Indenting a paragraph
simply place the tag:
<para/>
at the beginning of any line to indent
Citations, footnotes, references
to add footnotes to a page[1], automatically incrementing, insert the following code, then add an empty <references/> tag where you want the footnotes to appear
this line of text has a footnote<ref>text appearing in footnote below</ref> <references/>
Relative Linking
instead of using the standard [[pagename|display]] format, use:
{{rl|pagename|display}}
this will allow access to sub-pages without having to link down the entire url to the root web
eg: /Resources/People/Ingame could be referenced as {{rl|Ingame}} from the People page.
eg: /Resources/People/OOgame could be referenced as {{rl|../OOgame|OOgame}} from the Ingame page
Spoiler tag
to hide potential spoiler text inline, place it within<spoiler>test</spoiler>
Embedded sections
to include subpages within the content, you can use the code:
{{section|content=(namespace:pagename)|header=(text)|color=(name)}}
or on multiple lines
{{section| |content=(namespace:pagename) |header=(text) |color=(name)
'namespace' can be ignored for main pages, but the colon must remain - that is, the '/Puzzles' page could be referenced as 'content=:Puzzles' or 'content=WorldWithoutOil:Puzzles'
both 'header' and 'color' are optional. Leaving header blank removes the header line entirely. Leaving color blank renders the box in gray
The box is rendered to 100% of the width of the containing object (thus, to place some side by side, either enclose the template in a floated div, or within table cells, for example.
Cladograms
to create a cladogram, use the Template:Clade feature. See examples and documentation here Template:Clade
{{clade |1={{clade |label1=Sub-clade |1={{clade | style=font-size:75%; line-height:75%; | thickness=3 |1=Leaf1 |2=Leaf2 }} |label2=Stub leaf |2=Leaf3 }} }}
- ↑ the footnote, of course, will be displayed in the footer
