:

{{main|Triparic language}}

And some templates may be so simple they need no parameters at all:

{{stub}}

In the event you wish to make your wiki code more readable, you may insert line breaks between the parameters of a template. So the example at the top of this section could be written:

{{TemplateName
|param1=A
|param2=B
|param3=C
|...}}
