User:Firestar/Testing Grounds/Template List

This is a test for a potential template list:

Page Templates

There are a wide variety of different templates that can be used to give information to editors and readers of articles and pages. This page is to teach you how to use these many templates.

Header Templates

These are templates that are used to give information to readers and editors at either the top of articles or sections.

Basic Parameters

Parameters are used on templates to give extra information or for more customizability on certain aspects of the template. Here is a list of the most basic parameters that can be used. Every section of templates will also state how each parameter is used for those templates if the template does not use these parameters in the same way as listed here.

• 1: The 1 parameter usually gives an editor the option to add extra information to a template. An example of this can be seen with the "WIP" template to specify what is a work in progress, like this: {{WIP|Page needs to be expanded.}}. In this example, this parameter is used to add "Page needs to be expanded." into the "WIP" template.
• Section: The section parameter is used to specify whether a template is giving information for an entire article or a section of an article. An example of this can be seen with the "Testbox" template to specify if something in a section needs to be tested, like this: {{Testbox|section=1}}. In this example, this parameter is used to move the "Testbox" template to the left of the page and specify that it is a section that needs testing, not the entire article.
• Nocat: The nocat parameter is used to hide delete categories that are automatically generated when some templates are inserted into pages. An example of this can be seen with the "Downgrade Warning" template to specify what is a work in progress, like this: {{Downgrade Warning|nocat=1}}. In this example, this parameter is used to delete the "Downgrade" template that is automatically generated.

In Text Templates

These templates are used in the text of a page to give information.

This section is a work in progress. 

Please help in the creation of this article by expanding or improving it.
To do: More in-text templates need to be added.

Page Template - This template, {{page}}, is used to directly link pages in the JE (Java Edition), BE (Bedrock Edition), or CE (Legacy Console Edition) namespaces. It is used like this:

• Firstly, the first part of the page template, {{page, must be used.
• Secondly, the part of the template that specifies the page must be added as |pagename. "pagename" is where you specify the name of the page without the namespace.

Your code should now look like this: {{page|pagename

• Finally, you need to specify the namespace as |ns=nsn. "nsn" is where you specify the namespace.
• Additionally, a parameter can be specified to change the text of the link as |customtext. "customtext" is where you specify the custom text for the link.

The final code should look like this: {{page|pagename|customtext|ns=nsn}}. An example of this is {{page|Permanent Glowing Entity|Glowing Entity|ns=JE}}, where the "Page" template is used to directly link to the "Permanent Glowing Entity" page, with custom text that changes the original text of the link.

---

TestTag Template - This template, {{test}}, or {{testTag}} is used to very specifically specify that something in-text needs to be tested. This template is extremely easy to use. Just type in {{test}} or its alternative and text with a tag template displaying "test" and leading to the "Needs Testing" category will appear.

Let's say that there is a paragraph that contains information from an article, and something very specific and ungeneralized needs to be tested. You would use a TestTag, or the "test" template as the following:

---

Category Template - This template, {{category}}, {{c}}, is used to directly link categories. It is used like this:

• Firstly, the first part of the page template, {{category, must be used.
• Secondly, the part of the template that specifies the name of the category must be added as |categoryname. "categoryname" is where you specify the name of the category without the namespace.

Your code should now look like this: {{category|categoryname

• Finally, you will probably need to change the actual text. |customtext. "customtext" is where you specify the namespace. You will want to do this because an example of a category name is "Java Entities", when you might want the display text, or the custom text to display as "entity discontinued feature", or something similar.

The final code should look like this: {{category|categoryname|customtext}}. An example of this is {{category|Java Entity NBT|Discontinued Entity Data}}, where the "category" template is used to directly link to the "Java Entity NBT" category, with custom text that changes the original text of the link.
