This page contains a list of templates available on this site for use in wiki pages.

Page requires expanding to include Page & Section framework templates.

Page templates

Placeholder text for 'Page templates'.

Section templates

Placeholder text for 'Section templates'.

Transclusion templates

Transclusion code is a special link which inserts the entire contents of a page into the calling page.

Transclusions allows use of single-source 'boilerplate text' to be replicated across multiple pages.
Generally these should be standalone, uncategorised, pages, containing just the core text.

Most useful for 'Function Reference' listings pages, and their matching detail pages.

A transclusion can call other transclusions, see the sample Related Transclusion below.

Transclusion templates - Samples

Transclusion templates for use in the Missions category.

NB
TopicPageName, in the code samples below, is a 'placeholder title' for your page's title.

Related Transclusion

A transclusion can call other transclusions.

Pre-assembled lists of related page 'oneline' transclusions.

Examples

See examples at -

Code
<!-- Paste the following line to required location -
{{:Transclusion-Missions-Related-TopicPageName}}
 -->
{{:Transclusion-Missions-Oneline-TopicPageName}}
{{:Transclusion-Missions-Oneline-TopicPageName}}
{{:Transclusion-Missions-Oneline-TopicPageName}}
{{:Transclusion-Missions-Oneline-TopicPageName}}
{{:Transclusion-Missions-Oneline-TopicPageName}}

Transclusion templates - Creating

Detail here.

Naming convention.

The comment section should always be left in place in the transclusion page.
This allows editors to easily copy & paste the wikicode directly into their required content page.

Transclusion templates - Applying

As per all wiki internal links, creating a link in a page, then clicking that link will take you to that page, (or editor window).

e.g. Pasting the following code into your page -

{{:Transclusion-Missions-SeeDetail}}

Gives the following output -

This is an overview page. For expanded detail click the topic links below.

Transclusion templates - Editing Content

Editing a page containing a transclusion, will not display the content text, just the calling wikicode.
Look beneath the edit window, you'll see a list of links to all the 'templates' called in that page.
Clicking those links allows direct editing of the transclusion's content.
Editing the transclusion page itself, will cause text on every calling page to display the applied changes.
