 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Information page. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This is the page banner template for Wikipedia information page essays.
It can be placed on top of (non-article) pages when appropriate. This usually means pages in the "Wikipedia:" and "Help:" namespaces, but sometimes information pages also exist as user subpages.
Categorization
If a page that uses this template is in the "Wikipedia:" or "Help:" namespace, then this template adds Category:Wikipedia information pages to the page.
If the page is in the "User:" namespace, it will be put into Category:User essays. If your page is just a draft, please use the |nocat= parameter to prevent categorization, until it is finished.
If it is in some other namespace, it will not be auto-categorized, and it may be in the wrong place.
Usage
This template can be used as is, like this:
{{Information page}}
But it can also take up to three shortcuts as parameters. It then displays a small shortcut box inside it. Like this:
{{Information page|WP:SHORT|WP:SHORT2}}
Then it looks like this:
{{Information page|WP:SHORT|WP:SHORT2|demo=y}}
If you want to feed more than one or two shortcuts then the shortcut box becomes too high, which doesn't look good. In such a case it is better to use a {{shortcut}} box directly below this template, like this:
Optional parameters
|1=or|sc1=,|shortcut1=,|shortcut=, or first unnamed parameter – First shortcut. Don't include[[...]]linking brackets in this or other shortcut parameters.|2=or|sc2=,|shortcut2=, or first unnamed parameter – Second shortcut|3=or|sc3=,|shortcut3=, or first unnamed parameter – Third shortcut (deprecated; please use separate Template:Shortcut for three or more)|interprets=or|page=– Specify name of page (policy, process, etc.) that this essay provides advice about. Don't include[[...]]linking brackets. This will replace the wording "Wikipedia's norms and practices". [The deprecated old parameter name|pages=also works, but this feature only supports a single page reference, so the plural makes no sense here.]|sort-by=– Specify a sort key for the category. For example, if the how-to page is Wikipedia:Producing maps with xplanet and you want it category-sorted to appear under "X", use|sort-by=Xplanet, Producing maps with. This has no effect on the user essays category.|category=– Specify a complete wikilink (i.e, do include the[[...]]linking brackets) to one or more categories to override the default Category:Wikipedia information pages. May include a category sort; example:[[Category:WikiProject Underwater Basketweaving|Article structure advice]]This parameter does not replace the Category:User essays categorization for pages in the "User:" namespace, but can be used to add them manually to Category:Wikipedia information pages, in addition to the automatic user category.|nocat=yor|demo=y– Bypass all categorization, when the template is used for demo purposes, e.g. in template documentation, on talk pages, etc.|style=– Pass arbitrary CSS to the Template:Ombox metatemplate that this template uses (this should never be necessary except in complicated wikiproject layouts).
