Definition
Templates are shortcuts to display specific information autmatically. TM Wiki uses templates to facilitate the writing and page setup.
To use a template you need to set its name between two sets of curly brackets, or braces: "{". Example: to use Template:ToDo, add the following line to your text:
{{ToDo}}
Available templates
Working indicators
Two simple templates are available in this category. The first one, Template:ToDo, is used to put the article in a "to do" category. This indicates that the article is not yet finished and needs improvement. Don't hesitate to use this template in each section that needs completion or rewriting.
{{toDo}}
The second one, Template:Translate, is used when you've finished an article, and it need translation into French. If you've added a big section and you don't have the time or knowledge to translate it yourself, simply add this template to section in need of translation. The article will be set to a specific category for translation.
{{translate}}
Categories using templates
Some categories use templates instead of regular Category tags. These templates add a table to be completed, so every article in this category is coherent with this style.
These categories are:
Instead of using the "Category" tag, use the those templates:
- Template:Software, in an article in the Tools category
- Template:Player, in an article in the People category
- Template:Website, in an article in the Websites category
- Template:Team, in an article in the Teams category
See the template to check their parameters
The template category lists all the templates used as category taggers.
External links
When you create an external link (non-wiki), please use a language tag to show what language is used on this website. For now, there are two language templates : "en" (English) and "fr" (French).
Example:
* {{en}} [http://www.cnn.com CNN Website]
shows:
- (en) CNN Website
