This page provides a list of the most commonly used templates at this wiki. Simply place the text listed under "How to insert" in the appropriate place.

Contents

GeneralEdit

These templates should be inserted at the top of every article.

Name What it is used for How to insert
Game/source Marking which Jak and Daxter game(s) the information in an article comes from or relates to. For a list of accepted abbreviations, please see Template:Games. {{Games|<game1>|<game2>|<etc>}}

Page managementEdit

Page management templates are used if you notice that something is out of order with a certain page or section and want to bring it to the attention of other editors or administrators. They display a box describing the issue and add the page to the appropriate maintenance category.

These templates should generally be placed at the very top of a page unless you only want to mark a section for "treatment"; then they should be at the top of that section. The exceptions to this rule are:

  • {{stub}}, which should be at the bottom of a page.
  • {{section}}, which should be inserted in the place of the missing section.

All of these templates can be used with two unnamed parameters:

  • The first unnamed parameter can be used for specifying the game(s) an editor needs to own/be knowledgeable about in order to resolve the issue (see {{abb}} for valid inputs).
  • The second unnamed parameter can be used for describing the issue in more detail.

Navigation and categoriesEdit

Example:

These templates are used to improve the navigation and structure of the Jak and Daxter Wiki.

Name When to use it How to insert
Category page Add it to every category to automatically create a link to the article of the same name as the category. {{Catmore}}
Disambiguation If a term can refer to multiple articles (more than 2) place this at the top of the the page and list the possible articles the term may refer to. {{Disambig}}
For, see If a term can refer to 2 articles place this at the very top of both articles to link to the other meaning. {{For|<example text>|<example link>}}
Main article If something should be briefly mentioned in one article but is explained in more detail in another. {{Main|<example link>}}
See If something is explained in more detail in another article and does not need to be explained in the current one. {{See|<example link>}}

NavboxesEdit

Navboxes are used to ease navigation between a certain group of articles. They should be inserted in all articles of that group at the very bottom of an article, just above the categories. Exception to this rule are sidebars, these should inserted close to the top of an article.

New navboxes can be constructed with {{Navbox}}. For a list of existing navboxes, please see Category:Navbox templates.
