Usage[edit]
How to manage this template's initial visibility
To manage this template's visibility when it first appears, add the parameter:
|state=collapsed
to show the template in its collapsed state, i.e. hidden apart from its titlebar – e.g.{{Wikipedia technical help |state=collapsed}}
|state=expanded
to show the template in its expanded state, i.e. fully visible – e.g.{{Wikipedia technical help |state=expanded}}
|state=autocollapse
to show the template in its collapsed state but only if there is another template of the same type on the page – e.g.{{Wikipedia technical help |state=autocollapse}}
Unless set otherwise (see the |state=
parameter in the template's code), the template's default state is autocollapse
.
Purpose[edit]
This is a navbox of the main technical help pages on English Wikipedia.
It doesn't list them all as there are too many, but these should be the most helpful ones of a technical nature.
Additional help[edit]
Some of the links are also on the {{Help navigation}} navbox. Other helpful navboxes for technical matters include
- {{Wikipedia template messages}} for an index of templates.
- {{Wikipedia referencing}} for referencing templates.
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Accessibility/Navigation menu is helpful for accessibility.
- {{Botnav}} for bot page navigation.
- Wikipedia:User scripts/Navbox for user scripts.
Also, look at template documentation, e.g. Template:Navbox/doc.
As for categories, these are useful:
- Category:Wikipedia help and subcategories such as Category:Wikipedia how-to, Category:Wikipedia image help, Category:Wikipedia interface help, Category:Wikipedia link help, and so on.
- Category:Wikipedia information pages
See also[edit]
- {{Wikipedia editor navigation}} an amalgamation of navboxes that includes this navbox.
